This Is for Me (feat. Cookie Diorio) Video (MV)

Let me be the first to say X is a state of mind
I'm sick of tripping over certain X's all the time
From here on out I'll use it like we used to do in algebra
When an x would signify a certain something was unknown to ya
Or like the pirates would use it when they would draw a map
To let 'em clearly see where the treasure was buried at
I couldn't see how much treasure I had inside until I
Put my big fat X down on your little bottom line, Hey
This is for me

I couldn't be here without you baby
No, I couldn't be here without you babe
Without you baby
I couldn't be here without you baby
No, I couldn't be here without you babe,
Without you baby

I been having so much trouble with the word forgiveness
I been quick to tell that peaceful thought to mind it's business
I ain't saying that forgiveness isn't ever gonna happen, yo
But all that f*cked up shit was real. I got receipts
You know I ain't delusional
I'm through with patiently waiting for time to help me cope and
Sometimes all that helps me chill is swirling in a puff of smoke
There's only so much shit a person can possibly handle
Gotta know what battles to pick in the midst of a scandal
I chose my heart, my soul, my sanity
I chose to fight to save the rest of me
I chose to speak out even though you f*ckin' threatened me
I chose to curate what the world would be remembering
Yeah, this is for me

I couldn't be here without you baby
No, I couldnt be here without you babe
Without you baby
I couldn't be here without you baby
No, I couldn't be here without you babe,
Without you baby

Thank you for setting me free
Thank you for making me see the beautiful creature I have subsequently come to be
Marie Kondo, I know, would be so damn proud of me for showing so much gratitude to Someone that ain't serving me
And letting him go so all my undiscovered blessings can flow through the door
I know this is what it happened for
All the pain I endured and all the slandering that
Came out on The daily in every paper and magazine
I know it's strange to thank the one that tried to ruin me
And give him any credit for all the good things that's happening
But I truly believe that what you give you receive
And I don't wanna be the one to miss a damn thing
This is for me

I couldn't be here without you baby
No, I couldnt be here without you babe
Without you baby
I couldn't be here without you baby
No, I couldn't be here without you babe,
Without you baby
