Lyrics
[Intro]
Go on take a chance, who knows if it's true roma-
Screw it
[Verse 1]
Can you recall back to when my head was small?
Back to when I wore my shades like a blindfold
And my diamond watch as a handcuff
You can put your hands up
I ain't giving this up
You ain't giving what up
The diamonds on your wrist wha-
Check your ? poachers better be in hiding 'till the spring comes (comes)
'Till the bear wakes up to see what he's become (become)
He's not so harmless, not so little anymore
Because he won't take nothing from your freaking haters anymore
It's that time of the night where you feel the fight
Coming on like a star on the movie screen
? like some kind of wolverine
I'm wise ?, y'all I was seventeen
I've had enough time crouching behind the bleachers
Like a ?, gonna get me featured
On a song by a star or another creature
It's a hip-hop, something that you can't teach them
[Pre-Chorus]
We thought we'd reach them
And the time we've been speaking but
Just in case, all my exes stand up, I'll be screaming
[Chorus]
That ain't me anymore
Just the way that I'm designed, yeah
That ain't me anymore
Lost my whole damn freaking mind, yeah
I used to beg for your love
Kneel to the floor
Wasting all my own precious time
But that ain't me anymore
Lost my whole damn freaking mind (mind)
And I kinda like it though
(like it though, like it though)
[Verse 2]
Putting me in my place
Bury me underground
Spit up in my face
I'll show up somehow
I'll come in like "ciao"
They be shocked like "wow!"
We were so damn far (damn AJR)
Oh, I'm sick and tired of these games, girl
So let me die, die, die dark
I don't know what it is about you girl
You push your love like ?
And now I'm trying, I'm lying
I hear you crying and I don't feel nothing
Just like I'm in outer space
You took my soul from my soul
And now my mind is so messed up
I'm gonna blame it on your pretty face
[Pre-Chorus]
We thought we'd reach them
And the time we've been speaking but
Just in case, all my exes stand up, I'll be screaming
[Chorus]
That ain't me anymore
Just the way that I'm designed, yeah
That ain't me anymore
Lost my whole damn freaking mind, yeah
I used to beg for your love
Kneel to the floor
Wasting all my own precious time
But that ain't me anymore
Lost my whole damn freaking mind (mind)
And I kinda like it though
[Bridge]
Once I reach where I belong, oh
There is nothing in this world to bring me down
But could I get much higher now? (now)
When the water's rising so high I could drown
Oh, I could drown
(you still think I'm a cutie? 1, 2, 3, 4!)
[Chorus]
That ain't me anymore
Just the way that I'm designed, yeah (just the way I'm designed)
That ain't me anymore
Lost my whole damn freaking mind, yeah (lost my whole damn freaking mind)
I used to beg for your love (oh!)
Kneel to the floor (oh!)
Wasting all my own precious time
But that ain't me anymore
Lost my whole damn freaking mind (mind)
And I kinda like it though
And I kinda like it though
