God Placed You on the Top Shelf

God placed you on that top shelf 
for a reason
know your value doesn't shrink 
and you're not here to always be pleasing
don't ever water yourself down 
and don't ever dim your light
you're not here to make others comfortable
nor settle for less in life 

just because some are not willing 
to climb up to reach your star
just know the right people will always rise up 
to meet you where you are

God placed you on that top shelf 
because you're a child of the King
you're precious, you're royalty, you're an empress 
and yes, you are a queen 
for to be in your presence is a privilege 
and people need to understand 
that you function on a higher plane 
and on integrity you firmly stand 

God placed you on that top shelf 
because you move with finesse
you're one of one and not one of many
you're a cut above the rest
