Suppose To Be

Brittany McClure 1994 (United States)



You know what they wanted
but your not wanted
you should know what I mean
that's all they wanted
sinking into your skin, where do it begin
blaming one another, where does the spell end
beleive it or not, its more than to attend

I caught a Glimp of what it suppose to be
always over posing me, let me show where we suppose to be
the outside is shining unto me, so you cant use me
life always slowly turning, but so fast when it goes pass me
don't touch me with your foolery, I might get caught in your misery
love isn't always the quest to be, focus on myself, I'm in tuned, like a busy bee
making my rounds where my mind takes me
reaching my thoughts out, this is the place to be
