Youngest of three cocoons
Had a hard time  recognizing her butterfly
Let me presume
Life felt like slow mo wanted to Go Pro
We need to zoom
And on different angles was a stranger to her sisters too
Not the predictable type stereotype with no father figure
Was proud to raise em stable foundation and kept god within em
Life hit different when your other siblings  dating the basketball starters
One played his game straight forward
Other played center no center of attention she waited for it
Never come out and address it but sadly and quietly she hating on em
That's how family ties get untied and turn into knots
Not feeling too welcomed now
She stepping out blindly that's like walking barefooted on top of rocks
Same route always approaching a black Camaro
Passenger side window rolled down
She heard what up doll face
She thinking if not destiny that this shit gotta be different
She f*ck it I'll scratch the surface off like lottery tickets
Hopped in the whip and
Wind in her her whippin
Selfie inflicted
No filter can fix this
Barely enough gas for
This ego trip trippin
Look out for ya blind spot
Don't get caught slippin

According to me this life is a garden to me
All my tears just water the seed
Want you to see how much I'll shine
Cuz butterflies can't see their wings

Butterfly you better fly
Butterfly you better fly
Butterflies can't see their wings
Butterfly you better fly
Butterfly you better fly
Butterflies can't see their wings

No longer emotionally neglected or feeling rejected
Hardly even opened up her mouth but she all smiles
Same black Camaro picked her up from home sister playing detective
Older sister know this ain't the way she just texted her phone with a SMH
Butterfly replied it's going great we just gon go on a date
Fishing for compliments not knowin she the bait
He a older nigga
So she figured he could show her the life
He offered her vueve cliqot and a first class flight
Now butterfly's flying
So much for taking advice
She takin half of what she know
And tryna make it all right
He mentioned jail time
One time
Brief convo
Red flag
F*@k that
Plane lands
Cabo

I look at the rain that falls as just another opportunity to grow and go to more places
To find new ways to shape me in the places I feel I'm caged in
I can feel the changes
According to me this life is a garden to me
All my tears just water the seed
Want you to see how much I'll shine
Cuz butterflies can't see their wings

Butterfly you better fly
Butterfly you better fly
Butterflies can't see their wings
Butterfly you better fly
Butterfly you better fly
Butterflies can't see their wings

Life is a beach she thinkin  this view is sweeter
Tatted up her feed wit pics palm trees and margaritas
Geotaggin the ritz caption yaaas bitch
Scrolled thru the comments real quick then checked the dms she missed
It was her sis saying
You don't even know homie
U dat lonely
I'm not mad
I just wish u woulda told me
Prayer hand emoji
Then anonymous walked in slight grin with two friends
Butterfly recognized she bout to be the star of the wrong show
She wanted attention but this not how it's supposed to go
She looked down at the floor
Then her subconscious hit her with a quote
Everyone praying with you ain't prayin for you
Some nigga praying with you they preyin on you
Butterflies can't see their wings
Scorpions can't feel their stings
And a wolf can't feel their fangs
Butterfly was dead broke but still had common sense
Headed for the lobby
Butterfly ain't looked back since

According to me this life is a garden to me
All my tears just water the seed
Want you to see how much I'll shine
Cuz butterflies can't see their wings

Butterfly you better fly
Butterfly you better fly
Butterflies can't see their wings
Butterfly you better fly
Butterfly you better fly
Butterflies can't see their wings

They can't see their wings
They can't see their wings

According to me this life is a garden to me
All my tears just water the seed
Want you to see how much I'll shine
Cuz butterflies can't see their wings

They can't see their wings
Butterflies can't see their wings
They can't see their wings
Butterflies can't see their wings
They can't see their wings
Butterflies can't see their wings
They can't see their wings
Butterflies can't see their wings
