lyrics

Can’t let a young gyal grow without spitting up all of her tea!
why insist on the past? things grow, some snap. let me be.
i knocked a self down, finding forms, now- can you see?
i’m tryna shape the debris. things grow, some snap, let me be.

you weren’t there, weren’t witness,
to how i bit in, but you already a critic
you weren’t there, weren’t witness,
to how i did it, how i’m pushing at my limits

i don’t deal no replays,
i don’t walk back that ways,
it’s only forward stray, ever forward i straying

cause you knew what i /was/
you knew what i /was/
i won’t apologize, i got here just because,
that’s gonna stay the way i /was/
you knew what i /was/

if you don’t know me (right now)
& you had the chance to taste, spit away,
keep my name out your mouth!
& you can praise down every false god on your shelves,
you let me breath, for my health,
let me be someone else-
let me swell.

cause that’s the way i /was/
you knew what i /was/
i ain’t going back, i got here just because!
that’s the way i /was/
you knew what i /was/

i won’t deal no replays ,
i don’t walk back that ways,
only forward i stray,
it’s only forward i stray
