Ode To Juan

You make me feel insecure Looking at me with your condescending eyes Yeah you look good, have a job, got a ride and a house Nah I aint your blue collar, white collar chick I walk alone to a beat that only few hear You think you are so smart Using your extensive vocabulary to shackle me Yeah you look good, have a job, got a ride and a house I aint gonna lie I don’t have it all together but I’m front and center Nah I’m not an engineer, studying to be a chemist But what flows through these veins is newness I’m a leader, Queen, renegade looking for my King I thought you could be the one to forge the world with Experiencing the mysteries, pleasures that only few see But you look down on me cause I’m not your nanny, manager, banker Yeah you look good, have a job, got a ride and a house But I’m the STAR whose light will never diminish Cause what flows through me was sent from heaven Yeah you look good, have a job, got a ride and a house
