[Verse 1]
Oh my God
What am I doing to myself?
Bouncing off all the walls like a boomerang
Locked myself in the booth like a runaway
Maybe I
Guess yeah I, I got shit to say
[Verse 2]
I ain't the messy type but you ain't seen my petty side
I tried to re-define the hurt that made me hold my pride
Losing count of all the times that I had to cry
And dry my tears, pull up my socks 'cause I have to try
[Verse 3]
No, I don't need a hand
Why you asking?
Let it go
Where were you
When I was grafting
Cut the talk
Know your type, know your type
On my own
I'ma bounce, I'ma shine
[Verse 4]
My mamma told me from me born
Ray a star
That's my calling, yeah
I'm even glowing in the dark
It's from my heart
Not because I'm dark skin
I hear the whispers in the halls, all the same shit
But I won't echo all your flaws, I'ma change it
My mamma told me from me born
It's from my heart
Not because I'm dark-skinned
[Verse 5]
I can see future goals right in front of me
Look at her, from the south, now she on TV
And I won't, wont be judged by society
Hold it down, goin' hard til the death of me
[Verse 6]
I ain't the messy type but you ain't seen my petty side
I tried to re-define the hurt that made me hold my pride
Losing count of all the times that I had to cry
And dry my tears, pull up my socks 'cause I have to try
[Verse 7]
No, I don't need a hand
Why you asking?
Let it go
Where was you when I was grafting?
Cut the talk
Know your type, know your type
On my own
I'ma bounce, I'ma shine
[Verse 8]
My mamma told me from me born
Ray a star
That's my calling, yeah
I'm even glowing in the dark
It's from my heart
Not because I'm dark skin
I hear the whispers in the halls, all the same shit
But I won't echo all your flaws, I'ma change it
My mamma told me from me born
It's from my heart
Not because I'm dark-skinned
