Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I just wanna be something

Take it easy on me

Love is meant to breathe not break, oh

I'm gonna be something

[Verse 2]

So bare with me

Don't bury me

So bare with me

Don't bury me

Before I'm something

[Verse 3]

I was just a young lil' black girl

On my grind for diamonds and pearls

Flow so sick, man, I might hurl

Out grind everyone 'fore they give me the world

But, yeah God, let it be, I got the energy

I'm representing you, I ain't your enemy

Putting in work like there's ten of me

Do it for my young Gs and the family

And I'm far from perfect, any beat, I merk it

Say they want the heat, warm it up and I serve it

Talking on my name like I don't deserve it

Like I got all of this success from twerking

Know I'ma win, getting it in, all that I bring

From the looks to the sound, I gave them everything

I'ma always speak my truth, it's coming straight from within

For my girls in the school and my boys on the wing (Ayy)

[Verse 4]

I just wanna be something

Take it easy on me

Love is meant to breathe not break, oh

I'm gonna be something

[Verse 5]

So bare with me

Don't bury me

So bare with me

Don't bury me

Before I'm something

[Verse 6]

They just see me shining, they don't know about the pain

There's some shit I been through I can't talk about again

They knew me in the hood before I had a music name

So just gimme the money, give a fuck about the fame

I remember the days that I didn't have shit

Got it out the dirt, some time it hurts to reminisce

Used to pissy lifts, council housing benefits

Now I'm in a high rise, forty floors inna dis

I'm just tryna be great but time don't wait

Had a lot up on my plate, but I couldn't make weight

Every time I talk to 'em make sure it penetrates

Private number plate, but I let God navigate

Look, I been confused and been abused, I can't lose

I've done every move, bit of swiping, moved food

Said I would end up dead or in jail, but I refuse

When freedom's on the table tell me what would you choose?

[Verse 7]

I just wanna be something

Take it easy on me

Love is meant to breathe not break, oh

I'm gonna be something

[Verse 8]

So bare with me

Don't bury me

So bare with me

Don't bury me

Before I'm something

[Verse 9]

Don't bury me

Don't bury me

Don't bury me

Don't bury me
