Just wanna see a side space, wanna see my space
I know I won't be limited by race, age
I wanna see my face
I wanna see the corner of my face 
Not a place, pace, rage 
And I'm large and in charge, brave
I've come far, I've been hurt, pain
I got heart, I got bars, rain 
I got heart, I got bars

I know I'm in a corner
I know I'm falling over
Looking off my shoulder, ay
I never should've told ya
Now I'm falling over
No crossover, ay

Always tryna take my pride (pride)
Always wanna change my mind (mind)
Never wanna see me shine
Always wanna see my grind

Huh, said we 'sposed to fall
I don't really see us fall 
I think that you all tripping
Go, please close the door
But you outta know
We gon' break off of those hinges

I don't make the same 
Said the same shit
We not the same 
I don't make the same 
Said the same shit
We not the same 
I don't make the same 
Said the same shit
We not the same 
I don't make the same (and I'm)
Said the same shit
We not the same (stumbling, stumbling down)

I know I'm in a corner
I know I'm falling over
Looking off my shoulder, ay
I never should've told ya
I know I'm falling over
No crossover, ay

Always tryna take my pride (pride)
wanna try and change my mind (mind)
Never wanna see me shine
Always wanna see my grind

Huh, said we 'sposed to fall
I don't really see us fall 
I think that you all tripping
Go, please close the door
But you outta know
We gon' break off of those hinges

Why you wanna switch up who you are?
Why you always tryna find a better version?
Better than the last
Why you always bringing up the past
Why you never realise vision always blurry 'til it not
Ay, I never said it's easy
I never said you'll never stumble 
On the road, moonwalks breezy
Ay, always tunnel vision, 'memba with the headlights on 
See snakes with precision 

I don't make the same 
Said the same shit
We not the same 
I don't make the same 
Said the same shit
We not the same 

Huh, said we 'sposed to fall
I don't really see us fall 
I think that you all tripping
Go, please close the door
But you outta know
We gon' break off of those hinges

Huh, said we 'sposed to fall
I don't really see us fall 
I think that you all tripping
Go, please close the door
But you outta know
We gon' break off of those hinges
