Rose-Colored Glasses

I found a crack in my rose colored glasses And It gave me a glimpse of reality Now is the time to stop kissing asses And lay claim to the things that belong to me I got real tired of looking over my shoulder Waiting for that second shoe to fall Now is the time to be a little bit bolder Won’t apologize a bit for not being small I’ve had it up to here asking for permission time you give up expecting my submission Not losing any sleep if you’re not my biggest fan I am who I am It’s not your right to grant me space in the world Nix the well-intentioned comments - don’t be a squirrel I simply want an uncomplicated life I don’t need your approbation or your trite advice Puttin’ on my big girl pants Not gonna be a victim of your circumstance Sometimes it’s better to take the trump With the card you leave unplayed Just walk away Sometimes I wonder how you got so emboldened Passing judgment when you haven’t walked in my shoes I guess nobody told you sometimes silence is golden If you bet on assumptions you’ll probably lose Please tell me how my body threatens your existence Did your mother never tell you it’s not nice to stare Spare me fake concern on how I live my life You’re not my doctor, and I’m not your wife I’ve had it up to here asking for permission time you give up expecting my submission Not losing any sleep if you’re not my biggest fan I am who I am I found a crack in my rose colored glasses And It gave me a glimpse of reality Now is the time to stop kissing asses And lay claim to the things that belong to me Now I'm claiming all the things that belong to me Belong to me I am who I am
