Yours and Mine lyrics

I sometimes wish

i could just be anonymous,

walk down on street

just like everyone else.

Before i was famous

i was a girl

on the heel with a guitar.

I was a girl that just wanted

beautiful view of the beach.

And now that i'm famous

it's really difficult to do

very simple things.

I think it's the hardest thing

to give up, but my mother

always taught me to be strong

and to never be a victim.

Never make excuses.

Never expect anyone else

to provide for me,

things i know that i can

provide for myself.

I have dreams

and i feel like

i have a power to

actually make those dreams

become a reality.

When you're famous

no one looks at you

as a human anymore.

You become the property of the public.

There's nothing real about it.

You can't put your finger

on who i am,

i can put my finger on who i am.

I am complicated,

I grew up with a lot of

conflicts and traums and

i've been through a lot,

just like everyone else.

Mu escape was always music,

and i am so lucky that that's my job.

But if i complex all of this things

and had no one to share with

it would be worth nothing.

You know you need something real

and order of any of this stuff to matter.

You have to have something

that is forever,

something invisible.

I was bright up

seeing my mother

tried please,

and make everyone comfortable

and i'm always feel like it was my job

fix problem.

People-pleaser.

But i am no longer

afraid of conflict

and i do not think like

conflict is bad thing.

Cause i know that

when you grow up

when you learn a few things

you are no longer afraid

of letting go.

You are no longer afraid of the unknown.

You are no longer afraid of going to

certain places in your body

and your mind

and your soul that may

make you uncomfortable.

And it all started with

if you can look at yourself in the mirror,

you say 'I like that person, you know'.

If i had gone through,

you know, some of the

painful experiences in my life,

i would not be me.

I feel like my life is borrow

in this life is very temporary.

I watched my friend's body

deteriorate and to watch

someone pass on so gracefully

put everything in perspective.

We do not value ourselves enough,

especially young people

don't really appreciate

how brilliant our bodies are.

I've always been

very specific and very choosy

about what i do with my body

and who i wanna share it with.

People think they lose something

when they get married,

but it doesnt have to be that way.

There is nothing more exciting

about having a witness to your life.

I always considered myself

a feminist although

i was always afraid of that word

because people put so much on it.

When, honestly, it's very simple.

It's a person who believes in

equality for man and women.

Minium balance each other out

and we have to get to a point

where we are comfortable

with appreciating each other.

I have a lot of empathy for men

and the pressures that they go

through in the cultures

that have been created

especially for african-american men.

I have the same empathy for

women and the pressures

we go through.

The woman has to provide

so many things for their children.

I consider myself

a humanist.

You know, everybody is not

good at everything,

you know,it's okay to

depend on someone.

It's actually what we're supposed to do.

We're supposed to depend each other,

and when you find the person

that you trust and you love

and you feel is going to respect you

and tak all of the shit you have

and turn it around

and bring out the best in you,

it feeds you.

It is the most powerful thing

that you can ever feel in your life.

Happiness comes from you.

No one else can make you happy.

You make you happy.

And one thing that's for sure

the love i have,

the music,

from my husband,

from my child,

it's something that

will last far behind in my life.
