| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing
|
| Nobody was there to even listen
|
| I kept all my problems and kept my feelings hidden, yeah, yeah
|
| And I put the blame on me
|
| I put the blame on me, yeah
|
| I put the blame on me
|
| Only 10 years old
|
| I’m already numb, yeah, my heart’s getting cold
|
| Saw my mama getting weaker, hurt me to my soul
|
| The only man she loved, how could he do this to his girl?
|
| He put that pistol to her head, I swear he could’ve shot her dead
|
| Man, that liquor made him evil
|
| I swear that man ain’t have no reason
|
| That shit just turned him to a demon, yeah
|
| Fast forward a couple years, I done turned 12
|
| Living life one hell to the next hell
|
| I got cousins touching me inappropriately
|
| And don’t nobody believe me when I tell
|
| When you learn that your heroes ain’t no one to look up to
|
| And the same people hurting you telling you they love you
|
| Before too long, you start believing
|
| That maybe you’re the reason, yeah
|
| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing
|
| Nobody was there to even listen
|
| I kept all my problems and kept my feelings hidden, yeah, yeah
|
| And I put the blame on me
|
| I put the blame on me, yeah
|
| I put the blame on me
|
| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing
|
| Nobody was there to even listen
|
| I kept all my problems and kept my feelings hidden, yeah, yeah
|
| And I put the blame on me
|
| I put the blame on me, yeah
|
| I put the blame on me
|
| New drama, but I really ain’t new to it
|
| Hear 'em laughing at lunchtime and I’m the joke
|
| Black and white, was too black for the white folks
|
| I can’t do nothing 'bout my face, feeling all out of place
|
| Over something I can’t control
|
| Fuck is wrong with these people?
|
| Or is it something wrong with me though? |
| Yeah
|
| Age 16, life’s still mean
|
| Mama fell hard, needed rescuing
|
| She got a new man, he told her simply
|
| She could stay with him long as she don’t bring me
|
| I guess she had to make a choice, did what she had to do
|
| Chose him over her own kid
|
| I don’t know what would make her do this
|
| Gotta be something I did, ooh
|
| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing (Ayy)
|
| Nobody was there to even listen (Yeah, yeah)
|
| I kept all my problems and kept my feelings hidden, yeah (Ooh)
|
| And I put the blame on me (Blame on me)
|
| I put the blame on me, yeah (Ooh)
|
| I put the blame on me (Blame on me)
|
| I was homeless 'til I turned 18
|
| Started living with a man I was dating
|
| Last thing on my mind was graduating
|
| All about survival and money-making
|
| I would sing to escape my reality
|
| Just tryna play the cards God dealt me
|
| Posted myself singing a song 'cause it was on my heart
|
| When it went viral, I was working in Walmart (Ayy)
|
| I got a new start
|
| Taking my pain, turning it into art
|
| Turning bad times into hot sounds
|
| For the first time, I’m where I belong (Ayy, yeah, yeah)
|
| 20 now
|
| Making moves, making money now
|
| Rainy days hella sunny now
|
| Daddy wasn’t there, yeah, he was missing (Ayy)
|
| Nobody was there to even listen (Yeah, yeah)
|
| I kept all my problems and kept my feelings hidden, yeah (Ooh)
|
| And I put the blame on me (Blame on me)
|
| I put the blame on me, yeah (Ooh)
|
| I put the blame on me (Blame on me) |
