"Therapy" lyrics
(Ojay got that juice)
I wish that I could wear a skirt and play just like the little girls
I had dresses in my closet and I could show it to the world
But showing off my skin and off my hair? Yeah, that's too risky
Uncle taught me at a young age there's a price for being pretty
Have you ever had a uncle that was touching on your thighs?
And you tell him you don't want it but he's forced it in, inside? (Ah)
Feel like my life is worthless 'cause I'll always be the victim
Been neglected by my family and neglected by the system (Damn)
And I'm tryna prove my point but everybody gon' defend him
I was scared, so I stood quiet while this nigga steady raping me
Another angry Black girl, yeah, that's what he made me be
My dignity, he took from me, virginity, he took from me
I'd hide behind my bed at night so he wouldn't look for me
But look at what he did to me, look at what he took from me
And they tell me to believe (Believe), and they tell me to be strong
And they tell me to keep faith, I put my pain up in this song (Be strong)
So now I'm facing all these demons, so I'm calling on the Lord
But my knees is getting weaker, without You, I can't go on (Be strong)
He would creep up in my room when all my family was asleep (Be strong)
He molested me so bad that I was bleeding through the sheets (Be strong)
Shit, I wonder what I did to deserve this life (This life)
It's like I'm steady going wrong when I'm tryna do right (Be strong)
And I ain't tryna lose the battle, so I'm steady gon' fight
But it's gon' be a suicide 'cause now I'm grabbing the knife, shit (Damn)
Man, I gotta be strong (Strong)
And if you ever been the victim, I hope you hear this song (Stay strong)
'Cause now I'm no longer the victim, and it's no longer my fault
And I ain't following the rules from now, we playing on our court (I'm strong)
If you ever been the victim, just know it ain't your fault (It's not your fault)
If you been sexually abused, just know it ain't your fault (It's not your fault)
And if nobody believe you, just know it ain't your fault (It's not your fault)
'Cause now they're following our rules, and now they're playing on our court
It's not your fault
It never was your fault, nah (Be strong)
Shit, it ain't my fault (It's not my fault)
I swear to God (It wasn't your fault), it's not your fault
It never was your fault (Be strong)
(Promise?)
I wish that I could wear a skirt and play just like the little girls
