[Verse 1: Barkaa]
I started looking in the mirror, face my own demons
Had every right to be mad, I had my own reasons
But to take it out on family was a bad feelin'
I just wanna pay back my mob with what I was gifted
I just wanna be a good mummy, build my babies a home (Uh-huh)
Put a crown on my mumma and I build her a throne (Yessir)
You can't talk about my past 'cause them days dead and gone
If you go and bring it up, you must have hate in your soul (True)
And that's real, I just wanna bring it back for a minute (One sec)
And thank my sister and my mumma for my children (Uh-huh)
'Cause I was trapped in addiction and imprisoned
But they gave me the tools so I could live a little different
Thank my matriarchy, and thank my babies for me
I must be a good woman if I birthed them seeds (Yeah)
And to be a better woman I must follow my dreams
And give back to everybody who done gave to me
It's a full circle, what goes around comes around
Yeah, I was lost at the start, but my soul got found (Uh-huh)
And I just wanna be here and make my whole family proud
Do everything in my power to make them all smile now, hah
[Chorus: Mi-kaisha, Barkaa]
Blak is strong and powerful
Melanin shine beautiful
[?] yeah, we made it this far (Hey, hey)
We done made it through the dark (Hey, hey)
You lookin' at the real monarch
[Verse 2: Barkaa]
La, yeah, I'm believin' it
And I'ma do better, good karma, yes, I'm receivin' it (Uh-huh)
Made it all real 'cause I was sick and tired of dreamin' it (Uh-huh)
And this life here's a gift, I'm gonna keep on succeedin' it
I had to get it out the mud and make it better (Yeah)
Grab my babies by the hands and we gon' do this together (Mm-hmm)
Got these tears in my eyes while I write 'em love letters
And I know I'm not perfect, but I'm never gon' give up (Grr)
I gotta plant them seeds and tell the truth how it is (Yup)
I gotta stand up strong and be a mum to my kids
I gotta come back strong and go and face them fears
'Cause I was sick and tired of hatin' on myself all them years
I am powerful and I don't even know the half of it
But I'm whole within my being and I am no longer maskin' it
Every time I fall I now look at the stars
'Cause dreams are for real, I'll never lose that spark, hah
[Chorus: Mi-kaisha, Barkaa]
