Break My Soul

(album: See Me - 2021)

I don't know what to say when I think about what I been through
It's been ups and downs like a carousel, yes, it's true
When it comes, yeah, it hurts, and all the pain's unrehearsed
I wanna put it all in reverse

I wish I didn't know, know, know
All the things you try not to show
But it's hard to keep a real woman down
We always bounce back, never rebound
Still hold my head with a smile, ooh

That's what happens when the love goes cold
And you feel like you gon' lose your soul
Get up and put your heels on, baby
It hurts, but, no, it ain't gon' break me
Oh no, you can't take my crown away
Ooh, you'll never break my soul

You thought you had me (had me, yeah)
Thought I would not survive all the lies, but the truth is
It's a blessing in disguise, I'm floating on Cloud 9
I moved on with my life, ooh

I wish I didn't know, yeah
All the things you try not to show
But it's hard to keep a real woman down
We always bounce back, never rebound
Still hold my head with a smile

That's what happens when the love goes cold
And you feel like you gon' lose your soul
Get up and put your heels on, baby
It hurts, but, no, it ain't gon' break me
Oh no, you can't take my crown away
(Talk to 'em, Mumu) you'll never break my soul

The Lord is my shepherd, so I shall not run
Gotta repeat it till I mean it, God, lift me up
Though He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
Don't think He meant for me to lie down with lying bastards
Who would rather see my soul captured and fractured
But you must not know 'bout me, I gets the last laughter
I never ran backwards, chasing after cancer
Managing this damage, no, I can't be your rafters
No more (thank God) thank You for resilience
Now, I ain't one in a million, I'm from a lineage of brilliance
Who taught me how to bounce back from scrimmages
And rise up like phoenixes from pillages
Boy, you creating a monster
So I'm back on my goals, every day I'm getting stronger
I'm a whole vibe, baby, even when I'm somber
Watch this glow-up from the beaches over yonder

That's what happens when the love goes cold
And you feel like you gon' lose your soul
Get up and put your heels on, baby
It hurts, but, no, it ain't gon' break me
Oh no, you can't take my crown away
Ooh, you'll never break my soul
My soul
