LYDIA ALEM - HERSTORY Lyrics

(Ooh, it was the wrong time, oh yeah It was the wrong time)
But it was already written (It was the wrong time)
And that's alright (It was the wrong time)
Cause it's my time now

(Ooh, it was the wrong time, oh yeah)
It's been a long time coming
My inner child's been waiting

You think you know me and you have a lot to say
So what is my story? I wanna play by play by play
Now you couldn't tell me nah you couldn't take my pain
Want you to step in my shoes, tell me that you'd last a day

I remember those nights when my breathing was heavy
And I swore up and down liquor brought me to safety
Till my life was in ruins and my soul was breaking
I thank God every day that my mama was praying

This is why it's deep to me, do this for my future kids, my family
I want my ancestors looking down on me, looking down so proud of me
And I know I fell off, but I swear I'm back on
And this time I ain't letting up, it's my turn, yeah

I wanna trust my intuition, be in touch with higher self and move with good intention
Don't wanna feel the jealousy, the guilt, the hatred
Wanna overfill with love and let it leak in all right places
And I know I'm far from perfect, but to God I am worthy and to me that's perfection

And I've fought a lot of demons, a lot of it abuse, but most of it was addiction
This is why it's deep to me, do this for my future kids, my family
I want my ancestors looking down on me, looking down so proud of me
And I know I fell off, but I swear I'm back on

And this time I ain't letting up, it's my turn
Oh yeah, and I know I fell off, but I swear I'm back on
And this time I ain't letting up, it's my turn
It was already written

And that's alright
Cause it's my time now
