Something is in the air
that wants me gone;
They dislike me on a front chair
because I'm not a meek fawn
Something is in the air,
They want me to be quiet
but I do not care
and I say what is right
Something is in the air,
They want me to act dumb;
I am no tortoise or a hare,
To their pettiness, I grew numb
Something is in the air,
They want me to lose
But I know what's unfair,
My fate I get to choose
Something is in the air,
They want me to quit
But I don't mind the glare
I get when I use my wit
Something is in the air,
They don't want me taking space
But I know I am rare;
I ignore their jealous face
Something is in the air,
They want me to be small
But I'm proud of my hardware;
I will continue to stand tall!
Something is in the air,
They dismiss my mind;
Only viewing me as a mare,
such shallow beings I always find
Something is in the air,
My zeal they wish to steal
But I keep climbing up my stair
And brave it makes me feel!
Something is in the air,
They don't want me to heal
But so far I have fared,
I let karma make them kneel
Something is in the air
So I don't let them interrupt;
My esteem they wish to tear
but my anger doesn't erupt
Something is in the air
So I don't tolerate disrespect
I never hide it, I share
so it vanishes to a great effect
Something is in the air,
They want me to be dead
but to live on, I dare;
That's enough to make them dread
Something is in the air,
And enough has been said
Strength on a sleeve, I wear;
Never weak for the tears I shed.
