Where we from, it go be okay

I ain't lost, I don't need no directions

Love showin' me the way

We gon' heal, we ain't asking permission

A part-time native on somebody else's land

These publications been trippin', I swear they don't understand

Pull pictures that fit the image like I ain't growin' up

How they tellin' my story when I don't know who I am

But I talk good, cover my insecurities, take another offer

Calming my anxiety, tell my mama it's all good

I feel the resentment from my homies and it's awkward

They see I'm losing my way, don't give a fuck that I'm sponsored

They wanna see me prosper, not just cop another dollar

They see the world I'm swimmin' in killing me, it's so toxic

Love sick, so sick of what I'm in love with

Patterns I'm fallin' victim to, can't help it

Abused power foolin' none but myself

I thought space would be good for my health

But I'm sick, mm-mm-mm

I'm so sick of being sick

Where we from, it go be okay

I ain't lost, I don't need no directions

Love showin' me the way

We gon' heal, we ain't asking permission

If you need me, I can stay

I ain't lost, I don't need no directions

Love showin' me the way

We gon' heal, we ain't asking permission

I ain't got time to waste, but I'm chasin' still

Fantasies of love I pray is real, tryna play the field

Lust fillin' my gaps, scatterin' my past

No trust splittin' homes like borders in the sand

No role models for real love

Every family that I grew up around broken and hella need love

So much dysfunction to speak of

Mama told me good men are rare, she countin' on me to be one

Too many vacant fathers run from theyselves

Afraid to face they mistakes and the lies that they tell

That's a firsthand experience

Secondhand for every cousin, sisters with different daddies who let 'em down, wonderin' why they leaving us

Cycles of this trauma is what they leaving us

World so cold we don't even believe in us

500 years and my people still ain't free enough

Somehow, we still gon' believe in love

Where we from, it go be okay

I ain't lost, I don't need no directions

Love showin' me the way

We gon' heal, we ain't asking permission

If you need me, I can stay

I ain't lost, I don't need no directions

Love showin' me the way

We gon' heal, we ain't asking permission

Runnin' out of ways I could take this

I know when I look into your eyes

We go float on when the waves hit

All this love lost, it's so exhausting

Run out of excuses and patience

I know when I take my time

I'll give a lil' more space for these changes

I feel like it's all changin'

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Sick of being sick, mmm

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

I'm so sick of all

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, mm, ooh, mm

Mm, mm
