[Verse 1]

Oh my god, what am I doing to myself

Bouncing off all the walls like a boomerang

Lock myself in the booth like a runaway

Maybe I, guess that I, I got shit to say


[Pre-Chorus]

I ain't the messy type but you ain't seen my petty side

I try to redefine the hurt that made me hold my pride

Losing count of all the times that I had to cry

And dry my tears, [?], 'cause I have to try

No I don't need a hand, why you asking?

Let it go, where were you when I was grafting?

Cut the talk, know your type, know your type

On my own, I'mma bounce, I'mma shine


[Chorus]

My momma told me from the [?]

[?], that’s my calling

I'm even glowing in the dark

It's from my hеart, not because I’m dark skinned

I hеar the whispers in the house, all the same shit

But I will let go [?], I'mma change it

My momma told me from the [?]

It's from my heart not because I’m dark skinned


[Verse 2]

I can see, future girls right in front of me

Look at her, from the south, now she on TV

And I won't, won’t be judged by society

Hold it down, going hard to the death of me


[Pre-Chorus]

I ain't the messy type but you ain't seen my petty side

I try to redefine the hurt that made me hold my pride

Losing count of all the times that I had to cry

And dry my tears, [?], cause I have to try

No I don't need a hand, why you asking?

Let it go, where were you when I was grafting?

Cut the talk, know your type, know your type

On my own, I'mma bounce, I'mma shine


[Chorus]

My momma told me from the [?]

[?], that's my calling

I'm even glowing in the dark

It's from my heart, not because I'm dark skinned

I hear the whispers in the house, all the same shit

But I will let go [?], I'mma change it

My momma told me from the [?]

It's from my heart, not because I'm dark skinned


[Outro: ]

[?] your generation

Go and do what you do best

Don't let anybody tell you [?]

And his words were: Don't- Anything that you have in your mind and you think this is a good idea, don't be talked out of it
