[Intro]

My baby left with a designer nigga with Prada flippers

Oh God, they drowning in the shallows

Watch it from the shadows

[Verse 1]

A rare occasion when I make confessions

Facing rejection ain't my favorite

Let alone breaking it to no strangers

On no instrumental, paint the mental scene

Beauty queen move that needle in my head

My feet don't get the message

How that closed mouth gone get feed

She done left with someone else

So now the pill you swallowing

Something must be wrong wit me

Swiss cheese confidences, what women see intrinsically

And niggas they respond to it

And I feel like I never really had it, or I'm just out of it

Don't feel bad for me

Cuz someone gotta play the fool

[Verse 2]

And it get worse when you compare yo self to other niggsas

That can turn to jealousy

Not ashamed to tell you, I've been there myself

To really think, the feeling of not feeling good enough was slowly killing me

And my dislike for envy, turned me to my biggest enemy

And thats me tryna hype myself up huh, silly me

(Silly me, silly me, silly me)

[Chorus]

(You ain't got no bravado)

I'ma just (bravado), I'ma just (bravado)

Tell myself no before you get the chance (bravado)

I'ma just (bravado)

I'ma just, tell myself no before you get the chance (bravado)

I'ma just (bravado), I'ma just (bravado)

Tell myself no before you get the chance (bravado)

I'ma just (bravado)

I'ma just, tell myself no

[Verse 2]

I think my sensitivity one day, gone be the death of me

I mean it be the simple things

It may just be the way I think

Sometimes I cringe at memories

A look could make us enemies

Wit me a vibe is everything

And mine is fragile, my ego tactile

Cuz I been cracked on, the black child

The one with the fat nose

You niggas got jokes, oh you mad now

I needed a back bone, so fade to black now

Where can't nobody roast

Cuz everything you say gone be the butt of someone jokes

The reason niggas think I'm strong and silent, hardly both

The reason why I bite my tongue the most

Felt like I knew what people thought of me

Before they even talked to me

That's if they'd even talk to me

Rejection wasn't lost one me

That's why I rap like it's Jesus bday

I gave niggas a voice, they had shit they needed to say

Shit you might needed to hear

Shine when people giving you shade

And be kind but don't shy away from no fade

You see I wrote this shit in pen just so you won't erase it

I learned this shit the hard way, itseem like the only way to

Learn the difference between growing and changing

Both can save ya

The only shit that can hurt you is, true in a way

[Outro/Alternative Chorus]

(Bravado)

Niggas ain't (bravado)

Niggas ain't (bravado)

Niggas ain't, laugh no more

(Bravado)

Niggas ain't (bravado)

Niggas ain't

Niggas ain't, laugh no more

(Bravado)

Niggas ain't (bravado)

Niggas ain't (bravado)

Niggas ain't, laugh no more

(Bravado)

Niggas ain't (bravado)

Niggas ain't

Niggas ain't, laugh no more
