I will not apologize for who I am

If you . are jealous of me,
that's on you.
I will not apologize 
for who I am.
You see,
you don't understand.
My God
made me this way,
wondrous in spirit,
bold in speech,
destined for success.
That's why I say,
if you are jealous of me,
that's on you.
I will not apologize 
for who I am.
You see,
you don't understand.
My God
created me this way,
beautiful inside and out,
and though my beauty
is defined,
it doesn't define me.
I am not self- righteous.
I am self- confident.
That's why I say,
 if you are jealous of me,
that's on you.
I will not apologize 
for who I am.
You see,
you don't understand.
My God
created me this way,
to be successful,
to have Faith in myself,
to understand my destiny.
That's why I say,
if you are jealous of me,
that's on you.
I will not apologize 
for who I am.
