Ready to Fly

Suicidal

It hurts because no matter how passionate, I wasn’t good enough

Miss educated

Because my love was deeper than what I was taught

I love books... Just not the books you wanted me to read

And I love to learn.. just not the things you were willing to teach

You told me I wouldn’t be anything special

You didn’t believe I would make it this far

How does it feel to see me make it to heaven when you told me I couldn’t even reach the stars?

I’m freaking awesome aint I

With no help from you and I’m proud

Because when I needed you

You weren’t down

But now my name is engraved in the clouds

And you wanna come around

 

Needless to say when you’re ready to fly nothing can stop you

That anger made me go harder

That pain made me invincible

The fact that you doubted me showed me what I’m made of

This passion inside me gave me faith in real love

Real love was in the music I’d listen to It calmed me down

I believed in myself even when you cut off my crown

My father told me I should bring down my expectations

He said I was aiming to high with arrogance

I told him I refuse to spend my life being the ground work for someone else focus

Always had dreams of my own

He told me I won’t be working for myself under his roof and on the street I belonged

I’m the type of petty that will tag my dad in my graduation picture like Heyyyyy I made it, remember when you didn’t believe in me?

 

Than drop an album about my ex and what he did to me Like “you said you was gonna do it better than me... IM STLL WAITING ? “

 

heck I’d even go as far to drop it on the day I left HIM like I feel bad for you son, you got 99 dreams and still aint REACH one !!

 

I’m freaking awesome in everything I am and everything I’ll become

I don’t need your validation to know this battle is won.

I never needed anyone to hold my hand but God

And the spirit of suicide, self-destruction, and confusion is gone

I came out on top

Just like I dreamed I would

And I DID IT WITHOUT YOU JUST LIKE I SAID I WOULD …
