Back when I was younger, people saw me as a little kid
No authority, I was a sheep, and seemed so innocent
And all I ever wanted was to be treated with some respect
And all I'd ever gotten was the title of a reject
9th grade, oh my god, they ain't have no love for me
I had to go and sit in silence, deal with that shit uncomfortably
10th grade, got my glow up, now they wanna fuck with me
I went from friend zone to the end zone
And touched down on a couple G's
And they say to just be glad that I made it
Ever since I graduated,
I've been undefeated, busy cutting out the fakers
And I know a lot of niggas who be saying all that
But I really mean this shit so let's go and recap
In Middle School, I was an asskisser, people-pleaser
High School I was an asshole, I didn't need yah
Now I bring the food back to the table and I feed yah
So sick and tired of these pussy nigga bottom feeders
If I could find the old me and have him sat down
If I could tell myself from the past where I'm at now
If I could tell him all the shit that wasn't worth it
He just wanted to be perfect
And just for once to feel important
Bitch I'm motherfucking goated now
Can't believe I ever let myself feel like a fucking clown
All those fucking times I felt so fucking down
Had the world up on my shoulders
Pushing up this fucking boulder
All I ever wanted was to be older, never sober
But my heart got colder
At least I'm ballin' like some boba
But I still wasn't myself
Every time I went and stared at my reflection
I still saw the reminiscence of rejection
All the years of hate from other people
Turned into deepened insecurities
I had to start the progress on what's curing me
On some personal shit
I really wasn't loving myself
And once I realized that
Then I started getting help
All the years of hate from other people
Turned into deepened insecurities
I had to start the progress on what's curing me
On some personal shit,
I really wasn't loving myself
And once I recognized that
Then I started getting help
