[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I'm gonna be something
[Chorus]
So bare with me (Oh-oh, oh)
Don’t bury me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
So bare with me (Oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me
Before I'm something
[Verse 1]
I was just a young lil’ black girl
On my grind for diamonds and pearls
Flow so sick, man, I might hurl
Out grind everyone 'fore they give me the world
But yeah, God, let it be, I got the energy
I'm representing You, I ain't your enemy
Putting in work like there's ten of me
Do it for my young G's and the family
And I'm far from perfect, any beat, I merk it
Say they want the heat, warm it up and I serve it
Talking on my name like I don't deserve it
Like I got all of this success from twerking
Know I’ma win, getting it in, all that I bring
From the looks to the sound, I gave them everything
I’ma always speak my truth, it's coming straight from within
For my girls in the school and my boys on the wing (Ayy)
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I’m gonna be something
[Chorus]
So bare with me (Oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
So bare with me (Oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me
Before I'm something
[Verse 2]
They just me shining, they don’t know about the pain (Uh)
There's some shit I been through, I can't talk about again (Yeah)
They knew me in the hood before I had a music name (Who's that?)
So just give me the money, give a fuck about the fame (Real shit)
I remember the days that I didn't have shit
Got it out the dirt, some time it hurts to reminisce (Uh)
Used to pissy lifts, council housing benefits (Yeah)
Now I'm in a high rise, forty floors inna this
I'm just, I'm just tryna be great but time don't wait
Had a lot up on my plate but I couldn't make weight
Every time I talk to 'em, make sure it penetrates
Private number place, but I let God navigate (Ooh)
Look, I been confused and been abused, I can't lose (Nah)
I've done every move, bit of swiping, moved food (Yeah)
Said I would end up dead or in jail but I refuse (Refuse)
When freedom's on the table, tell me what would you choose?
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I'm gonna be something
[Chorus]
So bare with me (Oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
So bare with me (Oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me
Before I'm something
[Outro]
Don't bury me (Ooh)
Don't bury me (No, no, no)
Don't bury me
Don't bury me (No, no)

I find it hard to be vulnerable, and I don’t like showing a weak side, but I was very much in my feelings recording this.
