All my friends say I am strong
But things'm not going according to plan
I'm trying to be brave
and I have to keep me up
When all I want is to lock myself at home
I'm trying not lower my head
When my family disapproves everything I do
I'm never good enough

Now it's too late to fix things
I'm tired of the comparisons
They do not understand me even
I'm tired of trying to explain
I swallowed my tears and me standing manti
I will not let my tears fall
We lost everything, but I still have my pride
I'm sorry, I'm not perfect

When you can not keep the chin up
And your heart can not take more catch
Maybe you just need to get away a little
That's what I do
When I'm not listening to music at full volume

All my friends ask me
why I remain firm
I say that when you know you have bad people
You should not let anyone doubt his potential
My heart is burning proud
I not abandon the war for the world
I have nothing to lose even

Now it's too late to fix things
I'm tired of the comparisons
They do not understand me even
I'm tired of trying to explain
I swallowed my tears and me standing manti
I will not let my tears fall
We lost everything, but I still have my pride
I'm sorry, I'm not perfect

I'm from Brooklyn, baby
I'm from Brooklyn, baby
I'm Brooklyn girl
