I wore my heart out on my sleeve
I let you walk all over me
(Verse 1)
Slow burner, young earner
I've made it so far
I've kept it on the low
And now I'm on your radar
I was naive to believe
That what you give you receive
They tell you it's a cop out to do arts
And change their lives
Doing what you love is
Better than doing a 9-5
But I know you got other things playing on your mind
(On your mind, on your mind...)
(Chorus)
I'm sick and tired of your accusations
Coming back to bite me in my ass
Woman of my word, I know what I want
And I won't stop till I get it all
Don't want jewels and pearls
I'm a London girl, I fight the best and come out pretty strong
(Verse 2)
Temporary solutions ain't gonna work this time
I'm going in for the kill
I ain't gonna wait in line
Seize the opportunity, don't believe in downfall
I was grinding hard just to achieve
I wore my heart out on my sleeve
I let you walk all over me (yeah)
Some things easier said done
I'm not here just for fun
We'll see who is earning more in the long run
(Mirror Verse 2)
Temporary solutions ain't gonna work this time
I'm going in for the kill
I ain't gonna wait in line
Seize the opportunity, don't believe in downfall
Grinding hard just to achieve
(I wore my heart out on my sleeve)
(I let you walk all over me (yeah))
(Chorus)
I'm sick and tired of your accusations
Coming back to bite me in my ass
Woman of my word, I know what I want
And I won't stop till I get it all
Don't want jewels and pearls
I'm a London girl, I fight the best and come out pretty strong
(Bridge)
Close-mindedness doesn't get you far and
Where do you think I get my funds and
Made it so far what makes you think I can't go further
(Outro)
I've heard the most from you
Always out the blue
And now it's time for you to move
You don't need to tell me what I can and can't do
The pros outweigh the cons
I do what I want
I know what the stakes are
But I'd rather do it than regret it all
Just because you said so
I got Him watching over me
He is always blessing me
Always has my back
