Yeah, yeah,

I don't cry in public

I can't let y'all see me down, I'm tryna

stop the flooding

I can't let y'all see me drown, I swear it's all or nothing

I'm tryna make my people proud, this shit ain't all for nothin'

I know my time comin', yeah, uh

Too many emotions, can't tell you how I feel I been goin' through the motions, I been tryna heal

Feel like I can't trust no one but my baby and my steel

Yeah

And she always keep it real

I been kickin' it with a baddie, know we keep it private

I wish them folks could see me now because so many doubted

I been tryna clear my mind, sometimes my vision cloudy

I wish I had some better days, been tryna change the climate

All my life I had to fight, my favorite color, favorite purple

I told them folks, turn on the lights, like I ain't got no curfew

I put my thoughts inside the mic, I got no one to turn to

Like, who am I gon' vent to? No, they use bad shit against you

Yeah, yeah, ayy

Please keep it 1K with me

I know I said I love you, if you love me, you gon' pray for me

I swear sometimes I feel alone, I need you to come stay with me

Feel like this shit is breaking me, yeah

But I still don't cry in public

I can't let y'all see me down, I'm tryna

stop the flooding

I can't let y'all see me drown, I swear it's all or nothing

I'm tryna make my people proud, this shit ain't all for nothin'

I know my time comin', yeah, uh

Too many emotions, can't tell you how I feel I been goin' through the motions, I been tryna heal

Feel like I can't trust no one but my baby and my steel

Yeah

And she always keep it real

I don't always be alone but I still feel alone

I can smile when it's time, but it ain't lasting long

I guess I had to slow it down, I had to mute the phone

It's just a phase that I'm dealin' with

Lost in my thoughts, but keep talkin

Cause I'm listenin',

Nevertheless, I took some time away

But how much time is left?

I spent my money on everybody, but none for myself

I was here to fill a void, now I feel a void

Look

Traumatized, abandoned, got me losin' all my sanity

The way I feel right now, I think I'm goin' against my gravity

I'm patchin' up my scars, I'm still healin' from my past

And I don't wanna mess it up, I really hope I make it last

22 on the 12th, self-made, independent, do it by yourself

Clear the dance floor and say the last dance, the spotlight on you

Now I'm wishin' you can take my hand, what about you?

I don't cry in public

I can't let y'all see me down, I'm tryna

stop the flooding

I can't let y'all see me drown, I swear it's all or nothing

I'm tryna make my people proud, this shit ain't all for nothin'

I know my time comin', yeah, uh

Too many emotions, can't tell you how I feel I been goin' through the motions, I been tryna heal

Feel like I can't trust no one but my baby and my steel

Yeah

And she always keep it real
