Jahmi Roc - I Am

I am
I'm not the next I am
I am not my ancestor them
I am
I am now, I was past
I am and will be make it last
I am

"I need you" was the text that scared him
Unaware of my inner burdens
That's when this fear started to worsen
The table I was turning
I chose romance of longitudes
Reverted to loving niggas with attitude
But I called abuse this attribute
Did not know yet how to protect my youth
Cause parents took out unresolved
Traumas family drama caused
Pressed repeat on trigger speech
So I did not know how to love me

Tired scenes shame and strife
Fool me once, I block you twice
Almost lost my whole soul
He was outta control
In pain no more
I had to let him go
Tired scenes shame and strife
Fool me once, I block you twice
Almost lost my whole soul
He was out of control
In pain no more
I had to let him

Let him go
Let him go
Seize your victory girl
Let him go
Let him go
Let him go
Seize your victory girl
Let him go

I am
I am
I am
I am

Respecting you and me enough
People pleasing ain't the one
Bending over backwards done
Hurricane winds takers won
Respecting me and you enough
Stop the fear of rejection
I'm a queen who needs no pawn
Don't seek to control anyone
Boundaries have a lethal sun
Ain't gotta tell me I won
Shine bright got my inner light
Won't accept manipulation nor fights

Tired scenes shame and strife
Fool me once, I block you twice
Almost lost my whole soul
He was outta control
In pain no more
I had to let him go
Tired scenes shame and strife
Fool me once, I block you twice
Almost lost my whole soul
He was out of control
In pain no more
I had to let him

Let him go
Let him go
Seize your victory girl
Let him go
Let him go
Let him go
Seize your victory girl
Let him go

I am
I'm not the next I am
I am not my ancestor them
I am
I am now, I was past
I am and will be make it last
I am

Healing from the drama from my mother
And all the awful shit I saw my father
Do to the one who brought me in this world
Been shunning pain from when I was a young girl
Healin inner me be some tough shit ain't going to quit
Generational curses just ain't it
Nothing about you is unfit
Grandmother was a founder
Blessing folks all around her
But black leader still swallowed anti-black shit
Looking in the mirror she don't like all that fat flesh
But I'm going to be the one to attest
A loved body is best
So let it go go
We on the go go
So let it go go
We on the go go

I am
I'm not the next I am
I am not my ancestor them
I am
I am now, I was past
I am and will be make it last
I am

I am
I'm not the next I am
I am not my ancestor them
I am
I am now, I was past
I am and will be make it last
I am

Let him go
Let him go
Seize your victory girl
Let him go
Let him go
Let him go
Seize your victory girl
Let him go

I am
I am
I am
I am
