Keep rocking, and keep knocking. Whether you Louboutin it up or Reebokin’. You see the hate, that they’re serving on a platter. So what we goin’ have, dessert or disaster.

I never thought I’d, be in love like this. When I look at you my mind goes on a trip. Then you came in, and knocked me on my face. Feels like in I’m in a race. But I already won first place.

I never thought I’d fall for you as hard as I did. (as hard as I did, yeah). You got me thinking bout our life our house and kids (yeah). Every morning I look at you and smile. Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down, knocked me down.

Sometimes love comes around. And it knocks you down. Just get back up. When it knocks you down. Sometimes love comes around. And it knocks you down. Just get back up. When it knocks you down.

I never thought I’d. Hear myself say (ooh). Y’all go ahead. I think I’m gonna kick it wit my girl today (kick it wit my girl today). I used to be commander and chief. Of my pimp ship flying high (flying high). ‘Til I met this pretty little missile that shot me out the sky (oh shot me out the sky).

Hey, now I’m crashing, don’t know how it happened. But I know it feels so damn good. Said if I could back, and make it happen faster. Don’t you know I would baby if I could. Miss independent (oh, to the fullest), the load never too much. She helping me pull it. She shot the bullet that ended that life. I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight,. Girl sometimes love.

Tell me now can you make it past your caspers. So we can finally fly off into NASA. You was always the cheerleader of my dreams that. Seem to only date the head of football teams.

And I was the class clown that, always kept you laughing. We, were never meant to be baby we just happen. So please, don’t mess up the trick, hey young world I’m the new slick rick. They say I move too quick, but we can’t let the moment pass us.

Let the hourglass pass right into ashes. Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses. So I wrote this love letter right before my classes. How could a goddess ask, someone that’s only average.

For advice. OMG, you listen to that bitch?. Whoa it’s me. Baby this is tragic. Cause we had it, we was magic.

I was flying, now I’m crashing. This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson. Now I’m mad, real mad, Joe Jackson. You should leave your boyfriend now, I’m a ask him.

Say you gotta put the good with the bad, happy and the sad. So will u bring a better future than I had in the past. Oh cause, I don’t wanna make the same mistakes I did. I don’t wanna fall back on my face again. Whoa, whoa. I’ll admit it, I was scared to answer love’s call. Whoa, whoa. And if it hits better make it worth the fall.

Won’t see it coming when it happens (hey). But when it happens you’re gonna feel it, let me tell you now. You see when love knocks you down.

Won’t see it coming when it happens. But when it happens you’re gonna feel it, let me tell you now. You see when love knocks you down. Yeah.

This quote says what it says though to me, I believe I am a survivor with mental illness and also a warrior with coming out so strong and confidently!
