Remember My Name

You can walk on me, spit in my face, and put me down And I still won't frown I'm an intelligent african-american queen I don't have time for people Who waste their time disrespecting me Because I know who I am and I know where I'm going Not scared to look back And I'm always looking foward I refuse to be an overnight celebrity or a one-hit-wonder I'ma have an impact on the world LIke the sound of thunder You may think you're killing me softly But your words don't affect me I try not to notice you Because you're not on the same level as me Losing loved ones may hurt And you may have a struggle getiing through it But it's those struggles that make you stronger It's those struggles that make you a better person It's those struggles that made me who I am today Those struggles allows my voice to be heard It allows me to stand up for what I believe in For what I think is right for what I think is wrong So remember my name You may not hear it on the radio And you may not see it on t.v. But remmeber it because It might be you looking up to me
