[Intro]
Ah, uh why, please don't walk
"Yo Benji" eh
[Pre-Chorus]
I always knew I'd be a star now it's my time to shine
Look in the mirror I can see the pain still in my eyes
They gone hate on who you are
Protect your peace of mind
They gone try but they can't ever dim this light of mine
They ain't wanna see the vision, they just ain't believe
Had me trippin I was wearing my heart on my sleeve
Made it to the top I thought that you would be with me
Trynna catch me slippin they been looking at me diffеrently
[Chorus]
They see me moving fast
Tryna find a way to slow mе down
So I just hit the gas
Remember all the times you let me down
Then let them feelings past
Remember all the times you wasn't round
Cause you had put me last
I swear you never put me first
[Verse 1]
I'm feeling like I'm cursed
Cause you did me the worst
Everytime I try to love foreal, I always end up hurt
Even when I play my part, I always end up scarred
You just leave my heart in pieces
Everytime I fall apart
Everytime you do me dirty
I feel like I ain't worthy
Everytime you break my heart I swear you break it into thirty, (yeah, yeah)
Pieces, I really thought that you was everything I needed
I was blinded by your love and now I see that
I lost myself tryna love
I just want me back, (yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
Now it's my time to shine
Niggas hatin on my name, don't wanna see me grind
Don't wanna see me win fasho
Don't wanna see me trying
It's hard to love you bae
With all these hundreds on my mind
So when they ask me how I'm doing, "I Say I'm doing fine!"
I've been patient for a while, now baby it's my time
[Pre-Chorus]
I always knew I'd be a star now it's my time to shine
Look in the mirror I can see the pain still in my eyes
They gone hate on who you are
Protect your peace of mind
They gone try but they can't ever dim this light of mine
They ain't wanna see the vision, they just ain't believe
Had me trippin I was wearing my heart on my sleeve
Made it to the top I thought that you would be with me
Trynna catch me slippin they been looking at me differently
[Chorus]
They see me moving fast
Tryna find a way to slow me down
So I just hit the gas
Remember all the times you let me down
Then let them feelings past
Remember all the times you wasn't round
Cause you had put me last
[Verse 2]
Now it's my time to shine
I remember all the nights see mama crying
I remember all the fights for all keep from dying
I be shining like a star
Shining like a lightning, (yeah)
I said yeah, swear this life I've been living Isn't fair
I remember I was trippin' and no one cared
I remember I was hurt and no one was there, (oh, yeah)
I been told I'mma would be a star
Trixie Switch all my flow til I switchin' cars
I just keep on singing by this pain til I couldn't feel my heart
So I ain't try to hear
But I just don't know where to start, (yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I always knew I'd be a star now it's my time to shine
Look in the mirror I can see the pain still in my eyes
They gone hate on who you are
Protect your peace of mind
They gone try but they can't ever dim this light of mine
They ain't wanna see the vision, they just ain't believe
Had me trippin I was wearing my heart on my sleeve
Made it to the top I thought that you would be with me
Trynna catch me slippin they been looking at me differently
[Chorus]
They see me moving fast
Tryna find a way to slow me down
So I just hit the gas
Remember all the times you let me down
Then let them feelings past
Remember all the times you wasn't round
Cause you had put me last
I swear you never put me first, (yeah, yeah)
