I get a call from my mom before sun up Telling me I need to go ahead and get my son up Cause I overslept but I had a rough night Give me twenty plus meet me at the third light On the right near the pike where the turn is a table She tryna help her baby live a life more stable That was quite a while ago when I didn't know How ima make it through the world without letting go Or losing focus of the task at hand Cause my agenda meant that I would have a mic in hand Hot damn recline cause ima take you back To a time when all I cared about was rap It happen just like that I used to write in my sleep A pen and pad was always in the bed with me Impressed I was Empress I did see When I saw the woman in the mirror staring at me It all started on a Thursday Unh huh Four fifty nine when I decided That it's time to come out into the world to see How to manifest life from a Born degree It all started on a Thursday Unh huh Four fifty nine when I decided That it's time to come out into the world to see How to manifest life from a Born degree Now that don't mean that I ain't meet with struggle My village strong but most of it just came from my mother Truth be told don't know where I'd be if I didn't have M A R G I E All the while she battling her own in silence Thinking bout the generations that was plagued with violence Hold this cup fill it up Ten fold she so modest but in her I trust So it's her I must not interrupt When she giving out her lesson bout such and such And all that I know is that she got me So I don't hesitate whenever she is in need The day that I was born she gave birth For the second time around she bringing life to earth So without being too complica What I'm really tryna say is that it's her birth day It all started on a Thursday Unh huh Four fifty nine when I decided That it's time to come out into the world to see How to manifest life in a Born degree It all started on a Thursday Unh huh Four fifty nine when I decided That it's time to come out into the world to see How to manifest life in a Born degree It all started on a Thursday Unh huh Four fifty nine when I decided That it's time to come out into the world to see How to manifest life in a Born degree It all started on a Thursday Unh huh Four fifty nine when I decided That it's time to come out into the world to see How to manifest life in a Born degree

An artist's duty as far as I'm concerned is to reflect the times I think that is true of painters sculptors poets musicians I as far as I'm concerned it's their choice But I choose to reflect the times and the situations in which I find myself That to me is my duty Okay let's start from when I was five The year my life changed and I was left traumatized Or maybe skip to when I was nine Third grade Kesha finna race them boys outside Teacher all concerned what's that on your face I'm like I don't know can I go outside and race Didn't wanna tell her yeah those are hickeys All over my cheeks so I lied rather quickly Didn't wanna tell her I can hear your moans As you suck harder I smell beer and all the drugs you on Didn't wanna tell her you threw me on the bed Pinned me down till I kneed you in between the legs Scratches on your face that was the last time Your nasty ass mouth ever came close to mine Fuck is wrong with y'all Act like it's okay Watch as he would do this to me every single day You have no right You have no right Who told you that it was okay to touch me I gave you permission I never consented to this No I did not It's not okay It's not okay You supposed to be the man of the house Got me suited and booted up ready to fight Talk about I'm sick shit I felt just fine Fed up seeing moms with another black eye So to get to her you going through me And to this day I still got a knot on my knee Probably should forgive and just move on In a minute but first I'ma finish this song How your head high but we in the dark And if the water work shit it don't get hot How you give us cheese puffs we asked for Mickey D's Yet another night going to bed hungry How you run up on that man for slapping your sister Begging her to leave but who are you to convince her What goes around comes Yeah okay I enjoyed it Using your toothbrush to clean that nasty ass toilet You don't get to win You don't get to win You are messing with the wrong women You don't get to win Not over here Not over here We are strong We will fight You don't get to win over here Not this time Only a woman knows when she's had enough We praise the day she packed your shit up Took some time but she pulled it together Three of us knew we could make it whatever Never am I ashamed of where I came from Amazing beautiful butterfly I have become You can't name one thing I ain't done I'm my ancestor in the flesh son And that heifer ain't playing no games You seeing one but we in line man Side by side man I know they came from the coast of Sierra Leone Ready to kill the curse from generations So I stand tall and remain patient Waiting for the cue like I'm pledging allegiance Long kissing goodnight to all of you demons Look at me You know, like, look at me Nah Nah You didn't win at all You know So now I mean I feel great I feel so great And you know you know you know that I was worried about How other people would perceive the song and you know And now I'm okay with it you know Because regardless of how they feel about it One thing they can't say is I lied You know And everything is truth Everything And it's my truth
