Can I Talk My Shit?

Can I talk my shit for a second? 
Cause I don’t need 100 likes
to know how good I look right now.  
I own several mirrors, thank you.  
I will take them. 
But I do not need them, boo. 

Can I talk my shit for a minute? 
Or two? 
How about a minute for every time
I bounced back
before you ever realized I had been down? 

Can I talk my shit now? 
I try to remain peaceful.
Calm.
But if you are intent on finding out,
I promise you sir, I can get loud.

Can I talk my shit more?
For anyone who ever thought
I had it handed to me.
Or don't deserve.
Or haven't earned.
Well...
This bag is still secured.
And this baby got it honest.

Can I talk my shit please?
If I want it, it's mine.
Any day. 
Any time.

Can I talk my shit for real?
I think I’m done being humble.
Done down playing my dope shit.
No more playing polite with play boys
who feel bad after they fuck up.

Can I talk my shit tonight?
I'm fully in my bag.
I don't care if it's right.
I'm back to myself.
So I'm telling me "yes".
I catch her in the mirror.
Remind her she's best.
