Pretty Girls

(album: phAses - 2019)

(Melii)

Throw ya middle finger in the air
I've been full aware
I don't let no hater take me there
Knowing all the struggles got me here
Throw ya middle finger in the air
I've been full aware
I don't let no hater take me there
Knowing all the struggles got me here

I remember PS97, I was still a kid
Follow shorty in the bathroom
Bag over her head, sitting on the sink
Crying over bully but then it home
Telling shorty, "You are not alone"
Used to hide my face
Never knowing 'bout my fate
Almost took my life, who knew I'd be great?

Throw ya middle finger in the air
I've been full aware
I don't let no hater take me there
Knowing all the struggles got me here
Throw ya middle finger in the air
I've been full aware
I don't let no hater take me there
Knowing all the struggles got me here

Pretty pretty girl
Pretty pretty girl got the attention
Pretty pretty girl
Pretty pretty girl got the attention
Now, I'm no pretty girl
I'm no pretty girl, you forgot to mention
Pretty pretty girl
Pretty pretty girl got your attention

Now rest in peace to all the girls that done took their life
If you feel this way, hear me when I say it
Trust me, it will be alright
I used to be just like you
They gon' hate you, make some rumors 'bout you
See, then one day looking like you
Love yourself, fuck everybody else
You a star, ain't nobody like you

Throw ya middle finger in the air
I've been full aware
I don't let no hater take me there
Knowing all the struggles got me here
Throw ya middle finger in the air
I've been full aware
I don't let no hater take me there
Knowing all the struggles got me here

I ain't ever letting what you say get to me
I mean, where would I be? Where would I be?
Only my truth will set me free
It's the beauty in me, that's all I see

Throw ya middle finger in the air
I've been full aware
I don't let no hater take me there
Knowing all the struggles got me here
Throw ya middle finger in the air
I've been full aware
I don't let no hater take me there
Knowing all the struggles got me here

Pretty pretty girl
Pretty pretty girl got the attention
Pretty pretty girl
Pretty pretty girl got the attention
Now, I'm no pretty girl
I'm no pretty girl, you forgot to mention
Pretty pretty girl
Pretty pretty girl got your attention

Now rest in peace to all the girls that done took their life
