Intro: (x2) verse 1 I was three years old All I wanted was the music and My parents were doing everything they could To move away from our place working over time always While I sat up in my grandma's Project building coloring, oh Bridge 1 Moved to a small town and Started to, started to grow Poetry written, I’m singing and dancing, oh Photographs, painting, cartoons That's all I know That's all I know, oh verse 2 I have one best friend to this very fucking day Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away I wish I never did cause She’s the only one who sees me For who I really am instead of how many I reach, oh Bridge 2 Trusted too many fake people while I was still young Gave them the benefit of the doubt, I was so wrong I cut them off and they came for blood cause they know They ain't getting no more I’m so done with playing piggy back, oh Swear to god I wished y’all all the best, oh You’re lying your way to try to gain a piece of me When you could never come close cause I know my destiny I worked hard for my shit Put my love in this shit Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame What is this? Tried to help you do your shit Encouraged you to work on it Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage verse 3 Now I’m 22 and I've had a crazy year of Isolation from all the plastic people here I cannot wait for the day I can finally move away Back to New York City where The realest people really stay, oh Bridge 3 Oh, spent this whole time writing Away my heart and my soul The people I surround myself With have hearts filled with gold Love and empathy are things that we hold so close Trying to learn and evolve I’m so done with playing piggy back, oh Swear to god I wished y’all all the best, oh You’re lying your way to try to gain a piece of me When you could never come close cause I know my destiny I worked hard for my shit Put my love in this shit Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame What is this? Tried to help you do your shit Encouraged you to work on it Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage Instrumental I’m so done with playing piggy back, oh Swear to god I wished y’all all the best, oh You’re lying your way to try to gain a piece of me When you could never come close cause I know my destiny
