Not my Cycle Lyrics

Hey, I want you to look inside the mirror and

Say these words with me

You ready

Yeah

I'm not a slave to opinions

I've got a choice to choose

I'm not a victim of circumstances

I can figure out the clues

My life is perfect, I can see it

I ditch the trap projected in my mind

No more drama

I'm like hit songs from Mary J Blidge

You see, generational curses that be

Can be broken if we

Step out of the same shoes they are walking in

Transform the patience in your heart

To some courage: that's smart

Converting in the billions like bananas in Walmart

I am whole, I bleed

However, I heal

I give life, it is my seal

I'm not sorry to be me

I am skillful in the workplace

Fast closing the gender gap

Changing the culture in the mornings

Yeah, with my baby on my back

My voice is projected in every room I walk into

Full of gratitude

You can't cap my cool, shuuuuuuush

I steer clear of envy

The lack it projects and every sense of feeling less

When I see my fellow woman blessed

There's room for us all

Medic or janitor at the mall

Tu vas etre super ma soeur

This is not my cycle

Safe to say - there ain't no perfect

Nothing satiates, not even an overabundance

With every desire met comes a void

Hoping for filling, revealing

Only to them of sight how replete life is with

Always craving for something that never fills

This reveals the ills of waiting

For the reels before one truly lives

Yeah, this is not my cycle

I'm not broken, I'm not scared

I'm not a character in Toy Story

I'm not hustling for your attention

I'm not an "ad" on your radio stations

I'm making a difference like Mary Slessor

Your demons, ama stress 'em

I'm changing your mind with my letters

Like Christine de Pizan in the Renaissance

I'm hitting back hard the resistance

Like Magaret Fuller and Mary Stewart

You see na

Serena

Every space is my space

Yeah, I'm all up in your face

I create, I initiate

Easy peasy - divine pace

All that you know is not my cycle

My muscle memory is being recycled

I come in peace, this is my title

This is me, I'm not entitled

I am a girl

I bring bliss

Josephine

All you know and all you've seen

All the experiences that you have gleaned

Oh oh oh oh oh

This is not my cycle

This is not my cycle

I have been recycled

I bring bliss

I am peace, come in peace

I'm not entitled

I'm bringing a new cycle, a revival

I'm bringing a new cycle
