When I was younger, wanted to be the black Madonna on stage
Millions of people screaming my name
But now I'm older I can do anything I wanna
Weave laid, getting paid, slay in my lane

I had a dream, I had a dream but I stay woke
There's only one me, only one me, I'm so special
If you're offended, I'll pretend that I'm sorry
But can you let me tell my side of the story?
Everyone would tell me I couldn't go the distance
Chocolate skin, you don't fit in, you're a statistic
Now every time I be on stage, they go ballistic
Thought you said I was gonna fall, I must've missed it
'Cause I started

Started so I ain't gonna stop
Reach the ceiling then I elevate
Flying all the way to the top
When they say I can't do it
See I do this shit with no hands
When they ask, I show and prove it
Every time I show that I can, I can, I can
Remember when

When I was younger, wanted to be the black Madonna on stage
Millions of people screaming my name
But now I'm older I can do anything I wanna
Weave laid, getting paid, slay in my lane

Back in the past some people said I wasn't gonna
Throwing shade, look at me now, I'm living great
'Cause nothing can stop me, I can do anything I wanna
I'ma stay 'cause I slay, slay in my lane
