I'm not just some arrogant doe-eyed novice I got skeletons in my closet I ain't interested in your wallet I need validation deposits My work ethic is made of iron Everybody wanna know where I got it Papa was an alien and mama still a shaman Who woulda knew 2+2= goddess or glamorous or priestess or magical girl? Either way you say it I'm still changin' the world Say it how you wanna! I'm still scared of myself But I don't need help! I'm doing fine! Just swell! It's Not your business... (Not just some)

Poppin' 02:38
My scars is popping' today Thin lines in the summertime come out to play Reminds me of times when I tussled with blades When I wrestled with shame Love affair with the pain I think I saw my soul today, but that's not what I came to say. The walls around my psyche compartmentalize my inner pain It's not my place to show my hurt and interrupt your day I know my place! I know my face should smile when you walk my way Don't talk to me! Nigga can't you see I got my headphones in for a fuckin' reason My mp3 keeps on repeatin' Pumped Up Kicks- Foster The People I don't really wanna shoot nobody. I don't even think I'm suicidal. I just wanna be out my body I just wanna look cute and Godly I just wanna impress my mommy; she spawned me and told me the father was watching So I better walk in my calling. Stepped out on a limb now I'm falling into the deepest and stillest of waters We all just sheep to the slaughter. I want that smoke, yeah, I want all them problems Can't see myself without 'em I bought a pack of razorblades I'm saving them for rainy days It feels like breathing feathers while submerged in liquid serenade I gave my skin the sin it craved, then locked my door to scream for days Am I still beautiful all bundled in this stupid cage? I guess I can't communicate what happened without feeling like I'm throwing up my wedding ring or throwing up my birthday cake And ya'll just can't relate... I'd rather my smile be fake.. Than have to showy all my pain.. My scars is popping' today Thin lines in the summertime come out to play Reminds me of times when I tussled with blades When I wrestled with shame Love affair with the pain My scars is popping' today Thin lines in the summertime come out to play Reminds me I've seen the other side of the game I can win if I play Take it day after day...

Kiss & Tell 02:46
Did I ever tell ya'll about that one time with that one guy? No, Not that one. No this is a different one! So I was feeling' really tired of actin' high and mighty I just wanted to catch a body And this cutie came in perfect timing He picked me up in his new Bugatti, and took my V-Card in the back right next to his carseat Wild! So crazy! And So Exciting! I risked my life to craft a storyline that looked enticing I was a character in my own movie rated-R What did it matter I was offering my should for tying? Over exposed. I'm overexposed! I'm overexposed! I can't see the lines dividing the road I wanna be loved; I feel like a ho And I know he know, so after we fuck I give him the cold shoulder If I keep my cards on the table face down he'll be begging me just to flip one over Worship me! Pine for me; die for me; give me world two times over Adoration; endless patience; that makes my risk much lower It would never be a man to put a ring on my hand. I don't trust the way they're socialized to see me as a kickstand Or the way they fetishize every singe way of life Just because a bitch is Bi, I gotta want a threesome, right? I don't like the way they rape us; shoot up schools and then degrade us How they swallow up emotions 'til they damn near overtake them I need softness! I need curves! I need sugar on my words! I need to see some kitties bouncing' when you gettin' on my nerves And I know that I hurt several fellas in the process I'm not completely heartless! At least I can acknowledge my part Now we're parted never to return. But I won't forget the things I learned Let's see... there was.. Manny Tyler Evan That Guy With The Nice Truck Kendall Slim World of Warcraft Guy The 1st threeesome The 2nd threesome Skater Guy Choir Boy And That Jamaican Guy in China Bussit to the 10th degree; don't know me from a hill of beans But when you slide into me I feel like I'm in charge of me! Tryna break the law and see if I can test authority Step outside the boxes drawn around me by society I'mma be the one to beat I'mma be the one to cheat This race doesn't end 'til you get pregnant or get STD I just thank the lord that he saw fit to keep protecting me While I tried to fuckaway what my big cousins did to me

Fairytale 04:54
This shit ain't no fairytale If you want me you want everything that entails I don't have the choice to fail Ya'll go get the bag and be sad, lookin' wack as hell So I'm apple pie in the sky I'm practicing for when I die 'cause it's all rebirth This shit ain't no fairytale If you want me you want everything that entails I gave you the coupon discount code; You got the new member sale Now you in my isles you driving' me wild; fuck me on the counter next to the Kale Now we gettin' tired of mopping' the tile and all of the produce is gettin' stale And all these promotions don't really help Now we putting' emotion back on the shelf And everything cold like a TV dinner Frozen peas over my splinters I'm just hither and you thither It's cool lil' daddy just drop me the addy I'll be in the parking lot when you get off Let's make like the cause and go and get lost Life for me ain't been no crystal stair I got splinters from the places where it's then up and it's bare People see me with my crystals and my gauges in my ears And they think all of my pink clothes mean I'm living with no fear? Shit... But I'm leaving with what I came here for, now watch sayin'? I'm leaving with what I cam here for.. (That's young boy) This shit ain't no fairytale If you want me you want everything that entails I don't have the choice to fail Ya'll go get the bag and be sad, lookin' wack as hell So I'm apple pie in the sky I'm practicing for when I die 'cause it's all rebirth Milk it for what it's worth This shit ain't no fairytale You pay for your numbers to swell. The whistles! The bells! But I never seen likes pay water or lights. You gotta convert the sales And ain't no glass slipper gone take you there Label drops happen over 90%. Think of that! That's batshit! Fuck a contract if I cannot keep my percent and say what I meant and I meant what I said! I am hip hop with these bows in my head I am the dream that my ancestors had Crisp like the crease in your granddaddy pants I am not special; My ego is dead Just like the Christ how he hung and he bled I'll sacrifice so that love with prevail I'll bring new life from my personal hell Life for me ain't been no crystal stair I got splinters from the places where it's then up and it's bare I'm still run-in' round in circles I'm just on a higher tier Gather 'round. children, and I will tell you a tale of origin, hardship, and triumph Yes, Yes, that's it! Pay very close attention, now. For the path of the Mahou Shoujo could also be yours. Long ago, but not so long as it seems A man made of stars met a woman of dreams They had many children, but it was the first born who would rise a a queen amongst the wheat and the corn She watched the clouds pass; she sat very still and heard God speak It strengthened her will Her childhood home was burned and reclaimed Her father left his body, leaving only his name Her mother stayed close, but the child flew free to step into the world and see what she could see! She witnessed the system strip her people of joy, and yet there was hope in the young girls and boys She saw magic happen in every transaction From chemical change to emotional reaction She knew loss and pain; she knew how to change She found prism in her body and glitter in her veins Her voice hit the air and the world stopped to stare at a vision of pink Her emotions laid bare she reached for the stars where her father had been, and began to Ascend Ascend Ascend!

I could die anytime and this all be over Terrified by existence, but I'm chillin' on it. Terrorized by the system 'cause I ain't conformin' Life is a stage I'm just tryna give a good performance! Life's hard and then you're gone And who know what's right or wrong? I didn't ask for this, but I'mma master this and move on Eeeny meeny miney mo Humans suck! We gotta go! Way too much confusion and pollution for the Earth to grow Who would've known that we'd get worse over time? In the scheme of things we've had this rock an blink of an eye An in the black of an eye a plane could fall from the sky and I could get some shrapnel in my eye! Isn't that wild? I'm a child go indigo I'm enlightened by my inner glow If you're tired of the same old same old then something's gotta go I'm sayin Gracias Danke Shon Arigato Xie Xie Merci Te amo These words can send such a sweet message If you didn't comprehend I'mma say it again! It go Gracias Danke Shon Arigato Xie Xie Merci Te amo Before it all ends I just wanna make friends Make my odds even and forgive my sin 'cause I could die anytime and this all be over Terrified by existence, but I'm chillin' on it. Terrorized by the system 'cause I ain't conformin' Life is a stage I'm just tryna give a good performance! Life's hard and then you're gone And who know what's right or wrong? I didn't ask for this, but I'mma master this and move on Inky Pinky Ponky Niggers, Japs and Honkys Can't forget the faggots right? Any excuse to divide! Step aside! Your brain is friend from pleasure pills and poison weed Body takin' beatings from like very single thing you eat Day, Night, Rain, Sleet Bigots never seem to sleep, but I'm not staying up all night to monitor the way you think All I wanna do is feel safe when I'm walking down the street You worried bout me? DEFUND THE POLICE! Gracias Danke Shon Arigato Xie Xie Merci Te amo Before it all ends I just wanna make friends Make my odds even and forgive my sin 'cause
