TITANIUM

There are always times in my life when I need strength and inspiration. And while my true friends provide that to me, I always turn to music.

I don't know what I'd do without it.  Music heals me, song is my blood, the right lyrics are soul lifting.  One of the songs that I added to my repertoire a couple of years back is "Titanium". When I hear this song, it kicks me in the ass and tells me to get the fuck up. There is no man on this earth that can bring me down, that can stop me from reaching my potential.

I had a conversation with my 12 year old niece this past weekend.  She was worried about me and said that she didn't want me to be sad..over a man!  Well, this weekend I set her straight.  I told her that "Men are not 'need-to-have's' they're 'nice-to-have's".  I explained that I don't need a man to be successful or happy. But a man compliments my life.  I told her that it's important for a woman to know how to take care of herself, to have her own power.  When a woman has this, the man in her life just brings it to another level.  My wish for her is to be happy, smart, successful, and to call her own shots. She needs to make her own money and control her own future, and any man will be fucking lucky to have her!!!

Don't get me wrong Peeps.  I am NOT a militant feminist! The same rules that apply to me, apply to all men.  They don't NEED women.  Women should be nice to have's, not NEED to haves.  When two independent people come together, they should bring magic. So it doesn't matter if its two women, two men, or a man and a woman.  Bring your own magic. The rest should fall into place.

TITANIUM

You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized
But all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium

Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
