Realizing
I Was Born Just a Lil Girl., On This Earth Where It Spins and Twirls
I've Always Had a Mother Who Was Always Around., Yet a Father Was Never to Be Found
I Grew Up in Negative Environments., Always Came Along With the Negative Comments
How I Cant Do This and That., All Because I Wasn't Black
Why Should Race Even Be Mention., Everywhere I Went I Felt the Tension
For The Longest I Tried So Hard., But Then Life Caught Me Off Guard
Seeing What My Mother Went Through for Her Own., Its a trait I Want When I Am Grown
I Fell Off and Lost Track., But As of Now I'm Getting It All Back
I'm Not Who I Used to Be., But Now I know Who is "ME"
To The People Who Hold a Grudge., You Will Always Be the First to Judge
I Dropped the Past., Because Where I Wanna Be., I Want it to Last
