Come Back

[00:11.10] I started looking in the mirror, faced my own demons
[00:13.99] Had every right to be mad, I had my own reasons
[00:16.32] But to take it out on family was a bad feelin'
[00:19.43] I just wanna pay back my mob with what I was gifted
[00:21.58] I just wanna be a good mummy, build my babies a home
[00:24.36] Put a crown on my mama and I'll build her a throne
[00:26.75] Nah you can't talk about my past cause them days dead and gone
[00:29.61] And if you go and bring it up you must have hate in your soul
[00:32.09] And that's real
[00:33.03] I just wanna bring it back for me a minute
[00:35.38] And thank my sister and my mama for my children
[00:38.26] Cause I was trapped in addiction and in prison
[00:40.33] But they gave me the tools so I could live a little different
[00:43.22] Thank my matriarchy! And thank my babies for me!
[00:45.52] I must be a good woman if I birthed them seeds
[00:47.10] And to be a better a woman I must follow my dreams
[00:51.07] And give back to everybody who done gave to me
[00:53.45] It's a full circle, what goes around comes around
[00:56.04] Yeah I was lost at the start but my soul got found
[00:58.91] And I just wanna be here and make my whole family proud
[01:01.46] Do everything in my power to make them all smile now
[01:05.10] We're black and strong and powerful
[01:10.39] Melanin shine beautiful
[01:15.57] Resilient we made it this far
[01:18.99] We done made it through the dark
[01:22.35] You're looking at the real monarch
[01:27.08] La! Yeah, I'm believing it,
[01:28.62] And I'ma do better, good karma yes I'm receiving it
[01:31.26] Made it all real cause I was sick and tired of dreaming it
[01:34.07] And this life here is a gift, I'm gonna keep on succeeding it
[01:36.41] I had to get it out the mud and make it better
[01:39.06] Grab my babies by the hands and we gon do this together
[01:41.16] Got these tears my eyes while I write 'em love letters
[01:44.03] And I'm know I'm not perfect but I'm never gonna give up
[01:46.99] I got to plant them seeds and tell the truth how it is
[01:49.55] I got to stand up strong and be a mum to my kids
[01:52.20] I got to come back strong and go and face them fears
[01:54.72] Cause I was sick of tired of hating on myself all them years
[01:57.34] I am powerful, and I don't even know the half of it
[02:00.48] But I'm whole within my being and I am no longer masking it
[02:03.06] Every time I fall now I look up at the stars
[02:05.64] Cause dreams are for real, I'll never lose that spark
[02:08.84] We're black and strong and powerful
[02:14.09] Melanin shine beautiful
[02:20.06] Resilient we made it this far
[02:22.65] We done made it through the dark
[02:25.48] You're looking at the real monarch
[02:34.32] You're looking at the real monarch
[02:40.01]
