React

Don't make me snap

Cause I'll react

Quick with a comeback

Wordplay stay witty

I've been talking pretty since flashback


Nowadays I'm still that

Girl with a backpack

Full of notebooks and snack packs

Pocket full of shit talk

Fresh outta take-backs


I'm no stranger to the cold

So I don't take shit personal

You need to feed your mind daily

Try to quench your starving soul

Relinquish control

Delve more deeply into discipline

Focus on finding balance

Instead of drowning in restrictions


My mission starts with sound intentions,

Big dreams to change the world

Some insist I got a heart of gold

Truly, just an ordinary girl

With stellar goals and strong memories

Those hard times will never leave me

So I let it lift me up and lead me

Instead of being beaten down and bleeding


They told me to stop dreaming

But the clouds are where I stay gleaming

Reflected where I once projected

Meditated where I once medicated

Combatting bad habits

Of giving in and feeding

Into whatever global media's been streaming


Call me a hot head

For decades I've been steaming

Into this tea kettle flow

You can hear now that I'm screaming

But go ahead,

Drink me up and feel better

I've heard I'm best served in cold weather

Sultry soul and warm whispers

Since the day I can remember

How it felt when I finally broke away from my fetters

Collected up my clipped wing feathers

To write these self-addressed love letters


I don't come easy cause I don't fake it

Don't give a fuck if I make it

As long as I make a difference

You see, this community is the consequence

Of our words and actions

So I'm asking you to please shed your pursuit of distractions

Stop adding to the shit pile and start thinking in subtractions

The truth is hard to stomach, so swallow it down in fractions

Then build up that fire in your belly to let it cause a chain reaction
