What Love Are You Able
Insecurities..little did I know, they're the window to possibility
Holding back, holding heart..tell me why you have to crash and burn babe
The fire doesnt have to be your hurt, or shame. (Babe)
I take space.. try to keep my head up with a certain grace.
Hearts on sleeves, broken dreams and empty prophecies..
Time shows what patience cannot
I am better... they dont know what I got.
I keep it quiet
Battling on the inside, quite.. the.. r-iot
I keep true
I give my best but y'all never do !
authority, monogamy, this whole monopoly.
See no ones ever stuck around... is it me ..who's never been around.
See I see things, I know things.
I keep it quiet
Please dont run, just know that I am right.
And that's this burden I bare...
The knowledge of things that others dont dare.
High priestess, a seamstress.. to this creation of mine I call my magic
Tryna be this boss ass bad
I've been burned baby try a lot harder
Intelligence is key, that's a good starter.
I wont settle for no low life
You can settle for my wild joy ride.
Princess on the streets, your little freak in the sheets
Gotta earn me.. gotta yearn me
I cant bend down for no man no more.
Been there.. done that. Before.
What do you bring to my table?
What capacity of love are you able?
I see your essence before I see you.. the question is..do you see me too?
