Blessing and a Curse

Lyrics

[Chorus: Ashley Joi] Spent half of my life in denial Was an ongoing trial Already sworn in, for better or worse Left in the hands of a jury Beyond the shadow of a doubt It's a blessing and a curse [Verse 1: Ashley Joi] I never understood this target on me I didn't ask to look the way that I do Did all this bullying derive from envy? Was I guilty of it too? I wasn't dark enough to hang with those girls But I wasn't white enough to be red and blue Ooh, stuck in-between me, myself and I, forced to face the truth [Chorus: Ashley Joi] Spent half of my life in denial Was an ongoing trial Already sworn in, for better or worse Left in the hands of a jury Beyond the shadow of a doubt It's a blessing and a curse [Verse 2: Ashley Joi] Got old enough to know my beauty Brought me to places I could only imagine And I learnt it all don't come duty-free Never fall on entrapment And as much as I wish it was different I wouldn't have it any other way 'Cause it taught me how to pay attention, what a price to pay [Chorus: Ashley Joi] Spent half of my life in denial Was an ongoing trial Already sworn in, for better or worse Left in the hands of a jury Beyond the shadow of a doubt It's a blessing and a curse [Outro: Ashley Joi] Spent half of my life in denial It's a blessing and a curse Left in the hands of a jury It's a blessing and a curse
