Fly
my life was dull,boring and a choir.
From the state I was born I no longer adored
I was the girl who knew exactly what she wanted, with dreams fulfilled, her
happiness was still haunted.
Born from the parents of regal perception,
all through her life she maintained a honest connection
There was still something else that she long for,
her dreams,ambitions and goals,
she didn't long for any more
The wild side of her heart began to long for a new start, a new adventure
She constantly maintained her strength,looking for a sign to be sent to her
Filled with depression,sadness and anxiety-
forcing her to live life as a perfect society
She'll take the leap,go for the chance.lose control-
without a second glance
Back home Friends and family mocked her,told her she'd never succeed
She paid no attention,continued her desire...her internal need
Now This daddy's girl sets out in the big city
she's got too much pride to except any pity
she gets bumps and bruises along the way
but her stanched determination won't let her sway
She's been hustled,conned, and just made a fool of
never lost site that it was really the journey she love
At times broke,down and out and even no lights
under the sign of the bull,she wont give up the fight
I'll take on this city and it abuses she said
defeat is not an option,get that notion out of your head.
Think mom and dad will be proud of the life i lead
invisible war wounds of the city is what she'll bleed
Is there no one I can trust,lean on in this time of hour
Hell No,man up,show you have strength like fist of power
This story will end up good, not like others you've heard
for certain only my success will be the last word
I won't reveal the whole story, just know that I win
I betcha they wont forget me....but rather remember me till the end.
