Proud of Me (feat. Little Simz)

I've never been religious

Instead, my mom would shower me in kisses

Thirteen with a big dream

And daddy said I could be anything

So looked to the stars

Found an acoustic guitar

Started writing, wrote a couple songs and

People heard them, now they sing along

My friends used to say, "I bet you can't wait for the fame

Everyone's gonna know your face, mate"

Let me talk specifically, that don't mean shit to me

I wanna keep bits of me, to myself

I don't need your publicity, all up in my business

That right there is a sickness, keep it to yourselves

Further and farther, I wanna make you proud

Brothers and sisters, let me scream out loud

I love it all

I love it, yeah

Thank you for everything

I love it, yeah, yeah, yeah

I didn't just fall out of the sky

I've got stars in my eyes

I've had stars in my eyes for a

Many years while I was showed how

I was grown into the woman that I am now

Think of me as a blank sheet of paper

My life is mine, I am the creator

You don't own me, you're not my commentator

Oh, child, see I once had an idol

I got her voice a vinyl

And then she turned suicidal

Well, you see this business

Is all about survival of the fittest

If you don't go viral, you should quit it

I am the revival of the unfinished

You're my witness

Further and farther, I wanna make you proud

Brothers and sisters, let me scream out loud

I love it all

I love it, yeah

Thank you for everything

I love it, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you

Oh, thoughts more and more are distorted

I just pray I wake up in the morning

Shit ain't promised to all and we know this

But calling it quits is not in my calling

I don't need a penny to complete me, no

He should know

Now all of my elders and my teachers know

She is gold

Wonder has, it's always been my thesis, oh

T would know

What is this life that I lead?

This is the life of a G

Can I enlighten you please?

I don't ever fail to be like what they're all trying to be

You don't even know, I am the one you've been dying to meet

What are you finding beneath?

Lies dressed as honesty

Honestly you should follow me

Down a rabbit hole I go, I know

Change is scary

We call this life, so what, move on

I'll always give you the realness, it's tough

Love, we right above, Hyatt suite, where we's dreamed of

Further and farther, I wanna make you proud

Brothers and sisters, let me scream out loud

I love it all

I love it, yeah

Thank you for everything

I love it, yeah, yeah, yeah
