Unbreakable

I can feel you despise me

Lion and demonize me

Need me to be the proxy by which all of your dreams

Could ever come true

You want to flourish

But you ain’t got the courage

You say you push me and play me to save me

But baby it’s all for you

And I am so tired

Of giving you my all

And I’m praying for a fire

To burn it all down or make me unbreakable

You’re not a monster

Just a weak one who wants to

Climb the ladder and play the fame game

And write your name among the stars

I’m not your gate-keeper

You’re just a late sleeper

You play the rooster seducer, I’m your ego booster

Crowned losers, this kingdom of ours

And I am so weary

Of carrying the weight of your world

And you don’t even hear me

My momma said “Girl,

Don’t you give a swine a pearl.”

And I am so tired

Of giving you my all

And I’m praying for a fire

To burn it all down or make me unbreakable
