Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Young and colored in America
Tell me, who gon' wanna stare at ya'?
Tell me, who gon' call you beautiful?
If it isn't you yourself, I know
[Verse 2]
Young and colored in America
Got a couple things I need to say
Know you'd never love me as I am
America, I wanna bury ya'
[Verse 3]
Big smile when I make a mess (Woo)
Big smile when I put my chain on
Big smile when I lose a friend (Woo)
Big smile with the double chin
[Verse 4]
Big smile when I make a mess (Yeah)
Big smile when I put my chain on (Woo)
Big smile when I lose a friend
Big smile with the double chin
[Verse 5]
I wanna be the best of all time, baby
Still insecure about my height, baby
Oh please, you're fuckin' up my high, baby
Whole wide mess, I'm a whole wide mess
[Verse 6]
Young and colored in America
Young Gelato, main character
Unreliable narrator
America, I wanna marry ya'
[Verse 7]
I would love to love you
Now I think I hate you (Woo)
[Verse 8]
(I would love to love you)
(Now i think i hate you)
[Verse 9]
Bitch, I'm a star (I would love to love you)
And I'm super-super pretty
I go crazy in the paint (Now I think i hate you)
Don't got nothing in the bank, yeah
[Verse 10]
Bitch, I'm a star (I would love to love you)
And I'm super-super pretty
I go crazy in the paint (Now I think i hate you)
I go crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
[Verse 11]
Buzzcut baby with the boxing gloves
Wanna be like Prince with the flock of doves
Got a Marlboro habit that I can't afford
Got Pad see ew with the extra pork
[Verse 12]
Got overdrafted, then I got some more
I'll take your man 'cause I feel like it
Gave him back 'cause I feel like it
This boylife world, sincerely yours
[Verse 13]
Gelato, melt away
Young Gelato, say a prayer
[Verse 14]
Young Gelato, melt away
Young Gelato, say a prayer
[Verse 15]
Young Gelato, melt away
Young Gelato, say a prayer
[Verse 16]
Young Gelato, melt away
Young Gelato, say a prayer
[Verse 17]
(Young Gelato, melt away) I was speeding it, baby, mach 10
(Young Gelato, say a prayer) I was speeding it, baby, mach 10
I was flooring it like I wanna die young
I was flooring it like I wanna die young
[Verse 18]
Bitch, I'm a star
And I'm super-super pretty
I go crazy in the paint
Don't got nothing in the bank, ooh
[Verse 19]
Bitch, I'm a star
And I'm super-super pretty
I go crazy in the paint
Don't got nothing in the bank
[Verse 20]
Big smile when I make a mess
Big smile when I make a mess
