[00:44.16]Little black girl run her mouth
[00:45.30]Little black girl don't know where to go
[00:46.76]'Cause she like to clown and the teachers stay kickin' her out
[00:49.24]Insecure, but she won't say it out loud
[00:50.99]All she wanna do is make her mama proud
[00:52.80]She wanna be like them other girls, they in another world
[00:55.17]She just can't figure them out
[00:56.42]Round face, thick thighs
[00:58.33]Full waist, bright eyes, she
[01:00.44]Wonders if they'll judge her for her size, she
[01:03.05]Doesn't compromise, she's
[01:04.96]Seen this world before, this child is wise
[01:07.60]Never busy
[01:08.06]But her mind is occupied, she used to dream of high rises
[01:11.06]But life is
[01:12.95]Full of surpises
[01:14.41]Talent comes in second place to perfect timin'
[01:17.08]Used to swear that I was ready, but back then I wasn't rhymin'
[01:20.56]Funny, hunger came from stayin' in my dorm and eatin' Ramen
[01:24.24]College had me stressin'
[01:25.39]College had me stressin'
[01:27.25]So Father grant me blessings
[01:29.01]Path I'm on is lonely so, right now just help me feel yo presence
[01:32.31]Gimme royal bars with the humility of mortal peasants
[01:35.88]Pray that every L just stand for lesson
[01:38.42]Call me Lauryn as I stand on this hill
[01:40.80]I begin to survey the field
[01:42.54]I wondered, just how far I'd get without a deal, 'cause
[01:45.38]Anything I say is real and any line I spit is facts
[01:48.85]And any dream I have is valid, so I'm never goin' back, bitch
[01:52.93](Listen to that voice inside)
[01:56.24](That is where the choice resides)
[01:59.66]You write the future, you know where it lies
[02:00.78]I preceed judgment as anger's disguise
[02:02.32]Taking a risk will always yield a prize
[02:04.17]People will tell us to follow our heart and then look at us crazy when we live our lives
[02:08.03]My mom, this one's for dad
[02:09.28]All of the supporters that I ever had
[02:11.00]This for the principal at my highschool who said I would be nothin', well look where I'm at
[02:14.51]Won't stop till I ain't got to look at the tag
[02:16.19]Till' we go out to eat and I pick up the tab
[02:18.04]Took a leap on my dream now it's all I can see
[02:19.80]I'm enjoyin' the scene and I'm not lookin' back, bitch
