Everybody tried to tell me don't do that
Keep it for yourself don't give it to that man
I gave it all away I'm trying to get it back

My Power

Filling up my shelf with every self-help book
Listening to a lecture telling me I'm good
I know you didn't mean it, but I think you took

My Power

Looking back on the whole thing
It felt like a bad dream
Curled up into a ball y'all
It took all

My Power

Everybody telling me that I'm a mess
Got to find a place where I can be myself
Meditate and elevate and reaccess

My Power

Coming into my own now
I don't feel so alone now now now
Coming back from a fall y'all
It takes all

My Power

Oh, they told me
You let him have way too much
And they told me
Get it back, get your stuff
And they told me
Go on, stand up!
And they told me
Go ahead, take it back
Take it back!

My Power
