What I wanna do

You ask me what I wanna do 

I’m say make it out the hood

Make all my dreams come true 

Have all my children in one household 

Have a man who loves me 

Love me for me 

Someone who wanna build with me 

Be glad to come home to & wake up to me 

I wanna cater to my man 

Show my daughters how a household should be run 

I want to break the chains

I will break the chains 

I will build the family I always wanted 

Idc how long it takes 

I will make a come back for my children 

A lot of people have gave up on me 

A lot of people stop believing in me 

I was lying & pretending to be okay 

They didn’t understand my challenges

I overcame a lot 

& yet still have a long way to go 

I beat a lot of stuff on my own 

I dare not speak 

I don’t want no sympathy

I don’t want no gory 

I don’t want no no fame  

Even when I don’t love myself 

I want a partner 

I want something real 

Not something or someone prefect 

I want somebody that’s wroth it 

Someone that real & down to earth 

Someone to not scared to have those difficult conversations 

Someone who not afraid of they past 

Or someone who can’t let go of their past

Ask me what I wanna do 

& I’m say I wanna be true to myself & those around me 

I can’t lie I can’t hide 

All I can do is be me 

& that’s many shades Iam

I can’t be sweet 

Someone who has never spoken a word 

Then I can be sour someone you should have never cross 

But on both sides I straight up to the end
