"Hey how ya doin', yeah I'm doin' mighty fine
Last time I seen ya, it's been a long time
Stop smilin' at me, get that look off your face
Please don't even front, stop bein' so fake
I know you do not like me and you made it very clear
You're always talkin' about me from what I hear
Always put me down when you thought that you could
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good

[Hook: Kelly]

Wasn't it you that said
Thought I was all that and you said I didn't have a clue
Wasn't it you that said
That I wouldn't make it through
And wasn't it you that said
That I didn't look too good, that I wouldn't do too good
I'd never make it out the 'hood
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good"

-Destiny's Child

To all those who underestimated me. To those who assumed that I'd be another statistic because my father was an addict and my mother was a single mom (not counting the fact that my father is actually a fucking muscial genius). I was born in '87. Use your deductive reasoning skills.

To those who were afraid to send their kids to my neighborhood after dark. Fuck you. It was okay for me I guess, but not for your little princes and princesses.

Finally, this goes out to those who somehow think that just because I understood and didn't fear my sexuality, that somehow I was a problem...it's YOUR kids who are now out here as adults with warped ideas and opinions.

All in all, I did just fine.
