Maya Angelou Lyrics by LexDaRapper

Dreams Start Young II: Underdog

0

(Chorus)
Hey Maya
Maya Angelou
I wrote this song for you
Wish I could perform for you
But now you're up in the clouds

(Verse 1)
Black queen, wish you could sit down with this rap fiend
People telling me I'm exactly what this rap needs
But I want to be more than that if you ask me
I want to speak and reach people outside of this rapping
I want to juggle a life just like you did
Devote my time to my art poems and music
But you left before I could ask you the blueprint
How did you still keep a beautiful smile all through this
You were an activist, wrote great passages
Worked with King and Malcolm, and you also was an actress and
At the same time I see these pictures of you laughing and
Wanted to ask you how you maintained that happiness
How did you deal with the pressure was it stressful
Everyone coming to you because you're special
I got some feelings that I need to let the rest know
Heartbreak from the past that I hold but I should let go
Black queen...you motivated the world
Gave a voice to broken lost little girls
I hope you're dancing now in Heaven do your twirl
A second life lived as an angel what you've earned
You got it all
I know you were a blessing with God involved
Writing hand had more power than a lion's paw
Are you in heaven now still writing poems

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Why do we shame our women, and degrade our women
Rarely raise our women, or ever praise our women
Try to change and chain not repay our women
And when we think of survivors we never name our women
Look in the mirror queens don't stop at just Beyoncé
You are Destiny's Child now go and Run The World bae
Keep a smile on ya, know we proud of ya
Got a Halo and a crown on ya, she’s profound royal
The only B-Word you should call your woman is beautiful
You think that dime and a canine are identical
When I hear that dog term I SMH cause it's pitiful
You're calling her the dog, but really needing to picture you
Saying it to your friends about her because you think it's cool
Not realizing that this is the woman who wants her kids with you
Yes it's just a word but you're missing the whole principle
Speak of her like she's invincible not like she's invisible
It's probably hard to walk in your shoes
Can only give so much cause there's so much that you lose
But I love you for what you do to, Ms. Hill, Erykah Badu
Michelle, Oprah, Keys, Beyonce, and Angelou

(Chorus)
