MRS. ASKEW 2 U

DEPRESSION AND ANGER STANDS AND KNOCKS AT MY DOOR
I KNOW WHAT THEY CAME HERE FOR
TO OVERWHELM ME WITH DARKNESS THAT CLOUDS MY MIND
TAKING TOTAL CONTROL OF MY BODY AND THE TIME
NO IM TAKIN BACK CONTROL OF MY LIFE
IM BLESSED TO HAVE IT TWICE
GOODBYE TO THE OLD ME HELLO TO MS. ASKEW
YES IM A MS NOT A MR OR MRS ALL WOMAN WITH A LIL SCREW LOOSE
DONT GET ME WRONG IM DOMINATE WHEN NEED BE
I EMBRACE MY FEMININITY OVER MASCULINITY BECAUSE IT DEFINES ME
WHY TRY TO COME UP WITH A SYNONYMS FOR FEMALES
NEVER WAS I A BITCH, WHORE, SLUT, TRICK, NAMES GIVEN TO US BY MALES
A PHENOMENAL WOMAN STANDIN 5'2 WITH CURVES IN THE RIGHT PLACE
OH YOU CANT SEE IT BY JUST LOOKING ITS NOT VISIBLE NO TRACE
A NICE MIND AND BODY TO GO WITH A BEAUTIFUL FACE
COULD YOU IMAGINE ME RUNNING IN THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL RACE
IN THE PAST I LET DIFFERENT DEMONS TALK AND WALK FOR ME
DIDNT HAVE A DEVELOPED BRAIN NO VOICE NO EYES TO SEE
WOKE UP FROM THAT DREAM GOT MY LIFE TOGETHER
STANDIN ON MY OWN TWO FEET
STRONGER THAN EVER
SOCIETY DEPICTS THE WAY PEOPLE SHOULD LIVE
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD GIVE
TO HAVE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM INSIDE
IMMA BE ME REGARDLESS
SOCIETY CAN WASH AWAY LIKE THE TIDE
LIKE MAYA ANGELOU WROTE IT, STILL I RISE
I RISE FROM ALL SITUATIONS NO MATTER HOW BIG IN SIZE
I RISE FROM NEGATIVE PEOPLE AND CULTURAL ASSIMILATION
I RISE FROM PEOPLE TELLING ME I WONT AMOUNT TO ANYTHING AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
WHO AM I? WELL IM MS. ASKEW TAKIN BACK CONTROL OF MY LIFE
BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO LIVE MY LIFE TWICE
