Proud of Me (feat. Little Simz)

Ive never been religious
Instead my mom has showered me in kisses
Thirteen with the big dream and
Daddy said I could be anything
So I looked to the stars
Found an acoustic guitar
Started learning
Wrote a couple songs and
People heard them
Now they sing along

My friends used to say
'I bet you cant wait for the fame
Everyones gonna know your face, mate'
Let me talk specifically
That dont me **** to me
I wanna keep bits of me
To myself
I dont need your publicity
All up in my business
That right there is a sickness
Keep it to yourselves

Mother and father
I wanna make you proud
Brothers and sisters
Let me scream out loud
I love you all
I love it, yeah
Thank you for everything
I love it, yeah yeah yeah

I didnt just fall out of the sky
Ive got stars in my eyes
Ive had stars in my eyes for many years while
I was showed how I was grown into the woman that I am now
Think of me as a blank sheet of paper
My life is mine, I am the creator
You dont own me, youre not my commentator
Oh, child, see I once had an idol
I got her voice on a vinyl
And then she turned suicidal

Well you see this business
Is all about survival of the fittest
If you dont go viral
You should quit it
I am the revival of the unfinished
Youre my witness
Mother and father
I wanna make you proud
Brothers and sisters
Let me scream out loud
I love you all
I love it , yeah
Thank you for everything
I love it, yeah yeah yeah

I love you, oh
Thoughts more and more are distorted
I just pray I wake up in the morning
**** aint promised to all and we know this
But calling it quits is not in my calling (no)
I dont need a penny to complete me, no
He should know
Let all of my elders and my teachers know
She is gold (she is gold)
Wonder has this always been my thesis
Oh, T would know
What is this life that I lead
This is the life of the G
Can I enlighten you please?
I dont ever feel to be like what theyre all trying to be
You dont even know
I am the one you been dying to meet
What are you finding beneath?
Lies dressed as honesty
Honestly you should follow me
Down the rabbit hole
I go, I know
Change is scary
We call this life
So what, move on
Ill always give you the realness, its tough love
We right above, Hyatt suite, what we always dreamed of

Mother and father
I wanna make you proud
Brothers and sisters
Let me scream out loud
I love you all
I love it, yeah
Thank you for everything
I love it, yeah yeah yeah
