My Truth

I grew up a daddy's girl

Until he split and left me alone without a care in the world

So I really never had a father figga

Guess that's why I looked for comfort in a hood nigga

Running around town letting these niggas get in my head

When all they really wanna do is get me in dey bed

I was blessed to have a mother like mines

Cuz she constantly stayed on my black behind

So I was spared the whole "yous a hoe" line

Still don't mean that I didn't commit the same crime

Lost my virginity at the tender age of seventeen

Woke up the next day hoping it was all a dream

The reality hit me full force

Cuz I was no longer a member of the V-Club anymore

I had lost my purity and along came all of my insecurities

How could I let him have something that was so dear to me?

This was a verse that I could not rehearse or just press reverse

Cuz the time kept on ticking and something was still missing

When I looked in the mirror, my reflection wasn't the same

I sat there wishing I hadn't got caught up in his game

The good news is I did know his...real...name

The bad news is I only had myself to blame

What a shame?

This is a true story written by so many of us

Once lost in this world, don't know who to trust

But if I must, can I tell you of a man I know

Who forgived my sins and restored my soul

I was made whole, in God I am bold

That's why I couldn't leave this story untold

The peace I feel inside is worth more than silver and gold

It can't be replaced, no not even erased

Can't you see the joy on my face!

In Jesus Christ I am stronger

I am wiser

I am better than I have ever been before

So glad I was there when he knocked on my door

That's why I'm not afraid to stand up and proclaim it

Anything that he asks of me, you name it

Cuz he made me in his perfect image

Being a beautiful, black, smart, educated woman is a privilege

I am the truth, so I've answered call

He didn't send me alone so I'm not afraid to fall

Before him I place none

That's why they call me...THA VIRTUOUS ONE!!!

Tha Virtuous One™
