Lyrics

This is my Emancipation Proclamation

Ooh
Yeah

The day I realized you didn’t own me anymore
Was the day my life began
The day you couldn’t control me anymore
Was the day I became who I am

You were the one thing I could depend on
But you left me wondering how I could go on
But I’m glad it happened this way
‘Cause you helped me find my power

From this day on, I will be
By myself, for myself, and of myself
Today I take a vow to
Define myself, support myself, and love myself

From now on, I will be
By myself, for myself, and of myself
Today I take a vow to
Define myself, support myself, and love myself

‘Cause now I know better

The day I realized how you let fear rule your life
I knew you weren’t the one
But still I insisted on staying with you
I let you have all the fun

Did you have to tell me on my birthday
Couldn’t have chosen any other day
But I’m glad it happened this way
‘Cause you helped me find my power

From this day on, I will be
By myself, for myself, and of myself
Today I take a vow to
Define myself, support myself, and love myself

From now on, I will be
By myself, for myself, and of myself
Today I take a vow to
Define myself, support myself, and love myself

‘Cause now I know better

From this day on, I will be
By myself, for myself, and of myself
Today I take a vow to
Define myself, support myself, and love myself

From now on, I will be
By myself, for myself, and of myself
Today I take a vow to
Define myself, support myself, and love myself

‘Cause now I know that I am Weaux
Now I see that Weaux Is Me
