Lyrics by Gaayatri Kaundinya

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O13AT1sA7BA

If anyone of you says I can’t play chess man
Tell all of them I could just check mah mate
Sippin’ on power imma princess no pauper
Fe-eel ma' rhythm and jus dance to ma' beat

I fight my own wars
I heal my own scars
I run my own world
Can all mah warriors come take a stand
Don’t be scared I’m gonna use ma' own audacity
Cause uh -
Remember inner light is beauty power brilliance.
