True Me


I realized that all that matters I'd me and mine I'm loosing my focus a little bit A young girl with big dreams It's a miracle that I came this far Rewinding my memories like tape I took step on my mother land Got no time for back and forth life I'll make a racket a punch I gotta pack it Life is hard I'm sure it will get harder You can laugh You looked down on me Everyone talked smack about me even my enemies and friends But not anymore, Change the channel Yeah you know I'm fuckin ready Lifestyle heavy Get ready for a long trip Some call it fate I call it life I didn't choose it Life chose me I did it for the love I did it, I did it I said I did it for the love I did it I'ma own it This is my moment The struggles of a 16 year old shit I came here without even knowing the language No one understands me, nobody I needed a chance, The end of my wandering I prayed that I will never ever fall again Drowning under pressure What comes after my insanity Friends that stabbed my back Brought me back into reality I erased my bad experiences This is my last declaration to myself There ain't no stopping me Nothing changed I'm still the same The world is smiling at me I've waited, I've waited For the sun to rise My tears gathered to be an ocean No matter how dangerous, I'll keep walking Once again, even if time passes, I'll keep on walking I'll keep on living I did it, I did it I did it for myself
