DeanaMarie - You a Stah Lyrics

You a stah you a stah
You a stah you a stah
You a stah you a stah
You a stah
Runnin home from school like it was a tack meet
From this darkskin boy who like to slap me
He thought that shit was cool a handprint it would leave
Above my mouth on my little light skin cheek
Wish my dad was home once I got there
I was all alone no one to share
Home on a regular me my mom and my little sis
No father figure there to assist
Insecurities grew fit like a glove
Never knew what standing up for self was
The nicer we were the meaner people were to us
They didn't like us because our mom taught us love

Just the three lived in the house no father figure or spouse
Back then was scared grew up right
Cloned your love strengthened our fight
Youngest daughter pullin rank cuz she managing the bank
Proud your daughters came so far watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah watch watch watch me be your supa stah

Little family split up had me doubting those I trust
Planted mental seeds in my mind bought all of us
Tryin make me think I'm not worthy of the best
Visit from my dad told me block out all the rest

Then he left wouldn't stay confidence went away
Til high school things came clear my best friend so dear
She showed me things I never knew about myself
That my beauty was worth takin of the shelf
True best friends doin' all things best friends do
No no I think you know wwwhat I mean was girls true
Thus we digging on the boys the boys was digging us
But we not hot never a thot respect we got

Just the three lived in the house no father figure or spouse
Back then was scared grew up right
Cloned your love strengthened our fight
Youngest daughter pullin rank cuz she managing the bank
Proud your daughters came so far watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah watch watch watch me be your supa stah

I'm chasing dreams reaching goals climbing to the top
Was naive to think haters ever stop
On some dumb shit like hair skin and nails I got
Love yourself don't worry bout what you not
Brangin racism into our race
When me and baby sis share the same mother's face
But I am light my sister's Carmel that's a fact
Now that's some real shit and holdin' nothing back

Sneak ones pretend they friends and wonder why I shininn'
Problee talking shit cuz they hear my rhyming
But wait for this I'm made for this
That knowing who you are
Believe as daddy said you a stah

Just the three lived in the house no father figure or spouse
Back then was scared grew up right
Cloned your love strengthened our fight
Youngest daughter pullin rank cuz she managing the bank
Proud your daughters came so far watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah you a stah watch me be your supa stah
You a stah watch watch watch me be your supa stah
