How was i stopped
I thought I was unstoppable until i found myself being stopped
I wasn’t sure which way to go I only knew I wanted to do what’s right
I never really knew how to do it but I knew how to not do it
I fell into a place where I wasn’t treated right and I lost my sense of control
I knew I had to make things right
I hung onto everything I could as I clung to the future tight
I noticed I poured my all into this but I also noticed I had been stopped
How could I have stopped ?
I’m the one who’s to turn this generation around I just didn’t need to be stopped .
I found myself feeling stuck but only I could keep myself from being stopped
I was the only one who could let myself be stopped , how could I have let myself be stopped ?
Now I look at the woman who’s almost 25.
I remember being so lost but then I see this new woman
The woman who could never be stopped
The woman who knows a different philosophy of life
This woman would continue to pour into those around
This woman would inspire the ones who’s paid attention to her
This woman would raise children who would grow to be even better
I was a child born into disaster yet born to be greater
I’ll breath life into the ones around me so they could never be stopped
Ill show them all the ways to be unstoppable in a world where they’ll try to stop you
I’ll show them how i became unstoppable when I was stopped.
The thing about being born into disaster is the rising it comes with
I look into the mirror again and I tell her
Your finally the woman you needed
Your the mother they need
Your the woman the world needs ??
