HerStory Lyrics

Let's take it back where it all began

Burden on my shoulder and it weighs a ton

What tore me up, It can't tear me down

They wanna know just how I made it

I done made it through the matrix

I wrote my name up on the pavement

(Yeah, yeah)

This is HerStory in the making

Ooh, thank God that she made it

Showing off my scars as if they chandeliers

Plotting on my downfall so I switched the gears

Getting to the paper, oh lead the trail

Poof It looked like magic just how I appeared

I done wiggled through the mazes

I could've got popped, yeah, but thank God I made it

Now they need the demonstration

Blueprints and plots to this elevation

Let's take it back where it all began

Burden on my shoulder and it weighs a ton

What tore me up it can't tear me down

They wanna know just how I made it

I done made it through the matrix

I wrote my name up on the pavement

(Yeah, yeah)

This is HerStory story in the making

Ooh, thank God that she even made it

Back in 93, a couple fiends got pregnant

Conceived a child on the eve of January 17th

It was immaculate conception, nigga

considering the era of drug paraphernalia

Tattle tells a tease for what's out to get you

You facing that, then have to come face you

All that aside, you stood down and embraced you

Eyes open wide, dilated to what pains you

I had to cut off all my trauma ties

Binded by the solutions to my improvement

Although it hurt me in my soul

To never really look inside my mama's eyes

I know that God behind the scenes

Provide for me we all divine

Let's take it back where it all began

Burden on my shoulder and it weighs a ton

What tore me up it can't tear me down

They wanna know just how I made it

How I done made it through the matrix

I wrote my name up on the pavement

(Yeah yeah)

This is HerStory in the making

Ooh, thank God that she done made it

They gon' think this just a song

I let them think just what they want

Play the system if you want

I'ma get mine fore' I'm gone

They gon' think this just a song

let them think just what they want

Play the system if you want

Imma get mine fore' I'm gone

They gon' think this just a song

let them think just what they want

Play with the system if you want
