Bare With Me

(album: Bank Statement - 2022)

I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I'm gonna be something

So bare with me
Don't bury me
So bare with me
Don't bury me
Before I'm something

I was just a young lil' black girl
On my grind for diamonds and pearls
Flow so sick, man, I might hurl
Out grind everyone 'fore they give me the world
But, yeah God, let it be, I got the energy
I'm representing you, I ain't your enemy
Putting in work like there's ten of me
Do it for my young Gs and the family
And I'm far from perfect, any beat, I merk it
Say they want the heat, warm it up and I serve it
Talking on my name like I don't deserve it
Like I got all of this success from twerking
Know I'ma win, getting it in, all that I bring
From the looks to the sound, I gave them everything
I'ma always speak my truth, it's coming straight from within
For my girls in the school and my boys on the wing (Ayy)

I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I'm gonna be something

So bare with me
Don't bury me
So bare with me
Don't bury me
Before I'm something

They just see me shining, they don't know about the pain
There's some shit I been through I can't talk about again
They knew me in the hood before I had a music name
So just gimme the money, give a fuck about the fame
I remember the days that I didn't have shit
Got it out the dirt, some time it hurts to reminisce
Used to pissy lifts, council housing benefits
Now I'm in a high rise, forty floors inna dis
I'm just tryna be great but time don't wait
Had a lot up on my plate, but I couldn't make weight
Every time I talk to 'em make sure it penetrates
Private number plate, but I let God navigate
Look, I been confused and been abused, I can't lose
I've done every move, bit of swiping, moved food
Said I would end up dead or in jail, but I refuse
When freedom's on the table tell me what would you choose?

I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I'm gonna be something

So bare with me
Don't bury me
So bare with me
Don't bury me
Before I'm something

Don't bury me
Don't bury me
Don't bury me
Don't bury me
