bursting with pride.
1.
a few conversations,
despite my confusion,
at last someone understands.
she showed me the questions,
gave me directions,
unlocking the truths I'd forgotten.
chorus:
now there's nothing to hide,
invincible with you on my side.
thank you for bringing me home,
powerful and bursting with pride.
2.
my very first venture
onto the Crip scene..
I was timid, scared of
rejection and questions.
the smile on your face
as I hung in the doorway...
I never have felt
so welcome before.
now there's nothing to hide
invincible with you on my side.
thank you for bringing me home
powerful and bursting with pride.
3.
still frightened and green,
mistrusting my own passion
you heard my voice,
now I'm singing.
you've given me the confidence,
to believe, what I feel

makes sense,
accepting me in, like
I've been here a hundred years
now I've nothing to hide
invincible with you on my side.
thank you for bringing me home
powerful and bursting with pride.
4.
a thousand conversations,
still the pictures growing -
there's hundreds of people
fighting like me.
now I've got the confidence,
I know, what we believe
makes sense.
accepting me in, back to
where I have always been.
now there's nothing to hide,
invincible with you on my side,
thank you for bringing me home,
powerful and bursting with pride,
I belong for the first time,
powerful and bursting with pride,
invincible with you on my side,
powerful and bursting with pride
