[Bridge]

Like there's some things that y'all just can't know about me

Some things I just don't know how to express

But I'm learning how to express some things

Other things I just don't know how to

For example... Well, if you listen you'll understand

Look


[Chorus]

I reminisce days where I used to get mocked at (What)

I'm telling them stop that (Ok)

I got bullied so much that I ain't even talk back (Huh)

Left the class with no hall pass (Let's go)

And I thought to myself

What did I even do to deserve all the pain that I get now

So then camе perfect timing

I started my writing (Yеah)

And it kinda felt like a get out (Yeah)


[Verse]

See I come from a place where one thing leaves a trace

And your face gets caught up in the system (That's facts)

Never lived in the hood, I grew up with kids

Who ain't know the true meaning of rhythm (Haha)

But they gave me a rough time and a tough time

Yet they had some respect for my brother (Like who)

Calling him dumb fine and the sunshine (Woo)

I think it's got to do wit my color (Ok)

Growing up I had to listen to comparisons (Wait what)

Called me adopted cuz I don't got the same melanin (That's wack)

Had to look past just to show that I'm ahead of them

I'm stuck inside a town where everybody gets too arrogant (Ok)

I'm done wit the fake

Been hurting too long to sit here and wait (Ok)

I'm writing a few songs I got what it takes

Been doing what you want

I'm changing the game

Listen to the pain (What's up)

How you think it feel to grow up in a world

Where everybody automatically hate you (Huh)

How you think it feel to be judged by your color

Living life while living under a label


[Chorus]

I reminisce days where I used to get mocked at (What)

I'm telling them stop that (Yes sir)

I got bullied so much that I ain't even talk back (Ok)

Left the class with no hall pass (Uh)

And I thought to myself

What did I even do to deserve all the pain that I get now (Like what)

So then came perfect timing

I started my writing

And it kinda felt like a get out (Yes sir)


[Verse 2]

I said uh

Real talk what you know bout' me (What)

That I know how to hoop

And that I gotta killer three? (Swish)

That you can toss the mic

And I would rap and go crazy (Yuh)

Why am I entertaining all of things that you see (Yuh)

Now there's more to me that you'd ever know (Woah)

I'm not trying to be exceptional (Woah)

But the things you say got me skeptical (Woah)

About how to reach a different level

I'm not gon' keep a shorter story (Uh huh)

Two-time division champ in oratory (Whoo)

Pastors kid in a church singing glory glory (Yuh)

While y'all drunk being kids

Mix of Rick and Morty (Oh my)

See I'm different shorty

They adore me

I've never sipped a 40

I'm too sporty

I don't know where it started

Broken hearted

Then I was in the car with

Trayvon Martin's brother (What)

We ain't know till that story got out

Had to watch his grieving mother (Yeah)

How come death really bringing up our clout (Uh huh)

See I'm tryna reach up to a level

That's never been seen (Nerwm)

So I'm never gone back down (That's facts)


[Chorus]

I reminisce days where I used to get mocked at

I'm telling them stop that (Ok)

I got bullied so much that I ain't even talk back

Left the class with no hall pass (Yes sir)

And I thought to myself

What did I even do to deserve all the pain that I get now (What you do)

So then came perfect timing

I started my writing

And it kinda felt like a get out (Yes sir)
