[00:07.70] I was three years old, all I wanted was the music

[00:11.86] And my parents were doing everything they could

[00:15.74] To move away from our place, working overtime always

[00:20.14] While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring

[00:24.92] Oh, moved to a small town and started to, started to grow

[00:30.98] Poetry written, I'm singing and dancing, oh

[00:35.13] Photographs, painting, cartoons

[00:36.76] That's all I know, that's all I know, oh

[00:40.82] I have one best friend to this very fucking day

[00:44.62] Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away

[00:48.86] I wish I never did 'cause she's the only one who sees me

[00:53.57] For who I really am instead of how many I reach, oh

[00:59.95] Trusted too many fake people while I was still young

[01:03.94] Gave them the benefit of the doubt, I was so wrong

[01:08.26] I cut them off and they came for blood 'cause they know

[01:11.61] They ain't getting no more

[01:14.04] I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh-oh

[01:17.93] Swear to god, I wished y'all all the best, oh

[01:22.61] You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me

[01:25.71] When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny

[01:30.65] I worked hard for my shit, put my love in this shit

[01:34.64] Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame, what is this?

[01:38.74] Tried to help you do your shit, encouraged you to work on it

[01:42.98] Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

[01:47.04] Now I'm 22 and I've had a crazy year of isolation

[01:52.54] From all the plastic people here

[01:55.10] I cannot wait for the day I can finally move away

[01:59.52] Back to New York City where the realest people really stay

[02:04.02] Oh, spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul

[02:10.31] The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold

[02:14.45] Love and empathy are things that we hold so close

[02:17.64] Trying to learn and evolve

[02:20.17] I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh-oh

[02:24.15] Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh

[02:28.83] You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me

[02:31.90] When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny

[02:36.73] I worked hard for my shit, put my love in this shit

[02:40.63] Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame, what is this?

[02:44.92] Tried to help you do your shit, encouraged you to work on it

[02:49.07] Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

[03:01.78] I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh

[03:05.91] Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh

[03:10.84] You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me

[03:14.18] When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny
