You're Royalty


My mother always told me You're royalty But I had so many questions for her like: How are we royalty but we can't find a place to sleep How are we royalty but we don't have any money We went from riches to rags From having bags of J's to having salvation army bags Our blasphemous belittling of something so real called life broke us It's clear to see that materialistic things are like Tribulations God can take away any second You're royalty A soothing eargasm as if it's poetry But it never took the pain away It never took away the trials I went through everyday My faith in my Savior started to fade As depression and sadness invade Making a lot of money is what motivate Me Although I'm 15 The things that I've seen Shouldn't be seen by a person of You.Are.Royalty If my future self could talk to me She would say: "You are royalty babygirl You know the ins and outs of this world Even though all of the things you've went through You know how it feels to be in a poor man's shoes Purple robes laced with gold seams Confidence and money as big as out dreams Is what reminds us of royalty And when that time comes we'll do as we please So when they see us they'll know that you're royalty."
