Lyrics
❃❊❃✣❃
i don't really wanna hear about who you think I am
i'm Aura
i'm proud of
my accomplishments
i'm looking like a bag of spinach
them say i got them nutrients, well
this right here got me feeling like a underground mermaid
you know i be stylin' on 'em
surfin' on my own wave
feelin' badder than Beyoncé and they say
i'm radder than that chick
i won't disagree
i'm feeling rather Righteous
i might just
head to the spot
where they steady taking flicks of the chick
the gold bitch
melt 'er down
and she rise like she never fell
and i'll be shining like i
m platinum now
glowin' like i'm chrome
but i'm brown
browner than a turd
yet freer than bird
but don't talk wild
presents do drop down
and i'm no infant
baby, but i insist you listen
to the self love i'm spitting
you see i'm higher up than Spitta
i'm wavier than Max
i'm ballin' more than Jim
no set!
i got my back
woah
maybe i'm just Righteous
word
maybe i'm just Righteous
i'm shook to the core
they don't want to hear me anymore
my love for myself, it's too strong
it's hard to absorb
they're choking on my love
they're choking on my love
i might give myself a hug
cuz i'm shook!
alarmed!
spooked!
frightened!
but i can't give it up
'cause i'm Righteous!
i'm righteous
word
maybe i'm just, Righteous
i'm stupified, petrified
anything! you name it
reclaim it
the icing on the cake is
they were strong now it's gone 'cause i own it
she, me, her, my pronoun is Righteous!
well, i'm black and i'm cloaked
i'm warm and i'm bold and i'm loud and i'm cold
and extra horny
them right on all counts, shit
matter fact i'm tryna bang wood now
meant on bark cuz i'm a dog
more like a beast, shit
cuz i get vicious, na
i'm a tree growing freely
and my leaves
their aiming for the heavens
and they'll say "shutup! you're a lady"...
cuz they ain't got no dreams at night
they'll hold they're pillow tight and
pray for more money
well fuck that!
i'm braulic and i'll fight you
so whassup?
huh-
i'm shook to the core
they not thinking great anymore
they wants for themselves too small
it's hard to absorb
woah, woah
