One in a million
by Kadidia Coulibaly
And boy I gotta watch my back,
Cause I’m not just anybody.
And as arrogant as that might sound,
I know you know those are words of the truth, Cause my aura brightens your mood
And I know you know it like I do .
And boy I gotta watch my back,
Cause they don’t really make em like me how they used to
And I’m not what you’re used to.
But you wanted different,
Which is why I am what you wanted to get used to.>
But boy I gotta watch my back,
Cause you’ll love all that I have
Till you get used to it.
And you forget that I’m my own
More than I am yours.
And you forget that stepping away
Can happen quicker than stepping in your direction
Cause boy i’m watching out for me
Boy I’ve been watching my own back.
