[Verse 1]
You act like you don't hear me talkin'
You act like you don't see me here
Well I've always been around
Sometimes up and sometimes down
Was forced to speak my mind
Just brought a 9 to protect my life
I'm no ordinary girl

[Chorus]
Gangsta, gangsta yes I'll testify
Said I wouldn't make it, I passed them by and by
Peep if you will you'll find me grinding harder
Take a look through my mind
You'll see I'm getting wiser
Take a look at the world and see it's getting colder
Thank God for building me stronger

[Verse 2]
I find it hard to be like most women, most sisters
I want the truth don't play no games
I hide my pride with a smile
As I walk pass the snakes, the fakers
Somebody cut their wind, haters don't let 'em in
My uncle June saw life flash before his eyes
My aunt Anne saw her face in the sky
Now did you hear me on Family Ties?
I'm in my zone, my soldiers like to stand by
Never alone, about to make the drums cry
[Chorus]
Gangsta, gangsta yes I'll testify
Said I wouldn't make it, I passed them by and by
Peep if you will you'll find me grinding harder
Take a look through my mind
You'll see I'm getting wiser
Take a look at the world and see it's getting colder
Thank God for building me stronger

[Verse 3]
Life's went somewhere
My grind is steady
Got my money right, my mind been ready
Flow is deadly, they just don't get me
Please stay with me, follow my life
Been around the world twice came back
To the spot that I like
I'm on top, on top of the charts
On the tip of they tongues, the top of they hearts
They love me and I love them back
The boomerang effect is a fact

[Verse 1]
You act like you don't hear me talkin'
You act like you don't see me here
Well I've always been around
Sometimes up and sometimes down
Was forced to speak my mind
Just brought a 9 to protect my life
I'm no ordinary girl
[Chorus]
Gangsta, gangsta yes I'll testify
Said I wouldn't make it, I passed them by and by
Peep if you will you'll find me grinding harder
Take a look through my mind
You'll see I'm getting wiser
Take a look at the world and see it's getting colder
Thank God for building me stronger

[Verse 2]
I find it hard to be like most women, most sisters
I want the truth don't play no games
I hide my pride with a smile
As I walk pass the snakes, the fakers
Somebody cut their wind, haters don't let 'em in
My uncle June saw life flash before his eyes
My aunt Anne saw her face in the sky
Now did you hear me on Family Ties?
I'm in my zone, my soldiers like to stand by
Never alone, about to make the drums cry

[Short Chorus]
Peep if you will you'll find me grinding harder
Take a look through my mind
You'll see I'm getting wiser
Take a look at the world and see it's getting colder
Thank God for building me stronger
[Short Chorus]
Peep if you will you'll find me grinding harder
Take a look through my mind
You'll see I'm getting wiser
Take a look at the world and see it's getting colder
Thank God for building me stronger
