lyrics

(This is a note to self, note to self, note to self, this is a)

Think you can leave me and come back and think I'll be here
Baby that's not how it works because I'm not your girl
To think your arrogance would complement my appearance
Your idiocy is plain to see, it makes me hurl

Well my mama said (Leave him!)
My daddy said (Leave him!)
My brother said (Leave him!)
So I think I will!

I wish I could turn back time
Look myself in the eye
Tell myself, "Girl, you're fine!
Fuck them niggas, ease your mind!
Them boys won't pay your bills
Chase the real shit, get your thrill
Live your life, that's part of the deal
They want a slave girl, just stay off the field!"

I deserve better for myself
And I won't be afraid to ask for help
The real ones will stand behind me
The fake ones will leave
They digging my grave but
I'm planting my seed

Get it, get it, girl
I'm in it to win it girl
I ain't gonna quit on myself til I'm spinning in my grave
I got what you crave
I'm here to pave the way
So please get off my wave unless you with me

Girl, you're special, you deserve to have the best
You gon' glow up, you gon' grow up
You won't let nobody press you, unh
Don't let nobody drag you into their own mess
I hope you get to relax and let go of all that stress

Girl, don't you know that you will be successful?
You gon' blow, let em know that I told you so
How many me's you know? That get fly from head to toe
Just let them know that you want more
And you will get it!

Get it, get it, we won't stop til you wit it
We gon' rise to the top, take our spot
You ain't gotta act surprised, just open your eyes
Realize you got the prize inside, you will survive in time, girl!

(You will be okay) Keep your head up, head up
Get your bread up, bread up
And don't fall for setups, setups
(You are so brave) Look at you in that getup
Tryna go out girl, finna get wet up
Know they gon' doubt me, I'mma get fed up

Ugh, these lames always wanna snooze on me
Then they wanna come and peek
Mothafucka just stay sleep!
You talk too much shit like you mouthwash with fleet
Now you lyin' through your teeth
Bitch, you stink! Wash your feet!
(Woo-sah!)

But despite that, I ignore em'
And one day I'll be touring
And I will trade my metro for a foreign (Nyoom!)
No more overcrowded trains, or walking ten blocks in the rain
I got a vision clear as day
So I know that I can't stop now!
