Lyrics of 'Purpose' by Zakisha Brown

It's easy to get swallowed by a bad day
It's easy to be almost annihilated by a poor month
And it's easy sometimes to almost disappear

What you know about the quitting
The starting
The stopping
The commitment
The vision
Believing in yourself when no one listens
The doubts, the fears, the happiness, the tears
The work behind the scenes, the years, the years
The prеp and the waiting, the test of your patiеnce
The 10, 000 hours of focus dedication
Distractions in your face and Facebook, Instagram
And tik tok generation has our nation
Concentrations vacant it's mayhem
Debating in the comments like you know mans
Threatening me like you know where I am
Where I stand, cyber thugs love to hide behind
The screen its sham ruin privacy and cause chaos
That's their plan, steal ya energy and then move on
To the next man, that ain't gon' work with me
You vampires, I'm advanced
I don't dance with devils, I'll leave that to the caveman
A few years from now you gon' be like: Yo, hey fam!

There's a shift
When you walking in your purpose
Just keep walking with a purpose
I know you wanna quit
Just keep walking in your purpose
Just to keep walking with a person
What you know about the shift
When you walking in your purpose
Just keep walking with a purpose
I know you wanna quit
Just keep walking in your purpose
Just keep walking in your purpose

What you know about
Walking in your purpose even when you’re hella nervous?
Being the bigger person even when they don’t deserve it?

Feeling hella worthless when you’re not doing enough?
The feeling of being addicted to doing too much
The high, the rush, of being in a rush
The proving yourself to those who don’t give a
Being crushed by your crush and questioning what’s love?
The internal battles the fears of being judged
The internal battle, the battle with self love
Looking in the mirror and telling you you’re enough
Not believing it 'cause other people tell you it’s a bluff
And questioning the God that they say is up above
But believing that God energy is in all of us
Not a heathen but because you don’t believe in you are judged
Many reasons you be conceiving that life is more than us
Many planets and galaxies be with life form above
Life's a fantasy there's more to life then what
They're telling us but hush hush that's what they telling us
Hush hush you saying too much
Hush! What? I ain't saying enough

There's a shift
When you walking in your purpose
Just keep walking with a purpose
I know you wanna quit

Just keep walking in your purpose
Just to keep walking with a person
What you know about the shift
When you walking in your purpose
Just keep walking with a purpose
I know you wanna quit
Just keep walking in your purpose
Just keep walking in your purpose

What you know about
The power of nutrition
Queen afua's book sacred woman
Detoxing your system with some herbs in the kitchen
Sea moss in the mix and fasting and healing
Ancient traditions
Living and giving
Admitting when you're wrong
Admitting when you're (ignant) ignorant
The root of your addiction
The power of forgiveness
And do you know the difference between
Critics and constructive criticism
Listen trust your intuition and keep living out your mission
The answers are from within
Take a moment quiet to be silent to just listen

What you know about
Being a black woman in the system
The critics
Imagine being judged by your pigment
The ignorance
Think about it, really think about it
It hits different
Every time we shine our light
They try to dim it
Either we're too loud or too proud
Admit it
But I don't give a damn I'ma blur your whole vision
Shine my light so bright they don't know what hit em'
We only got this one life no time to be timid
No time to be timid
We only got this one life no time to be timid

So keep walking in your purpose
Just keep walking with a purpose
