GLASS WALLS

(album: THE SCANDAL - 2019)

You don't like the way I talk
Or the way I dress
You're not impressed
You praying down on my success
Wondering why I'm the blessed one
I used to come to you, I told you I was broken
You told me it was normal, that ain't fucking normal
I was hoping you'd offer up strength to your girl
But God knows what I need
You were never what I needed
Y'all were never what I needed
I'm just glad that now I see it

Never really a time where I don't have
A lot on my mind, I just shut it out
I love all the quiet I can get around here
Don't care what they say, I'ma be proud of me
I don't really care about the bitches doubting me
I know they'll always try, try to shut me down
Try to count me out

But I'm living in my own world, making all the rules
I deserve peace, yeah, I paid my dues
I deserve bags like ten feet tall
I deserve a crib with the all-glass walls
I deserve love that pick up any time that I call
You think that I'm pretty, damn, you should see my soul
You should see my past
You should see the days so low they could have been my last
But they don't see that
They just see the glitz and the glam, damn
But they don't see that
They just see the glitz and the glam, damn

Never really a time where I don't have
A lot on my mind, I just shut it out
I love all the quiet I can get around here
Don't care what they say, I'ma be proud of me
I don't really care about the bitches doubting me
I know they'll always try, try to shut me down
Try to count me out

Take a break from the chaos bae
Promise we can take a day off, bae
I'm just tryna clear my mind
Tryna keep that high when I'm caught off stage
I'm a star, I'ma soar 'til I'm sore, 'til I can't no more
I'm in outer space
I'm in outer space, I'm in outer space, yeah

Never really a time where I don't have
A lot on my mind, I just shut it out
I love all the quiet I can get around here
Don't care what they say, I'ma be proud of me
I don't really care about the bitches doubting me
I know they'll always try, try to shut me down
Try to count me out

Living in my own world, making all the rules
Making all the rules, making all the rules
I deserve peace, yeah, I paid my dues (Paid my dues)
I deserve a crib with the all-glass walls
All-glass walls (Living in my own world)
All-glass walls (Living in my own...)
