What Do You See?
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see me now or where I used to be?
Do you see where I'm going or where I'm coming from?
Or do you see the pain I'm in leaving my body numb?
If so then change your vision
Because my mistakes help me make better decisions
Yeah I'm young and came from the dump
But move out my way because ya girl's moving up
Leaving ain't fina be easy
But I got better things waiting for me
I may have been born here but this ain't where I'm gone stay
I just need to find my way
Find my way to better places
Find my way to better faces
Ain't nobody fina hold me back
From letting go and giving all that I have
I won't let my past dictate my future
And I'm moving so fast I'm bound to lose ya
So many people trying to get in my way
But ain't nobody fina take my brighter day
Came this far to be happy
Came this far for nobody but me
Came this far just to be free
Came this far to be...me
I already got people doubting me
But they not fina dictate what I'll be
They not gon tell me what I do and don't know
They not gon tell me where I'ma go
I opened my eyes so now I see
See all the things that are waiting for me
See all the people behind me
See all the people supporting me
See everything that I am
See everything that I'm gon be
