What she said about the track :
“2 Cents” like most of my music, is autobiographical. At the time I wrote it, I was starting to see the problems with the relationship I was in. I was still in very much in love but I knew I wasn’t getting what I needed.

The producer I worked on this (and many)...
[Verse 1]
Got a sore throat and I keep choking
I didn’t say what a mess I’m in
Hard to speak up when I’m so private
Give me 2 cents like I asked for it
[Pre-Chorus]
The way you see it
It seems so far away
You know I feel it, work through my co-dependency
[Chorus]
I, I need a lot but
I can give you what you’re wanting
Love like crazy
I, I need a lot but
You’ll get more than what I’m taking
Pretty baby
[Verse 2]
Lookin' at me like an animal
You got me starting to question my own judgement
Maybe I cry when it's laughable
I live by feeling it out, I’m emotional
[Pre-Chorus]
The way you see it
It seems so far away
You know I feel it, work through my co-dependency
[Chorus]
I, I need a lot but
I can give you what you’re wanting
Love like crazy
I, I need a lot but
You’ll get more than what I’m taking
Pretty baby
[Bridge]
(Love like crazy)
(Pretty baby)
You know, I try, I might
Hold on a little hard, too tight, tonight, I’m hitting a wall
If you’re in the mood to turn it up, turn me up baby
Don’t, don’t, say no
[Chorus]
I, I need a lot but
I can give you what you’re wanting
Love like crazy
I, I need a lot but
You’ll get more than what I’m taking
Pretty baby
[Outro]
(Pretty baby, pretty baby, pretty baby)
