Skin In The Game

(album: Take Your Power Back - 2020)

Do do do...

Wide awake
And I know why it's taken me so long
To reclaim my power
The hurting made me strong
I've lost count how many times I have changed
There's an art to having skin in the game
Been afraid
Of running out of fucks to give
Lowest place
Considering where I have been
It's the simple truth that one day I will die
Or the courage it takes for a warrior to cry

It's like the song I was singing
Sitting on my bedroom floor
Or that familiar feeling like I've been here before

Well, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na na...

Do do do...

What I want
Will rarely meet at what I need
Nothin's wrong
With setting better boundaries
Like the softness you earn when you break your own bread
Or that playful heart that became your first defence

Well, I know yes I know, I sure as shit know I turned some kind of page
And I will, yes I will, learn to love the side of me that holds all the shame
When I gave myself permission to feel the pain
There's an art to having skin in the game

Well, there is something so sacred
Or perfect in placement, uh huh
Cause I am buzzing in beauty and feasting on honey alright

Well, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na na
Yeah, you can certainly shake me
But, no can break me, na na...

Do do do...
