Hey You

(album: Scared Of Heights - 2021)

Took the knife out the back and she cut through her wrist
Everything hurts, didn't wanna exist
She was faded and lost, she became the abyss
I was born in the blood with the name on my lips
Screaming, "Fuck what all that you want from me
Y'all don't even know Nova Leigh"
I'm back for everything they stole from me
Stop telling me who I'm supposed to be
They want broke Nova, they want sad Nova
They want all the smoke until I rap Nova
They want cute Nova, they want bad Nova
They want all the things, they can't have Nova
I'm a new Nova, I'm a rich Nova
I'm a start a fire and kill rip Nova
I'm the same Nova, I'm insane Nova
You won't ever, ever, ever change Nova
I'm a gravedigger, I'm a flamethrower
I'm a pretty bitch with no makeover
I'm a diamond chain behind a violent brain
Tryna hide the pain before it takes over
It ain't safe
Y'all ain't built for how I'm made
I'm constructed from destruction
You can build me till it breaks

Hey you, do you like me now?
Are you in love with somebody I was?
Hey you, do you see me 'round
And hate the person that I've become?
Hey you, do you like my style?
I stole it from somebody I killed
Hey you, do you like my smile?
I got it from the blood that I spilled

I was a young Nova, real dumb Nova
Pull up at your house with a gun Nova
Now I'm grown Nova, bought a home Nova
Planting money trees, watch 'em grow Nova
With a cold shoulder, you gotta know Nova
Fuck your whole squad, I'm a lone soldier
And I've grown older into a smart Nova
And I'm only taking money to the heart Nova
I'm a super Nova, money stupid Nova
Get a bag and never lose it Nova
I'm slim Nova, I'm Wu-Nova
Killed the old me, I'm the true Nova
It ain't safe
I'm too real for all these fakes
Y'all constructed without something
They gave me when I was made

Hey you, do you like me now?
Are you in love with somebody I was?
Hey you, do you see me 'round
And hate the person that I've become?
Hey you, do you like my style?
I stole it from somebody I killed
Hey you, do you like my smile?
I got it from the blood that I spilled

Do you know what? Though I'mma catch you when you fall
Pick yourself up off the bathroom floor, you hadn't lost at all
Lean over, pick your phone up when they call
Learn to joke and all the tears and in the place just smile and nod

"Hey how you been? I'm great"

Hey you, do you like me now?
Are you in love with somebody I was?
Hey you, do you see me 'round
And hate the person that I've become?
Hey you, do you like my style?
I stole it from somebody I killed
Hey you, do you like my smile?
I got it from the blood that I spilled
