Used to be the shy kid
Sitting in the corner thought I wasn't listening
Just an avid learner
But I told you once
Then I told you twice
My life was destined from the start
My momma saw my worth way back when
Had sickle cell since the age zero
Had a doctor try to end my life but momma's my hero
Told the doc that I'm a keeper
Get away from me you reaper
Had to fight to get to where I was
Had to fight to understand that life's a gift from above
And all the nonsense I endured
Gave me the strength to be absurd in how I live my life
I got the last laugh
Look who's laughing now
Look who's laughing now
Look who's laughing now
Look who's laughing now
Look who's laughing now
Look who's laughing now
Look who's laughing now
Beat switched
Hoodwinked
Didn't see it coming
Now you're tryna sue me
Tryna cancel culture me to say a new thing
Nah
I say it proudly
I refuse thee
I refuse the hands that wanna kill and harm me
I abort the plans birthed from my enemies
I understand we share a different reality
But that don't mean we can't share a cup of coffee
Used to be the shy kid
Sitting in the corner thought I wasn't listening
Just an avid learner
But I told you once
Then I told you twice
My life was destined from the start
My momma saw my worth way back when
Had sickle cell since the age zero
Had a doctor try to end my life but momma's my hero
Told the doc that I'm a keeper
Get away from me you reaper
She told me life was never guaranteed
You can die from stray bullets or a disease
She told me every single life is like a quick breeze
So having you was like a blessed opportunity
