Self Esteem

I never felt that way before.
Feeling myself until I couldn't anymore.
Nothing sexual, it was simply pure.
Feeling myself because I had so much more.
I stood tall and stuck out my chest
Because I understood why God made me one of the best.
And maybe you don't think so but I feel it in my heart.
I know for a fact He made me smart.
I know for a fact I come from queens and kings.
So why didn't I have self esteem?
It's a battle I fought for so long
But I'm through singing that ole' tired song!
I'm feeling myself and I'm ready to claim my prize
Cause I can see God's work through my beautiful brown eyes.
