“Not Here” is a song of things Jay wished he’d say back when he was younger but never had the courage. In it he addresses things he’s not here to please anyone, just love himself and lets out the feelings he’s held back for so many years.
[Verse 1]
I wish people didn't treat wrong
10 years feeling pain is too long
I've always felt like I don't belong
In this world
[Verse 2]
Being gay seemed like a curse to me
Dumb shit was always on TV
Wrong images of guys like me
Always hated, looking stupid, and wrong
[Chorus]
I'm not here to please you (I'm not here, I'm not here)
I'm not here to please my friends (I'm not here, I'm not here)
I'm not here to please my family (I'm not here, I'm not here)
I'm here to love myself (I'm not here, I'm not here)
[Verse 3]
You call me faggot cause you're filled with hate (I'm not, I'm not here)
Cause you believe that you can make me straight (I'm not, I'm not here)
Stop your prayers because it's my fate (I'm not, I'm not here)
For god sake (I'm not, I'm not here)
[Verse 4]
I just need to leave it all behind (I'm not, I'm not here)
Let my feelings out and speak my mind (I'm not, I'm not here)
I've always tried to be so kind (I'm not, I'm not here)
I was stupid, wrong and so blind (I'm not, I'm not here)
[Chorus]
I'm not here to please you (I'm not here, I'm not here)
I'm not here to please my friends (I'm not here, I'm not here)
I'm not here to please my family (I'm not here, I'm not here)
I'm here to love myself (I'm not here, I'm not here)
Myself ( I'm not, I'm not here)
Oh ohhhhh (I'm not, I'm not here)
Oh ohhhhh (I'm not, I'm not here)
Oh ohhhhh (I'm not, I'm not here)
Oh ohhhhh (I'm not, I'm not here to please you)

“Not Here is my favorite track because in it I allowed myself to say everything I wanted to say to people who made me feel bad about my sexuality, and basically I’m not here to please you, I’m in this world to love myself and be the best person I can be.”
