Ooh, it's been a long day, and I ain't even started
Working more than ever on the art, I care too much about it
I'm out here trying to master it
Do not take me for a target (for a target)
I must be the one you got confused with
When you listen to me, all your hear is true shit
Mind overloading I hope I don't lose it, no
Don't get close to me, I see 'em everything imitating everything
Just give me back that thing you stole from me
I don't need no talk if you see that you should roll with me
I ain't trying to change the person you are
You should be just who you chose to be
Yo, yo, a black woman, is that all you see?
I tell 'em don't get close to me
Because I don't think that it's necessary
Know what I'ma live for and I won't stop until I am legendary
God gave me a purpose on the 23rd of February
Will be televised because my story is revolutionary
Always on the move, never can be stationary
Always had a vision, visualize me as a visionary
Make sure they talk about it when they write my obituary, wait
Know that kind of talks a little more than scary wait, ay, ay
Don't wear, don't wear your heart up on your sleeve
Your sleeve
Don't wear don't wear your heart up on your sleeve
Yo this is where it started this is where it ends
This is where I started this where it ends
Fuck this is still, still here nobody moves unless they kick you out
Cause there ain't no more room to build and destroy
Build and destroy your meant to choose food for thought that feeds your mind
Let's not allude them let's do shit using our conciousness
Don't wear, don't wear your heart up on your sleeve
Your sleeve
Don't wear don't wear your heart up on your sleeve
Somewhere far away
I go into my hiding space
Don't disturb me
Don't disturb me
Don't wear, don't wear your heart up on your sleeve
Your sleeve
Don't wear don't wear your heart up on your sleeve
