Rise Above Them Flames

RISE ABOVE THEM FLAMES

They think they beat me,

The REAL me, they’ll never see me.

I keep it behind closed doors.

They use to call me a whore as they threw my clothes on the floor.

Ya’ll don’t know me like that anymore.

Now I’M a queen

I’m taking back my power.

Now it’s just me alone in the shower.

Lovin on me, loving the woman I grew to be

It took hurt, PAIN, shame…

Now I’m a beast to say the least.

I took a lesson from ya’ll men.

Locked up my heart.

You’ll never see it again.

But I love the me that I grew to be.

Don’t need your fake generosity,

Your lies, your broken ties, sad goodbyes.

Don’t want ya’ll to see me cry.

So I’m locking up my heart, say goodbye.

It took hurt, pain, shame…

You lost me years ago

I use to love when you called me your hoe.

I don’t identify as that anymo.

Now you must kiss my feet

Every time I walk through the door.

The hurt, the pain, the shame…

RISE ABOVE THEM FLAMES
