~Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie~ " I am not your enemy, baby
I am not your enemy, baby
They are not what they pretend to be, baby
They are not what they pretend to be, baby
Never let 'em get the best of me, baby
I’m just tryna build a better me, baby
Never let 'em get the best of me, baby
I'm just tryna build a better me, baby
I’m just tryna build a better me
Better me
Better, better me, better, better, better me "
