Ebm   Bbmx2
[Verse 1]
I was tEbmhree years old
All I wanted was the music and
My pBbmarents were doing everything they could
To move aEbmway from our place working over time always
While I Bbmsat up in my grandma's
PBbmroject building coloring, oh
[Bridge 1]
EbmMoved to a small town and
Started to, started to Bbmgrow
BbmPoetry written, I’m singing and danciEbmng, oh
EbmPhotographs, painting, cartoons
BbmThat's all I know
BbmThat's all I know, oh
[Verse 2]
EbmI have one best friend to this very fucking day
Since we were Bbmfive years old and I fucking moved away
I wish I nEbmever did cause
EbmShe’s the only one who sees me
For wBbmho I really am instead of how many I reach, oh
[Bridge 2]
EbmTrusted too many fake people while I was sBbmtill young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt, I was so Ebmwrong
EbmI cut them off and they came for blood cause tBbmhey know
BbmThey ain't getting no more
[Chorus]
I’m so dEbmone with playing piggy back, oh
Swear to gBbmod I wished y’all all the best, oh
EbmYou’re lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
When you coBbmuld never come close cause
BbmI know my destiny
I worked haEbmrd for my shit
EbmPut my love in this shit
Now you’re tBbmrying to kill my name for some fame
BbmWhat is this?
Tried to Ebmhelp you do your shit
EbmEncouraged you to work on it
Was a gBbmood friend and you used that to your advantage
[Verse 3]
Now I’m Ebm22 and I've had a crazy year of
BbmIsolation from all the plastic people here
I cannot waEbmit for the day
EbmI can finally move away
Back to NBbmew York City where
BbmThe realest people really stay, oh
[Bridge 3]
EbmOh, spent this whole time writing
Away my heart and my Bbmsoul
The people I surround myself
With have hearts filled with gEbmold
Love and empathy are things that we hold sBbmo close
BbmTrying to learn and evolve
[Chorus]
I’m so dEbmone with playing piggy back, oh
Swear to gBbmod I wished y’all all the best, oh
EbmYou’re lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
When you coBbmuld never come close cause
BbmI know my destiny
I worked haEbmrd for my shit
EbmPut my love in this shit
Now you’re tBbmrying to kill my name for some fame
BbmWhat is this?
