lyrics

My eyes are wide this morning, but my heart is heavy still
There’s a sea inside me, storming ‘cause I’m battling with my will
Though I may grow tired and weary, and there’s ache within my bones
I will fight for what I believe in, even if I fight alone
I know that I’m gon’, keep on moving on
‘Cause nobody can stop me yeah

‘Cause I gathered my armour, and I’m ready for battle
I’ve got my weapons drawn, takin’ the road less traveled
And I’m ready to do this, and nobody can stop me
‘Cause I’m thoroughly convinced, this is my love and it runs deep

In my life, there have been many
Who have tried to break me down
But I know in my soul, oh, that I am upward bound
Doesn’t matter what they think of me, cause I know what I was born to be
I don’t do it ‘cause it’s trendy, I hold onto my integrity
Manifest my own reality, and soon all them haters will see
That nobody can stop me yeah

Cause I gathered my armour, and I’m ready for battle
I’ve got my weapons drawn, takin’ the road less traveled
And I’m ready to do this, and nobody can stop me
‘Cause I’m thoroughly convinced, this is my love and it runs deep

[Rap: Coco Peila]

Little nappy headed skinny ass black girl, back of the class
Didn’t try, I didn’t think I could pass
Didn’t fight ‘cause I had already lost more than my share of battles
Before I hit double digits many tried to break me, make me give in
Listen, not playing stupid so they don’t feel intimidated
Give up on my goals and dreams for theirs to be accommodated
Let them use my mind and body, making their shit look bossy
Not speak up and use my gifts cause they might call me “bitch” and “bossy”
Know in my soul what I’m down here for
Exactly what I love, what ma crowned me for
What I hold, they can’t touch, what I have, they can’t buy
Went toe to toe with doubt a couple of times, abandoned that lie
Yea I lost some battles but I’ll win the war
Haters stay underestimating; I’ll settle the score
Run deep like the blood in my veins, it gives me fever
Won’t stop 'til I’m running the game, now sang it Deva

[Hook: Deva Mahal]
And I I gathered my armour
And I'm ready for battle, I've got my weapons drawn
Taken the road less traveled, and I'm ready to do this
And nobody can stop me, cause I'm thoroughly convinced
This is my love and it runs deep
