Black Sheep .......(Happy To Be)

From the beginning...

They called me...Black Sheep
because they stained my flesh
with the secrets....they wanted to keep

See...I was just a kid...
and they were evil old men
running around with there fake smiles
and MY innocence on the tips of there dicks
when I was supposed to be kin...

Black Sheep they called me...
because they could not make me cry
even though I held it inside
felt like I wanted to die
Yet I ....still found a way to rise  
and  they would always test me...
time and time again... see

"A girl child just aint safe
in a foster family full of men"
As my cup spilled over from the
spiritual liquor
of grown men's sins

Black Sheep they called me...
because I stood up and defended myself...

I had to runaway to save what was left
of my physical and mental health!

There was no royal prince to save me
NO one gave a damn...
so...if a Black Sheep is what they called me
Then A black Sheep is what I am!
and I'm....
Happy to be
Because Im still here...
I survived...after all the world tried
to take...I would'nt brake....I'm here
I am alive...
I don't care about the world's opinion of
the person  that I am...
because I've come a long long way...
from a place not everyone can understand...

Yet I have the ability to demand
my place on this rock
and be heard
See Im Happy  To Be ...
a Black Sheep... and I
mean every word!
Cause I wouldnt allow myself
to loose my self worth
You wanna label me ...
title me with what you THINK is a curse
Black Sheep...dammit..
that's one  name I'm proud to keep
cause I get to be...the original me

As I walk across the stage of life
with a double Masters Degree...
One from Howard University...
and one from the School Of Hard Knocks...PHD

So with that being said know that I'm free
and motivated highly...to succeed
though early on they tried to trample
my seeds...
But...
I'm a new breed...
I fucked up the enemies plans
like holes in Swiss Cheese

Like a gladiator...I knocked
them to there knees...
I learned how to be a warrior
for others...and for me.
I shine with the light
of self realization and advocacy
.....yeah and so you think your titles
ever bothered me...
Just Know... I am happy to be
A Black Sheep.
