Kid (Original Voice Memo) Lyrics

Down in the house where I was born

In the basement was I stored

And I didn't know how

To really talk to anybody

When I was just a little girl

Told I acted like a girl

And that didn't make, uh

Any sense to anybody

Cuz' I was groomed into the church

Told to live that I must work

Told to live that I must

Get a job and love somebody

When I acted out I was told

Know you can to better, kid

Knew I couldn't cuz' I

Wouldn't want to anyway

I was a real dishonest kid

Lied to parents what I did

Though what I did

Did not compare to the worst body

I only lied just to survive

If I told those boys my side

Of the story I'd get

Beaten up bloody and gory

Cuz' I'm a really girly girl

I am woman I can twirl

I can dress however I want to

I love my body

Kid, my advice to you is this

Don't let people bully out

Your beautiful soul

It clearly is impressionable, oh

Eat just whatever you want to

But make sure you eat your fruit

And your vegetables

Or in some years, you'll feel like garbage

Kid, I know you want to resist

Love from anyone but you

Can't live like that forever

Although you really want to

Babe, I know just what it is like

To hate yourself want to die

Please don't do it cuz'

You aren't even close to having bloomed yet

Love, there's no god all up above

But your mother is the earth

And she will cry if you do

Want to die because she loves you

In the chapel in the church

They will sell you lies that lurk

In your brain for hours

Am I really goin' to heaven

Kid, pick your battles and your wits

Won't get crushed down by your own

If you are a dog, then

You must go and reclaim your bone

Take it back from those who hate

I beg you don't take their bait

I beg you to love your friends

And get some hugs in return

I will send my blessing, friend

Believe that you can win

I am so proud of the journey

You have taken today

Babe, I love what you really do

If you don't hear that enough

Just repeat these words

Inside your head to yourself darlin

La. Lalalalalalala
