[Intro] 
EbmBbm
  x2
[Verse 1]
       Ebm
I was three years old
All I wanted was the music and
    Bbm
My parents were doing everything they could
         Ebm
To move away from our place working over time always
        Bbm
While I sat up in my grandma's
 Bbm
Project building coloring, oh
[Bridge 1]
Ebm
Moved to a small town and
                       Bbm
Started to, started to grow
Bbm                                  Ebm
Poetry written, I’m singing and dancing, oh
Ebm
Photographs, painting, cartoons
Bbm
That's all I know
Bbm
That's all I know, oh
[Verse 2]
Ebm
I have one best friend to this very fucking day
             Bbm
Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away
          Ebm
I wish I never did cause
Ebm
She’s the only one who sees me
     Bbm
For who I really am instead of how many I reach, oh
[Bridge 2]
Ebm                                       Bbm
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young
                                             Ebm
Gave them the benefit of the doubt, I was so wrong
Ebm                                           Bbm
I cut them off and they came for blood cause they know
Bbm
They ain't getting no more
[Chorus]
        Ebm
I’m so done with playing piggy back, oh
          Bbm
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best, oh
Ebm
You’re lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
           Bbm
When you could never come close cause
Bbm
I know my destiny
           Ebm
I worked hard for my shit
Ebm
Put my love in this shit
            Bbm
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
Bbm
What is this?
         Ebm
Tried to help you do your shit
Ebm
Encouraged you to work on it
       Bbm
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage
[Verse 3]
        Ebm
Now I’m 22 and I've had a crazy year of
Bbm
Isolation from all the plastic people here
           Ebm
I cannot wait for the day
Ebm
I can finally move away
         Bbm
Back to New York City where
Bbm
The realest people really stay, oh
[Bridge 3]
Ebm
Oh, spent this whole time writing
                     Bbm
Away my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself
                              Ebm
With have hearts filled with gold
                                          Bbm
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close
Bbm
Trying to learn and evolve
[Chorus]
        Ebm
I’m so done with playing piggy back, oh
          Bbm
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best, oh
Ebm
You’re lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
           Bbm
When you could never come close cause
Bbm
I know my destiny
           Ebm

Ebm
Put my love in this shit
            Bbm
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
