Think Pink!
That's what I said
It's Pink!
It's a shade of red
I know a color so bright
It gives me chills to hear tonight
It's the color between red and purple
I smile in the mirror,
I see something wrong.
I have pimples,
My hair is damaged,
My mouth is too long.
I say to myself:
You're ugly,
You're not loved.
But I heard much different,
When I was young, my mother told me,
"Yvette, you can be anything you want to be."
So I started plotting, and planning, and trying to predict what I wantedliev
But in all honesty I felt haunted!
Fresh food, hot food, cold food,
They are all so appetizing,
Meals are food for the human body,
But too much food will make you vomit,
Knowledge is your mind's food,
And knowledge is power,
When I was born, I stood on the shotgun seat.
Danger was a challenge best met naïve.
My dad told me, “Sit down or you’ll get hurt.”
Stick to head
The rhythm of aggression
Left to right
Consciousness in suspension
Things go wrong
Take it all out on the pad
Flam tap tap
You drive all the neighbors mad
