lyrics

My motivation is the revelation of my testament
My flow is heaven sent and haters are irrellevant
Blessed and too intelligent to dwell upon the negative
Pressing on a better tip and focused on forever
Never will I forget my one and only treasure
Lies within my mind you'll never measure
However, children always checkin for my cheddar
Blessings fall abundantly they trip but I"m whatever
Clever cuz luck is just as fickle a the weather
and Karma never slips for stars, we know better
So go getters, big walkers, giant steppers
I bring measures of water to fill you all up

I write bars to breathe the fire in Assata
I don't see her free but still I gotta
Be the change I need so I work harder
Easy ain't the way to be for sons and daughters
Who got a mother or father that raised 'em proper
Even tho we all fall short, We Stand Taller...


I ain't preachin but my life is still a ministry
Speaking and defending the media's public enemy
ME - simply cuz I won't pretend to be
Flimsy with my character to slide up in the industry
Still this chick will bury ya
4-5 carrier
Praying for salvation but the haters wanna take it there
I don't een make it fair they softer than some baby hair
Don't ya know you may appear the reason for a tattooed tear
But i'm on some new shyt this here
is for my 80s babies all grown up its our year
Its Our Shine...you only live one time
So go grind
And be your own problem solver
Cuz easy ain't the way to be for sons and daughters
who got a mother or father that raised ya proper
Even tho we all fall short we Stand Taller

I WRITE THE BARS TO BREATHE THE FIRE IN ASSATA
I DON'T SEE HER FREE BUT STILL I GOTTA
BE THE CHANGE I NEED SO I WORK HARDER
AND WORK HARDER
AND WORK HARDER
EASY AIN'T THE WAY FOR ME, CUZ I'M A DAUGHTER
I GOT A MOTHER AND FATHER THAT RAISED ME PROPER
BUT EVEN THO I FALL SHORT, I STAND TALLER....

SO WORK HARDER
AND STAND TALLER
AND WORK HARDER
AND STAND TALLER
AND WORK HARDER
AND STAND TALLER.....AND WORK HARDER...AND STAND TALLER
