[Verse 1]

Uh, I deserve sympathy, I deserve rights

I deserve mommy that tuck me in at night

When I find out that life doesn't owe me shit

Given that shit, I just wanna be liked

I just wanna be friends

I just want you to like me

I just feel like I'm lost

I just want you to find me

I know success is indefinite but I just want it to be likely

Like, I just wanna be Kylie, 'cause


[Chorus]

One like equals one care

And when it's dark time one like equals one flare

And when the stocks rise one like equals one share

And when my mom dies one like equals one prayer, like


[Verse 2]

Lemme compare

My mommy told me when she was a kid she thinks she was really, really popular

But I don't wanna just think that I'm popular

I wanna have more literal, tangible, fucking followers

Like, I really wanna see that shit

I really wanna be that shit

Put my phone on vibrate

Like, I really wanna feel that shit

I really wanna show my artistic side, my clever side

Bitch, get the fuck off my left, that's my better side

Yup, I'm destined for success, let's be honest

I'm chasing what successful people have in common

My life is a business I wanna own it and flaunt it

I can delete a flaw, it's not a rumor 'til it's a comment

And I'm not pretty until a stranger say it

And inside I might be sad but when I look in the mirror it doesn't reflect it back so lemme take a snap


[Refrain]

I don't wanna go unheard

I don't wanna go unseen

I don't wanna go outside

I'll give it all to you, just give it all to me

I don't wanna go unheard

I don't wanna go unseen

I don't wanna go outside

I'll give it all to you, just give it all to me

I'll give it all to you, just give it all to me

I'll give it all to you, just (Promise me that)


[Verse 3]

I promised her she looked good and she didn't buy it

She went back to the bathroom, I backed up and peeked inside it

Never seen her so focused painting her face with a brush

You can paint anything you want if you're creative enough, uh

Today she painted happy, took like an hour fifty

She wanna be a model to finally be pretty

Shit, why can't she do it? She know how to pose

Daddy doesn't get it, she say 'cause he's old

He say it's not a job unless it pays (Pays)

So she got photographer to shoot her as she lays (Lays)

On the bed, he gives her money and praise (Praise)

Pop it out, post it up, get your money, ayy

Oh, look at her bio, oh she a model slash fitness slash motivation slash queen slash entrepreneur so do not call her a ho

The classy shit did not get the attention that she hoped and she knows


[Chorus]

One like equals one care

And when it's dark time one like equals one flare

And when the stocks rise one like equals one share

And when my mom dies one like equals one prayer, and


[Verse 4]

When the rent's due one like equals couple grand

And the landlord is a hater if he doesn't understand

Fuck it, man, look at all the love that I get on command

I don't really be giving a fuck about what anybody saying to me anymore, look at me, mom, my life is a brand

My life is a prop, my life is a fluke

My life isn't mine, I give it to you

I don't even want it, I give it away

Look at my picture, don't look at my face

I paint myself so happy, I finalize the brushes

I sell myself like a product, my private life is public

For everybody to see, everybody to stamp

Everybody except me, 'cause I don't know who I am

Everybody just judge and I get mad about it

As if I'm not the single fucking person who allowed it

And when I'm feelin' empty I'll be everyone except me

If you just accept me

Why can't you just accept me?

I could accept myself, by myself, but then you might forget me


[Refrain]

I don't wanna go unheard

I don't wanna go unseen

I don't wanna go outside

I'll give it all to you, just give it all to me

I don't wanna go unheard

I don't wanna go unseen

I don't wanna go outside

I'll give it all to you, just give it all to me

I'll give it all to you, just give it all to me

I'll give it all to you, just give it all to me
