whole song: Gm F D# Cm
|Intro|
Marni.
|Verse 1|
GmI like to tell 'em that my story had started 'fore I was born.
FI came in a family, it already was torn.
D#My momma couldn't smile when she had me, she had to mourn.
CmThey killed my pop while I was in her womb, I wasn't even formed.
GmWe rocking Louis and Milano, remember it was Ralph Lauren.
FWe used to drive Toyotas, now everything is so foreign.
D#My momma made me strong and in everything I endured.
CmNever thought it would stop raining, our blessings, they keep on pouring.
GmLike 'posed to be here? 'posed to prosper?
FTold them I don't just want a Grammy, I want a Oscar.
D#I looked at my grandmamma pansy and said, "I gotcha."
CmShe said, "Hey, don't worry about me, just Do what I taught you.
GmYou gonna be a star, you gonna be hotter than Sriracha."
FIt was ramen noodles, now linguine with the lobster.
D#The price of the fame, I know exactly what it cost you.
CmVoice is like an instrument, I'm talking to the opera.
I got you.
|Verse 2|
I don't wanna Go back to my old ways.
DHK reminiscing all about the old days, low wage.
Now they got their hand out on they own plate.
Everything I did was on my own, I built my own stage.
I went on America's Got Talent, took my own lane.
I was on the rap game when Jermaine Dupri got more game.
I had built it up and then got a feature with Lil Wayne.
Ain't gonna lie, my soul chain kinda brought me more pain.
Imagine trying to navigate the world without your father.
Imagine trying to love as a little girl, it just got harder.
Imagine seeing a man putting they hands all over your momma.
Said I was lashing out, now I know it was just trauma.
But as I'm getting older, I like to think that I'm calmer.
And I don't even trip 'cause I know it's coming with karma.
Now I count a couple commas,
cop a place in the Bahamas just to vacay in the summer.
I remember we was under.
In my lifetime, seen a Black President Obama.
It opened up my eyes 'cause everything we Do iconic.
And it's just so ironic and just comical, I find it in this climate.
Love my blackness, walk outside and I'm Ebonics, I'm just honest.
|Verse 3|
To my grandma, it hurt me so bad.
We ain't got that relationship just because what happened to my dad.
And I know that you can't even look me in my eyes without
crying and just seeing my reflection,
it remind you of the time when it was fine.
I know you trying, but it's mine and I know.
This take a different kind of grind, I know.
I got a different type of drive, I show.
|Chorus|
The heartbreak my heart take is outrageous.
I came to count pape and rock faces.
My love in my heart is contagious.
I worked to be us and I made it.
But I got more to go, more to show, more to grow, more to cope.
I did this for my little city, it wasn't nobody there with me.
I never needed your pity and it ain't nothing you can give me.
|Chorus (reprise)|
The heartbreak my heart take is outrageous.
I came to count pape and rock faces.
My love in my heart is contagious.
I worked to be us and I made it.
|Outro|
912, 10 Jordan.
Down by the booth, down by the water.
God be the truth, I'm the don daughter.
I've been the truth, I'm the don daughter.
