I feel really blessed because of where I come from.

I just feel like I'm going to be criticized regardless of what I do next, so I might as well do something that I feel really passionate about.

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating.

They think that I was like Amy Grant, when actually no! The label went bankrupt and maybe sold a couple hundred records and that's about it. I was just trying different things.

You can get through it and you can land on your feet triumphantly and strong.

You can't be a full tranny every day of the week that's an exaggerated part of my personality.

Boom, boom, boom, Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon, It's always been inside of you, you, you And now it's time to let it through, ooh, ooh. Cause, baby, you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Oh! Oh! Oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y. Baby, you're a firework Come on, let your colors burst Make 'em go, "Oh! Oh! Oh!" You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own.
