I remember now, I remember
I remember now, I remember
I remember now, I remember
I remember now
What you said
No I'm not again
Promising
No I'm not okay
Tell me your faith
Nothing more than that
What you're afraid of
What you're afraid
I'm afraid
I'm a warrior
I'll be okay
I'm a warrior
Way I was made
I'm a warrior
Tell me your faith
Tell me your faith
I'll be okay
I'm a warrior
Tell me your faith
I'm a warrior
I'll be okay
I'm a warrior




I'll be okay
I'll be okay

This chicks bringing back this
This lady is reintroducing something old or forgotten

One snare one kick oh look at this
The simplicity of this music still produces a great impact


I freak in minds like
I disturb people's thoughts and cause surprise


Giddy up giddy up giddy up
Let's go, let's go, let's go

Illuminate the city and make it come alive

I present myself as a singer this time around


Next time ill come as pain
The next time I'll take on a more challenging and stronger persona


I ain't talking money
I'm not solely driven by wealth


But I can make it rain
But I still have the power to bring wealth and prosperity


Bitches try to get me with
Women try to bring me down with


Their witches on cocaine
Their evil and manipulative ways fueled by drugs


Snitches turn to dust
Those who betray me will quickly face their consequences


And I wash em down the drain
I get rid of these bad influences in my life


Vitamins for your brain
Take care of your brain's health


Protein for your weight gain
Consume high-protein foods to gain weight


This is how we train!
This is how we live and prosper, we stay disciplined to reach our goals
