Yeah, I'm only 16
Big dreams
Acting kinda mainstream
Big talk
Culture shock
Hearing how the people talk
They told me, "Little lady, learn to be a proper daughter!"
They messin' up my brain
They got me like a teeter totter
"Why don't you act your age?
You think you're still a kid?
Stop making stories up!
Why don't you deal with it?"
That started mad fires wildin' in my head
It got me thinking bad thoughts in my bed
Was ashamed
Started thinking they were right
Until I noticed something just wasn't right
Was I to become the perfect woman to be
Or was it damn time to start acting like the real me
Leave me alone
I don't recognise the pain
I'm not gonna grow
If I don't walk out the door
Money can wait
I just need to be alone
Need some time to grow
Instead of waiting for
A ride
A ride
A ride
To the sky I will ride, I will
Ride
A ride
A ride
To the sky I will ride, I will ride
I packed my ego and pain
And the voice in my head
And I burned them to ashes
All those bad vibes dead
Cried a couple of oceans
Bled a few drops of blood
But it's all for the better
Yeah, it's a plan from above
Made some friends leave my side
And made some enemies, too
Made my mother and father question my well-being
A weird feeling
People leaving
Strangers nearing
I was hoping I wouldn't be choking for a little success
Wait for the rest
Gaining some strength
Going the lengths
Just to be free
Gotta stay me
But everyone laughed while I was trying to be me
Made a few bets
I lost them all
But me and my big head made more with them all
Couldn't be proud of myself than at all
Fake people swinging a fake crystal ball
Saying that voodoo would make all the calls
But I never went for the fall
Leave me alone
I don't recognise the pain
I'm not gonna grow
If I don't walk out the door
Money can wait
I just need to be a alone
Need some time to grow
Instead of waiting for
A ride
A ride
A ride
To the sky I will ride I will ride
A ride
A ride
To the sky I will ride I will ride
I apologise
I'll be leaving when the sun sets
When you're all asleep
Sleep tight
Promise, I'll come back
Don't call 'cause I don't wanna hear no fake apologies
Goodbye
Leave me alone
I don't recognise the pain
I'm not gonna grow
Walk out the door
Money can wait
I just need to be alone
Need some time to grow
Waiting for
A ride, a ride
A ride
A ride
To the sky I will ride
I will ride
A ride
A ride
To the sky I will ride, I will ride
