Hey! Hey! Let’s go!
**
Woke up this morning, new day on my mind
Yesterday’s stress? Girl, I’m leavin’ it behind
Got homework, got goals, got people who care
Daddy’s voice in my head: "daughter , say a prayer"
Mirror says "you got this", so I’m gonna try
Even when I’m nervous, I’m gonna reach the sky
Not tryna be perfect, just tryna be true
Get a little better than I was yesterday too
**
Little steps, big dreams
That’s the way it seems
And I’m okay to be
Me
_**_
I’m better than yesterday ✨
Fall down, but I find my way
Laughin’ with my girls, learnin’ every day
Yeah, I’m better than yesterday
No pressure to be like them
I’m just workin’ on my 10
Michelle in her own lane
And I’m better than yesterday!
**
Group project, presentation, butterflies
But I stand up tall and I look ‘em in the eyes
Friends got my back, we hype each other up
We don’t do the shade, we just lift each other up
Got a journal full of "one day I will"
Got a playlist for when I need that thrill
Faith in my heart, hustle in my feet
If I slip, I learn, then I get back on my feet
**
Little steps, big dreams
Watch me as I beam
And I’m proud to be
Me

I’m better than yesterday ✨
Fall down, but I find my way
Laughin’ with my girls, learnin’ every day
Yeah, I’m better than yesterday
No pressure to be like them
I’m just workin’ on my 10
Michelle in her own lane
And I’m better than yesterday!
**
Age 14, but I’m wise beyond my years
I’ve got goals, I’ve got faith, I’ve got no fears
To every girl out there feelin’ kinda small:
You’re growin’. You’re glowin’. You got this, y’all!
**
I’m better than yesterday ✨
Watch me rise, watch me play
Michelle’s writin’ her own way
Yeah, I’m better than yesterday!
Better, better, better than yesterday!

Better than yesterday
That’s my motto, that’s my way

Since she’s 14, we’ll keep it *pop/afropop, clean, confident, and super sing-along*.".

---
1. *Theme*: Self-growth, friendship, no hate, just progress. Parents + teens both love it
