I woke up this morning, turned the TV on

And everything I see is everything that's wrong

And I'm like: Man, turn that off

Got enough to worry about without thinking 'bout this

Now my Twitter's blowin' up 'cause I spoke my mind online

Got no time for this

Reality is chasing me, my life is like a list

Wake up, wake up, get up, get up

Hustle, hustle, speed up, speed up

I start my day, take time to pray

No time to get to my haters

Wait, did I just say: Haters?

Not wastin' no bars on you

So much potential inside of me

And I'm taking my opportunity

Today I will walk in my power

And today will be my finest hour

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

I live for me, I can't live for you

I have a dream, I have a dream and I do believe

This is the last time (last time)

I let you play with my mind (my mind)

'Cause now I know better

Now my phone's blowing up 'cause I spoke my mind last night

Got no time for this

Is my heart still beatin'? (Yeah, my heart's still beatin')

I'm over you, I'm over you

Uh-uh, ain't nobody answering that

Wake up, wake up, get up, get up

Hustle, hustle, speed up, speed up

I start my day, take time to pray

No time to give to what's-his-name

Wait, did I just say: What's-his-name?

Not wastin' my time on him

I know my king is out there for me

So I'll take my opportunity

Today I will walk in my power

And today will be my finest hour

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

I live for me, I can't live for you

I have a dream, I have a dream

So today I will walk in my power

And today will be my finest hour

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

I live for me, I can't live for you

I have a dream, I have a dream and I do believe

Woke up this morning, I pick up my phone

And see this crazy thing as I hear goin' on

And I'm like: Hold up, they talkin' 'bout me

Got enough to worry about without thinking 'bout this

I've been black girl magic

20 years I been at it

I'm over you, I got nothing to prove (nothing to prove)

Or maybe I do

Hollywood's sexist and racist

And still we smile throughout it

You'd be surprised what we deal with

The way we show up and kill shit

I love my brown skin so much

Been that way before Wakanda

So f what you thought or love me or not

I'll never stop so

Today I will walk in my power

And today will be my finest hour

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

I live for me, I can't live for you

I have a dream, I have a dream

So today I will walk in my power

And today will be my finest hour

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

No more coulda, shoulda, woulda

I live for me, I can't live for you

I have a dream, I have a dream, yeah
