[Verse]
As a Black girl in the system, I was taught to hate myself
Raised in a black home, if you talk back, they grab the belt
I was jumping house from house, you don't know how that made me felt
Two years later grabbed the knife, I was ready to kill myself
You don't know shit about my life, stop saying that you care
Where was you at when he was touching me? None of y'all was there
Where was you at when my mother died? None of y'all was there
I used to have this spark in me, you see they took that glow in me
Want me to tell you 'bout my life without you even knowing me?
I'm facing this world on my own, I ain't afraid to be alone
Mama died when I was twelve, ever since then I had to be grown
Ain't no happy ending, ain't no happiness for me
Told my uncle I want to rap, he told me that was just a dream
And dreams don't come true for Black girls that look like me
So, therapist, please tell me, what do you see when you look at me?
Do you see a future or do you see a curse?
I've been trying my best, I always seem to do my worst
My family don't love me, my brother won't even hug me
My sister been acting funny, it's like ain't nobody for me
It's like the world is out to get me, it's like the world is out to get me
As a Black girl in the system, I was taught to hate myself
Raised in a black home, if you talk back, they grab the belt
I was jumping house from house, you don't know how that made me felt
Two years later grabbed the knife, I was ready to kill myself
You don't know shit about my life, stop saying that you care
Where was you at when he was touching me? None of y'all was there
Where was you at when my mother died? None of y'all was there
I used to have this spark in me, you see they took that glow in me
Want me to tell you 'bout my life without you even knowing me?
I'm facing this world on my own, I ain't afraid to be alone
Mama died when I was twelve, ever since then I had to be grown
Ain't no happy ending, ain't no happiness for me
Told my uncle I want to rap, he told me that was just a dream
And dreams don't come true for Black girls that look like me
So, therapist, please tell me, what do you see when you look at me?
Do you see a future or do you see a curse?
I've been trying my best, I always seem to do my worst
My family don't love me, my brother won't even hug me
My sister been acting funny, it's like ain't nobody for me
It's like the world is out to get me, it's like the world is out to get me
