That's Real Shit

You don't know a damn thing about the weight I carry

How I wake up every morning in this skin that's scary

You don't know the way I fought to get to barely standing

You just see me upright and you call that overreaching

You don't know the nights I hated everything inside me

Louder than your judgment was the voices I had to quiet

I condemned myself before you ever got the chance to

I was my own courtroom, my own cross, my own damn gallows

So thank you very much

For thinking that you know

What the fuck breaks me and

what the fuck built me

What I reap and what I sow

I got my peace with God

Before I had it with the ground

And I'll stand before my Maker

With no guilt and no apology now

THATS REAL SHIT

You see a woman you can't move and call her broken

See a woman you can't buy and call her token

See a woman who loves pure and call her stupid

Only heartless ones with money ever make it through it

I don't want your false hope, I don't want your borrowed worth

I want something real and I know that's rare on earth

They'll always paint me villain when they cannot make me bend

But I know exactly who I am and where this ends

So thank you very much

For thinking that you know

What the fuck breaks me and

what the fuck built me

What I reap and what I sow

I got my peace with God

Before I had it with the ground

And I'll stand before my Maker

With no guilt and no apology now

THATS REAL SHIT

All my worth comes from one place

Been that way since day one

You can't take what God gave me

You never even touched the sun

I see every lie in every move you make

I always have

The only thing that kept me quiet

Was me trying to be glad

I don't need your world to see me

I don't need your world at all

I just need to love what's real

Even if there's none of that left to call
