[Verse]
I just need a little something so I can paint a better picture (Better picture) (Oh-oh)
When I leave this earth, I hope he doesn't send me back home, oh (Home) (Oh, no, no, no, no, no)
'Cause if he does, I wonder if he'd watch as I grow old (Watch as I grow old)
Or maybe he would make me rectify the lies I've told
'Cause baby I was bold, you know
See I was never
The type of kid to make a fuss over a parent's error
The type of kid to say I love you in a foreign prayer
I know he's watching me, I gotta play it cool (Play it cool)
Lord knows where I'd be if I checked out back in middle school
But lately I've been blessed, I feel it (I feel it)
Say they like what I get off my chest, I feel it (Oh)
Dad used to tell me, "Oh you tried," no, I did it
Even at my best, I knew there never was a ceiling (Never was a ceiling)
Okay, okay, I know it ain't classy (Know it ain't classy)
Know it ain't bougie (Know it ain't bougie)
The way they watch me, you would think I was a movie
Screwed me over twice but now I gotta thank you truly
You were bringing out the best, the new me, yeah
