One Thing

One thing I hate for my time to be wasted
That’s why I stopped devoting my time without payment
Cuz niggas seem to think you got time to be playing
Then you gotta show em you’re not to be played with
It’s people I should probably walk away from
History I take into consideration
But when it’s testing my patience... to a point where I could hardly take it
Do I sacrifice my peace to try and save it
Thoughts running rampant through my brain and I’m usually perspicacious
When I’m dishing out advice but never take it... that’s how it goes
This circle of life is making me dizzy
And I’m thinking I see clearly when I pour a cup of Henny, that’s tricky
How much can the mind take
Without brakes full speed on life’s highway
I told shorty fo’ she pulled up out the driveway
If you take me out, my kinda real’s an acquired taste
I love hard, but get scared when I’m loved hard
Too much attention and that’s when I’m throwing up guards
Maybe it’s because we all granted one heart
The one who ripped up mine left me just scarred, just a thought
I’m always up front with who I be meeting
Don’t think it gets any realer than how I’ma keep it
You can choose to love it, but if you decide to leave it
I’ll just wish you well in what it is in life you’re seeking (And mean it)

Spread your wings baby. That's the only way to fly
I ain't gon hold you back, never that

One thing I love is peace of mind
Keeping good vibes and have peaceful times
Every time I look at a clock and see the time
It be reminding me how it could never ever be rewinded
I told myself that I would always make the best of it
Cherish it and never think less of it
I am such a blessed woman, I know that the best coming
I know with every challenge, I’m just prepping myself for it
Promise not to dwell on it, I’m looking forward to that there moment where I tell Poon
I found success because I kept going
Kept pouring into him, I will be there for him
Kept sowing seeds to make sure that he kept growing
If he came to me unsure, then he left knowing
Saw him try his hardest, next option was to just show him... thoughts
How many obstacles I’ve stepped over
Ironically equals the hearts that I done let go of
The song says that at your best you are loved
But until you love self that’ll never be enough
I spent some time reflecting on how I’ve often settled
Subconsciously not feeling that I had deserved better
Lost a couple good ones all because my nerves set up
To not believe in anything that these girls tell ya
And I would find any excuse to make it true
It was always me and never you

I ain't perfect. But until I learn the value of myself
I could never know what your worth is
You know you're worth it
