If you want me you want everything that entails
I don't have the choice to fail
Y'all go get the bag and be sad lookin wack as hell
So I'm cpple pie in the sky
I'm practicing for when I die
Cause it's all rebirth
(Milk it for what it's worth)
This shit ain't no fairytale
If you want me you want everything that entails
I gave you the coupon
discount
code you got the new member sale
Now you in my isles you driving me wild
Fuck me on the counter next to the kale,
Now we gettin tired of moppin the tile and all of the produce is getting stale.
cnd the promotions don't really help
Now we put emotions back on the shelf
cnd everything cold like a TV dinner
Frozen peas over my splinters
I'm just hither and and you thither
It's cool lil daddy just drop me the addy I'll be in the parking lot when you get off
Let's make like the cause and go and get lost
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair
I got splinters from the places where it's torn up and it's bare
People see me with my crystals and my gauges in my ears
cnd they think all of my pink clothes mean I'm living with no fear
I'm leaving with what I came here for now whatchu sayin'?
This shit ain't no fairytale
You pay for your numbers to swell the whistles the bells But I

I am hip hop with these bows in my head!
I am the dream from my ancestors head!
Crisp like the crease in your granddaddy's pants
I am not special my ego is dead!
Just like the Christ how he hung and he bled
I'll sacrifice so that love will prevail
I'll bring new life from my personal hell
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair
I got splinters from the places where it's torn up and it's bare
Im still running round In circles I'm just on a higher tier

Gather Round, Children, and I will tell you a tale of origin, hardship, and triumph.
Yes yes, that's it. pay very close attention now. because The Path of The Mahou Shoujo could also be yours...
Long ago, but not so long as it seems
c man made of stars met a woman of dreams
They had many children but it was the first-born
Who would rise as a queen amongst the wheat and the corn
She watched the clouds pass
She sat very still
cnd heard God speak; it strengthened her will
Her childhood home was burned and reclaimed
Her father left his body, leaving only his name.
Her mother stayed close, but the child flew free
To step into the world and see what she could see
She witnessed the system strip her people of joy
cnd yet there was hope in the young girls and boys
She saw magic happen in every transaction
From chemical change to emotional reactions
She knew loss and pain; she knew how to change
She found prism in her body and glitter in her veins
She found divine purpose in the path she chose
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Her voice hit the air and the world stopped to stare
ct a vision of pink her emotions laid bare
She reached for the stars where her father had been

This shit ain't no fairytale
Life isn't a perfect, magical story
If you want me you want everything that entails
To be with me, you need to accept all that comes with it
I don't have the choice to fail
I must succeed, there's no room for failure
Y'all go get the bag and be sad lookin wack as hell
Everyone pursues success and material things, but ends up unhappy
So I'm cpple pie in the sky
I'm dreaming and reaching for higher goals
I'm practicing for when I die
I'm preparing for the afterlife
Cause it's all rebirth
Because life is a cycle of death and rebirth
(Milk it for what it's worth)
(Make the most of what you have)
I gave you the coupon, discount, code
I provided you with a way to access me at a reduced price
You got the new member sale
You took advantage of the offer for new customers
Now you in my isles, you driving me wild
Now you're in my life, causing me excitement and chaos
Fuck me on the counter next to the kale
Engage in sexual activities with me in unconventional places
Now we getting tired of mopping the tile and all of the produce is getting stale
Now we're exhausted from cleaning up the mess we've made and our relationship is becoming stagnant
And the promotions don't really help
The superficial gestures and actions don't truly improve our situation
Now we put emotions back on the shelf
Now we're suppressing our emotions and ignoring them
And everything cold like a TV dinner
Our relationship has become distant and lacking warmth
Frozen peas over my splinters
Superficial attempts to heal my emotional wounds
I'm just hither and you thither
I am aimless and you're also lacking direction
It's cool lil daddy just drop me the addy I'll be in the parking lot when you get off
It's fine, just give me your location and I'll be waiting for you
Let's make like the cause and go and get lost
Let's abandon our responsibilities and escape from reality
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair
My life has been difficult and filled with challenges
I got splinters from the places where it's torn up and it's bare
I have emotional wounds from the broken and damaged parts of my life
People see me with my crystals and my gauges in my ears
People judge me based on my appearance and assume things about me
And they think all of my pink clothes mean I'm living with no fear
They assume that my bright and colorful attire represents fearlessness
I'm leaving with what I came here for, now what you saying?
I'm leaving with what I originally intended to obtain, so what are you trying to say now?
You pay for your numbers to swell, the whistles, the bells
You invest in superficial things to gain attention and popularity
But I never seen likes pay water or lights
Social media popularity doesn't provide basic necessities like utilities
You gotta convert the sales
You need to turn your popularity into financial success
And cannot no glass slipper gone take you there
A Cinderella-like solution won't bring you success or happiness
Label drops happen over 90%
Record label contracts are often terminated without warning
Think of that, that's bat shit
Consider that, it's crazy and unpredictable
Fuck a contract if I cannot keep my percent and say what I meant
I don't care about contracts if I can't have creative control and express my true thoughts
And I meant what I said!
And I genuinely meant what I expressed!
I am hip hop with these bows in my head!
I embody hip hop culture while embracing feminine aesthetics
I am the dream from my ancestors' head!
I represent the aspirations and dreams of my ancestors
Crisp like the crease in your granddaddy's pants
I am sharp and polished, just like the crease in your grandfather's pants
I am not special, my ego is dead!
I don't consider myself extraordinary, I have let go of my ego
Just like the Christ, how he hung and he bled
Similar to Jesus, who suffered and bled for others
I'll sacrifice so that love will prevail
I will make sacrifices to ensure love and goodness triumph
I'll bring new life from my personal hell
I will overcome my struggles and create something positive from my difficult experiences
I got splinters from the places where it's torn up and it's bare
I have emotional wounds from the broken and damaged parts of my life
I'm still running round in circles, I'm just on a higher tier
I'm still navigating through life's challenges, but at a more advanced level
Gather 'round, children, and I will tell you a tale of origin, hardship, and triumph
Come closer, kids, and I'll narrate a story of beginnings, struggles, and eventual success
Yes, yes, that's it, pay very close attention now, because The Path of The Mahou Shoujo could also be yours...
That's right, listen carefully, because the path of a magical girl could also be yours...
Long ago, but not so long as it seems, a man made of stars met a woman of dreams
In the past, although not too distant, a celestial being encountered a woman with aspirations
They had many children, but it was the first-born who would rise as a queen amongst the wheat and the corn
They had several offspring, yet it was the eldest who would stand out and excel
She watched the clouds pass, she sat very still
She observed the passage of time and remained calm
And heard God speak; it strengthened her will
She experienced divine guidance that fortified her determination
Her childhood home was burned and reclaimed
Her place of origin was destroyed but rebuilt
Her father left his body, leaving only his name
Her father passed away, leaving behind his legacy
Her mother stayed close, but the child flew free
Her mother remained nearby, but she pursued her own path
To step into the world and see what she could see
To venture into the world and explore its possibilities
She witnessed the system strip her people of joy
She observed how the system deprived her community of happiness
And yet there was hope in the young girls and boys
However, the young girls and boys still held onto hope
She saw magic happen in every transaction
She witnessed moments of wonder and enchantment in every interaction
From chemical change to emotional reactions
From scientific transformations to emotional responses
She knew loss and pain; she knew how to change
She experienced grief and suffering, and she learned to adapt
She found prism in her body and glitter in her veins
She discovered vibrant colors within herself and sparkle in her spirit
She found divine purpose in the path she chose
She found a higher calling in the journey she embarked on
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Adorned with rings and bells, symbolizing her readiness and capabilities
Her voice hit the air and the world stopped to stare
Her voice resonated and captivated everyone's attention
At a vision of pink, her emotions laid bare
Presenting a pink-colored vision, she exposed her true emotions
She reached for the stars where her father had been
She aspired to reach the heights her father once achieved
And began to ascend, ascend, ascend
And started to rise higher, higher, higher
