I want to paint your story on your body
Since people don't have the mental to dig deeper into your soul
I want to let the world know you are not someone to be called a hoe
But a beautiful mystery who has fought battles and tragedies that if they were faced with; they'd fold
I want to let the world know that in every one of your flaws there is gold
And why search the world for diamonds
When paradise lies underneath your nose
Only someone with patience to dust off your pain
Can help you to regain your steps,
build up your strength
and use your mistakes
As your most valuable weapon
With a future of more challenging roads
Live fearlessly of what others think they know.
