What Love Are You Able

Insecurities..little did I know, they're the window to possibility 
Holding back, holding heart..tell me why you have to crash and burn babe
The fire doesnt have to be your hurt, or shame. (Babe)
I take space.. try to keep my head up with a certain grace. 
Hearts on sleeves, broken dreams and empty prophecies.. 

Time shows what patience cannot 
I am better... they dont know what I got.

I keep it quiet 
Battling on the inside, quite.. the.. r-iot 
I keep true 
I give my best but y'all never do !
 authority, monogamy, this whole monopoly.
See no ones ever stuck around... is it me ..who's never been around.

See I see things, I know things. 
I keep it quiet 
Please dont run, just know that I am right. 
And that's this burden I bare... 
The knowledge of things that others dont dare. 

High priestess, a seamstress.. to this creation of mine I call my magic
Tryna be this boss ass bad  
I've been burned baby try a lot harder 
Intelligence is key, that's a good starter. 
I wont settle for no low life 
You can settle for my wild joy ride. 
Princess on the streets, your little freak in the sheets 
Gotta earn me.. gotta yearn me 
I cant bend down for no man no more. 
Been there.. done that. Before. 
What do you bring to my table? 
What capacity of love are you able? 
I see your essence before I see you.. the question is..do you see me too?
