Girl, it's the first time
That I'm not afraid of being alone
I used to put my energy and time
On toxic people that came along
The one that is always on my side its me
24/7 Self love, hey
And I'm just tryna find some peace of mind
My doctor told me girl you better work, you better work
Being in silence with myself ain't no easy
But I'm telling you, hey
There's so many people faking
Little secret: none of them believed in you
It's running though my veins
It's talent girl, no shade
For those spreading hate, you can get a little taste
Talent it's a price ain't no paying or buying
You can't copy with bills this shit that I'm writing
I'm tired of soft boys that sell fake love to you
Of bitches that point out my patch, trying to choose my shoes
They are talking in the hood, probably criticizing
Saying "what?", ain't no time for that bullshit, darling
Hey, no shade
No shade, girl, no hate
Hey, I'm not spilling tea
No shade, that doesn't work for me
Hey, no shade
No shade, girl, no hate
Hey, I'm not spilling tea
No shade, that doesn't work for me
Girl, it's the first time
That I'm brave enough to see my soul
I used to hide it deep in my heart
None could enter, the door is locked
I lost the count on all the nights with no sleep
Lost and found, searching for me
And I just figured out where my fears have gone
I can't believe how far I've gone
Trying to learn from your mistakes ain't no easy
But I'm here for you, hey
There's chatty chatty behind you
Keep it up girl, that means they are looking at you
Hey, no shade
No shade, girl, no hate
Hey, I'm not spilling tea
No shade, that doesn't work for me
Hey, no shade
No shade, girl, no hate
Hey, I'm not spilling tea
No shade, that doesn't work for me
You know, during all this time I've been working on myself
On becoming a better person and growing stronger than ever
So now I just have to tackle some things that are still messing around here and there
And then, I'll pack all my staff and get the hell out of here
And no shade with that, it's okay
Hey, no shade
No shade, girl, no hate
Hey, I'm not spilling tea
No shade, that doesn't work for me
Hey, no shade
No shade, girl, no hate
Hey, I'm not spilling tea
No shade, that doesn't work for me
Hey, no shade
No shade, girl, no hate
Hey, I'm not spilling tea
No shade, that doesn't work for me
Hey, no shade
No shade, girl, no hate
Hey, I'm not spilling tea
No shade, that doesn't work for me
