You said I wasn’t inspired But noticed I never tired You thought I had no direction My footsteps arrived at being accomplished You thought you knew me Education played a part in being a high note But my sentences and words surprised you as they continued to float Again, you thought you knew me I achieved beyond measure You are still looking for that secrete treasure You thought you knew me I stand with head held high without conviction Your life, you are still living on treason There’s a time to speak out, and a time to be silent Yet your understanding says little But all you want to do is meddle You thought you knew me I sometimes have a civil rights voice At times, it becomes in being my choice You never knew me I am a person you never met However through my assurance, it becomes my influence You never thought I had the quality of Am But let me start again In your mind you thought you knew me But reality, I was never one you wanted to see I am who I am supposed to be I am what the world would like to see But I am one that will just let be.
