Just Like Jay

(album: All Monsters Are Human - 2020)

I ain't even wanna do this album, nah
It was so damn hard to get in my zone
I was taking care of everybody 'round me
When I was down, battling, thrown, they all gone
In a world where you tell the truth and they call you crazy for it, yeah
Stand on my own two as I walk through it
They say I always claim somebody did me wrong
I should get over it, toughen up and move on (Move on)

Maybe you'll realize when I'm gone
That this was about more than some songs (Da, da, da-da)
This was about way more than the charts
This here was right here from my heart, hey

Where is the love? (Where is the love?) 'Cause they not giving me none
What have I done (What have I done?) to make them hate me so much?
It's been so tough (It's been so tough) it made me wanna give up
Crucified for my mistakes, make me wanna walk away

Maybe I should walk away, fade to black just like Jay, ooh
'Cause y'all don't love me anyway, so I'll fade to black just like Jay

I walked away from Atlantic 'cause they wanted me to be Mary J.
And the whole time I was thinking, "Who the hell gon' be K?"
Tubes coming out my back, laying sick in my bed
Meanwhile, my man was out with his ex instead
For the first time I wished myself dead
My wounds covered, but I still bled
They say I always claim somebody did me wrong
I should get over it, toughen up and move on (Move on)

Maybe you'll realize when I'm gone
That this was about more than some songs (Da, da, da-da)
This was about way more than the charts
This here was right here from my heart, hey

Where is the love? (Where is the love?) 'Cause they not giving me none
What have I done (What have I done?) to make them hate me so much?
It's been so tough (It's been so tough) it made me wanna give up
Crucified for my mistakes, make me wanna walk away

Sometimes I feel like I don't wanna deal with life and
Expectations people have for me, yeah
As strong as I may be, right now I'm feeling weak
The weight of the world seems so heavy, yeah
Even if I'm perfect, they will still curse me, yeah
Somehow make me the blame for walking away
Where is the love? 'Cause they not giving me none
What have I done to make them hate me so much? (Ooh, woah)
Been so tough, it made me wanna give up
Crucified for my mistakes, make me wanna walk away

Where is the love? (Where is the love?) 'Cause they not giving me none
What have I done (What have I done?) to make them hate me so much?
It's been so tough (It's been so tough) it made me wanna give up
Crucified for my mistakes, make me wanna walk away

Maybe I should walk away, fade to black just like Jay, ooh
'Cause y'all don't love me anyway, so I'll fade to black just like Jay
