I’m Not The Type


I’m Not The Type to think my beauty will take me places 

But I know my brain will

Im not the type that cares about feelings

But I know how pain feels 

I’m not the type to put my head down like I’m worthless

Instead my head stays up I call it “Walking With A Purpose”

Im not the type to be arrogant 

But I’m the type to be confident 

Statistics will make you think I’m belligerent 

But I was taught to be nothing but Intelligent 

Never will I let another persons words define me

So all those statistics are what I put behind me 

Others may be thinking I’m faking it 

But I’m just focused on making it 

Nothing less, I’m putting my best foot forward 

This ship is sailing one way & im not going backwards or overboard 

Im not the type to make you feel like it’s easy

You have to work for what you want

And money don’t please me
