I am a female, bold and bright all day long
I sweat and still go on
I pull up and show up in my hood
The compliments from my peers sometimes overwhelm
Reality strikes and weighs on my shoulders
It is the pressure that comes with a compliment
I go to my hood with pride
I always look forward to seeing where all of my success started
Where my current derives from
I feel and I am touched by the circumstances, yet
The reality strikes and weighs on my shoulders
It is the pressure that comes with a compliment
My home town Is my home
Not only my mama’s house but the entire hood carries me
My peers show long appreciation
Elders give love and expectations
Drilled into being a role model
Striking a balance between being me and still rolling for those who look up to me
The reality strikes and weighs on my shoulders
It is the pressure that comes with a compliment
I do charity work
I show up and bring change
I get compliments, and the bar is raised higher
I am just a little one who wants to be treated like every young one in my hood
This instant respect, even from elders, is overwhelming
The reality strikes and weighs on my shoulders
It is the pressure that comes with a compliment
I am a female, bold and bright all day long
I pull up and show up in my hood
The compliments from my peers sometimes overwhelm
The reality strikes and weighs on my shoulders
It is the pressure that comes with a compliment
