Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And Mother, I am sorry
I never pick up
Mmm-hmm
Because I'm afraid to disappoint
Ooh, ooh-ah
Ooh no
Hey, and I've been feelin' like I don't matter
How I used to
Hey, and I've been feelin' like I don't matter
How I used to
[Verse 2]
We were sat outside on the Harvard floor
With our feet in dirt and our hearts in awe
I be losin' sleep thinkin' 'bout missed calls
And I see the names circlin' our thoughts
And I think about if we lose it all
And I turn to shit that you'd never want
Like to smoke, to drink, anything at all
And I'll say again "Sorry I don't call"
There's no money on my mind
But my money or my mind
What's the first to fall?
I never wanted this shit
Hey
Hey, and I've been feelin' like I don't matter
How I used to
Hey, and I've been feelin' like I don't matter
How I used to
[Verse 3]
Sometimes it be so spot on it hurts
Like when Auntie couldn't decide
Between goin' to work or church
I've been in my feelings
On an island in the dirt
I feel like brothers lie
Just so my feelin's don't get hurt
I said ,"I'll try vacationin'"
I'll try to run away
I deleted Facebook
I'll trade fame any day
For a quiet Texas place
And a barbecue plate
I'll switch my place if that's good for you
Is that good for you?
My ghost still haunt ya
My life is I, Tonya
A big-eyed monster
Only face to conquer
I hated songs about fame
'Cause that stuff meant nothin'
Until them headlines came
The first flight I'm stuck in
[Verse 4]
And maybe it means nothin'
But I have to say I think about you often
And if you want no part with me
I'll walk away, I know that I have wronged you
And maybe it means nothin'
But I have to say I think about you often
And if you want no part with me
I'll walk away, I know that I have wronged you
[Verse 5]
I took a plane to somewhere that I've never been
Too many times without my sister and my brother
Dad or mother by my side but they're in spirit
I always hear it
I know they feel it
My mama always had these dreams
They used to keep her up at night
I smoke to keep them all away
And make use of the time
I'm void of feelin'
The reasons I'm so out of touch
Now start revealin'
But I'm not ashamed
I'm not afraid of who I am
Or how I trust my mental
Yeah, it's not perfect, but I guess that' just the shit I'm into
I fantasize about a time when everything was simple
My shelter sheltered me from things
I needed to commit to
The way it stands to me
A victim of Stockholm in my friendships and family
[Verse 6]
What's costin' you time?
What's the reason that you whine?
What's in your wallet?
Dead whites in mine
So sour
In this light of lime
Daddy says, "Study or get that cash"
Mommy said, "Your career ain't goin' last"
Loose change, call a cab
Move out their pad
I just need chance to move
Past my past
Don't think too fast
Private jets still crash
And I still fly coach
And I still hit a roach
And I still see roaches at the crib
Where my folks still
Touch your dreams
'Fore you touch me and provoke a man
(Somebody's gonna have to tell the truth and I'm gonna tell it)
[Verse 7]
I will
I will
I don't matter
Ahh
Can I tell you how?
Can I tell you now?
