      Am
I was three years old

All I wanted was the music and
   Em
My parents were doing everything 
they could
        Am
To move away from our place working 
over time always
        Em                    
While I sat up in my grandma's 
                            Am
project building coloring, oh

Moved to a small town and started 
               Em
to, started to grow
Poetry written, I'm singing and 
         Am
dancing, oh

Photographs, painting, cartoons
             Em
That's all I know

That's all I know, oh

       Am
I have one best friend to this very 
fucking day
              Em
Since we were five years old and I 
fucking moved away

         Am
I wish I never did cause she's the 
only one who sees me
    Em                             
For who I really am instead of how 
              Am
many I reach, oh

Trusted too many fake people while I
      Em
 was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt, 
      Am
I was so wrong
I cut them off and they came for 
            Em
blood cause they know

They ain't getting no more

       Am
I'm so done with playing piggy back,
 oh
         Em
Swear to god I wished y'all all the 
best, oh
       Am
You're lying your way to try to gain
 a piece of me
         Em
When you could never come close 
cause I know my destiny
         Am
I worked hard for my shit

Put my love in this shit
           Em
Now you're trying to kill my name 
for some fame

What is this?
         Am
Tried to help you do your shit

Encouraged you to work on it
      Em
Was a good friend and you used that 
to your advantage

        Am
Now I'm 22 and I've had a crazy year
 of
   Em
Isolation from all the plastic 
people here
         Am
I cannot wait for the day

I can finally move away
        Em                     
Back to New York City where the 
                             Am
realest people really stay, oh

Spent this whole time writing away 
             Em
my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with 
                   Am
have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that we 
       Em
hold so close

Trying to learn and evolve
