bad ass

 
this is a Raven beat
can't hold me down
rape my words or pervert my thoughts

knock me on my butt
i'll come back swinging
this is a full blown premonition
my ideas will come to fruition
in this institution

writing high I thought I was bad ass
now my words talk back to me
shouting it's time you learn the truth of life girl

so I rise to the stars
pluck one from the sky
it has my name on it

time to raise the stakes of your game
come hard or not at all
soul soldier be about the journey yo

bend the will of the verse you sling
make it sing for you woman
this is your day to shine
act like you're alive

manna from heaven you've been hoarding
time to share what you've been knowing
for you are chosen lady
