| My mother cleans houses, dad works at a bank
|
| Curse of that is people think my life is perfect, it ain’t
|
| Hurts me to say I felt I wasn’t what they urged me to be
|
| I was never what my brother was, I learned right away
|
| At ten I wrote my first song, at twelve recorded it all
|
| It felt important at first
|
| «But honey Morgan, that’s false, you gotta go to your room
|
| Say prayers while holding your palms
|
| Forget this music it’s through, don’t think you’re getting involved.»
|
| But mom I’m older, it’s cool, don’t wanna go by your rules
|
| I’m just a fucking outcast and no one knows me at school
|
| I don’t smoke, I don’t drink
|
| Don’t wanna grow to be you
|
| Just let me go, I’m ok
|
| Be back to show you the proof
|
| Let me try, let me grow
|
| Let me live, but you won’t
|
| Let me go, let me go
|
| Step aside, let me show
|
| I can drive down this road
|
| Let me go, let me go
|
| I was sixteen when I performed my first show
|
| No one came with except the homie that drove
|
| Fuck it, we’re going alone
|
| Got off stage, not a text on my phone
|
| No congrats, no «we're proud», no one to tell me I’m dope
|
| Eighteen I moved out to school
|
| I brought my notebook to write
|
| Hoping to jot a song a day then record it at night
|
| My parents told me I was finished
|
| «You won’t tour in your life
|
| You ain’t bringing a thing to college, not a cord or a mic»
|
| But mom, I’m older, it’s fine
|
| Fuck all these homework assignments
|
| I’ve been dreaming of this, but I ain’t closing my eyes
|
| I don’t smoke, I don’t drink
|
| I’m in my dorm every night
|
| Just let me go, I’m ok
|
| Be back at home when it’s time
|
| Let me try, let me grow
|
| Let me live, but you won’t
|
| Let me go, let me go
|
| Step aside, let me show
|
| I can drive down this road
|
| Let me go, let me go
|
| At nineteen, I lost hope, moved back to my moms
|
| I took a couple classes still, just to have when I want
|
| I tried everything I knew, every rap, every song
|
| But nothing worked, and no one saw the vision that I had brought
|
| I checked my twitter at noon, on lunch break at my shift
|
| I read «I'm going on tour, who should I take along with?»
|
| I told my fans «This is it, tweet him back I’m the shit»
|
| The next day I got an email that I was picked
|
| I fucking told you mom, I’m never coming back here
|
| Touring 50 states, in 60 days with blackbear
|
| Now I’m playing shows at twenty-two and I have fans here
|
| Next year I’ll be home, hope I see you and dad there, yeah |
