Your rating:
My eyes are wide this morning, but my heart is heavy still There’s a sea inside me, storming ‘cause I’m battling with my will Though I may grow tired and weary, and there’s ache within my bones I will fight for what I believe in, even if I fight alone I know that I’m gon’, keep on moving on ‘Cause nobody can stop me yeah ‘Cause I gathered my armour, and I’m ready for battle I’ve got my weapons drawn, takin’ the road less traveled And I’m ready to do this, and nobody can stop me ‘Cause I’m thoroughly convinced, this is my love and it runs deep In my life, there have been many Who have tried to break me down But I know in my soul, oh, that I am upward bound Doesn’t matter what they think of me, cause I know what I was born to be I don’t do it ‘cause it’s trendy, I hold onto my integrity Manifest my own reality, and soon all them haters will see That nobody can stop me yeah Cause I gathered my armour, and I’m ready for battle I’ve got my weapons drawn, takin’ the road less traveled And I’m ready to do this, and nobody can stop me ‘Cause I’m thoroughly convinced, this is my love and it runs deep Little nappy headed skinny ass black girl, back of the class Didn’t try, I didn’t think I could pass Didn’t fight ‘cause I had already lost more than my share of battles Before I hit double digits many tried to break me, make me give in Listen, not playing stupid so they don’t feel intimidated Give up on my goals and dreams for theirs to be accommodated Let them use my mind and body, making their shit look bossy Not speak up and use my gifts cause they might call me “bitch” and “bossy” Know in my soul what I’m down here for Exactly what I love, what ma crowned me for What I hold, they can’t touch, what I have, they can’t buy Went toe to toe with doubt a couple of times, abandoned that lie Yea I lost some battles but I’ll win the war Haters stay underestimating; I’ll settle the score Run deep like the blood in my veins, it gives me fever Won’t stop 'til I’m running the game, now sang it Deva And I I gathered my armour And I'm ready for battle, I've got my weapons drawn Taken the road less traveled, and I'm ready to do this And nobody can stop me, cause I'm thoroughly convinced This is my love and it runs deep
