I've never been religious
Instead my momma showered me in kisses
Thirteen with the big dream and
Daddy said I could be anything

So I looked to the stars
Found an acoustic guitar
Started learning
Wrote a couple songs and
People heard them
Now they sing along

My friends used to say
"I bet you can't wait for the fame
Everyone's gonna know your face, mate"
Let me talk specifically
That don't me shit to me
I wanna keep bits of me
To myself
I don't need your publicity
All up in my business
That right there is a sickness
Keep it to yourselves

Mother and father
I wanna make you proud
Brothers and sisters
Let me scream out loud
I love you all
I love it, yeah
Thank you for everything
I love it, yeah yeah yeah

I didn't just fall out of the sky
I've got stars in my eyes
I've had stars in my eyes for many years while
I was showed how I was grown into the woman that I am now

Think of me as a blank sheet of paper
My life is mine, I am the creator
You don't own me, you're not my commentator

Oh, child, see I once had an idol
I got her voice on a vinyl
And then she turned suicidal

Well you see this business
Is all about survival of the fittest
If you don't go viral
You should quit it
I am the revival of the unfinished
You're my witness

Mother and father
I wanna make you proud
Brothers and sisters
Let me scream out loud
I love you all
I love it, yeah
Thank you for everything
I love it, yeah yeah yeah

I love you, oh
Thoughts more and more are distorted
I just pray I wake up in the morning
Shit ain't promised to all and we know this
But calling it quits is not in my calling (no)
I don't need a penny to complete me, no
He should know
Let all of my elders and my teachers know
She is gold (she is gold)
Wonder has this always been my thesis, oh, T would know
What is this life that I lead
This is the life of the G
Can I enlighten you please?
I don't ever feel to be like what they're all trying to be
You don't even know
I am the one you were dying to meet
What are you finding beneath?
Lies dressed as honesty
Honestly you should follow me
Down the rabbit hole
I go, I know
Change is scary
We call this life
So what, move on
I'll always give you the realness, it's tough love
We right above, Hyatt suite, what we always dreamed of

Mother and father
I wanna make you proud
Brothers and sisters
Let me scream out loud
I love you all
I love it, yeah
Thank you for everything
I love it, yeah yeah yeah
