Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Lather, rinse, repeat.
Get punched in the face as I rise to my feet
Another near defeat
But this time, no maker to meet
Cause I won't assume the role of the weak
Not again.
On the strong woman scale, I am not a ten
But I will stand up if I fall down again
And you'll be stunned then, cuz u remember when
Not so long ago, I was at a disadvantage
Little, young and naive, at least from your vantage point
I was always gettin smoked like a rancid joint
If we were solving mysteries, I'd be scared shitless
and saying "Zoinks!"
But let me get back to the point:
That's not me anymore.
As I got older and smarter, I learned how to settle my own scores,
How to open my own doors
That would take me where I want to go, and keep
me on track
So get outta my van, I've got no more Scooby Snacks
What I do have is confidence to keep me intact.
And if you're thinking things must be out of whack
You thought I was still this, when really I'm that
I'll tell you I'm consistent like as a shampoo pack
And so Suave, in fact,
That "lather, rinse, repeat" is written on my back
Cuz I've scrubbed myself clean
of the anger and agression
Trained my mind to stay out of depression
Clear thinking plus knowledge becomes Pertinent
For confidence to become certain, you have to feel power
Pull back the curtain, it's time for another shower.
The Essence of me isn't Herbal, it's organic
I've gone back to my roots, remembered the soil,
forgot the panic
Never again will I blame the whole planet,
or cower and hide
Like Selsen Blue, I brush all you flakes aside
and remember true confidence can be found
even in disguise
That's why I always look you in the eye
As time flies, I will fall down one more time
than I rise
But don't be surprised when I refuse to be beat
Cuz my motto's like Suave: "Lather, rinse, repeat."
