I wanna hear you snap

and I'll react

Wordplay 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

and I’m fresh outta take-backs

No stranger to the cold

So I don't take shit personal

You gotta feed your mind daily

To quench a starving soul

Let go of your need 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 harsh memories

Hard times that never leave me

Let them lift me up and lead me

Instead of lying down, beaten 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

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 apart my fetters

Collected up my clipped wing feathers

Writing 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, please shed your pursuit of distractions

Stop adding to this shit pile

Start thinking in subtractions

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

Build that fire in your belly and let it cause a chain reaction
