I'M Better

You may look at me ready to talk as i walk past you down the street Your eyes may be looking at me with envy but I'm better You ca n shatter my heart into a thousands pieces but because I'm better I'll just pick up the pieces and laugh at it all You can hurt my deep chocolate skin with words that are hurtful to one's heart but I know I'm better so I'll just get over it and shake it off Should I cry when you hit me? Shall I get angry when you call me names? Yes, no maybe? I don't know You do this because you're jealous, you do this to make me mad But it's one thing I should let you know and that is I'm better and I never get mad
