lyrics

Personality fluid
Misconstrued
The man ballyhooin’
if I don’t fit the part
My subconscious leashed
Or else I’m labeled a freak
My normalcy is weak
My freakishness is art

I’m Insecure like my girl Issa
At least I can get my rox off
Binge watching, not stopping
Because, my bbz, they’re singing my song
And I never cared about being repped more than lately
When I'm used to not relating
to characters the media thinks I want
Because I don’t— cause I really, really don’t

Like --my perspective never links up with the people I see
These lame ass characters I see on TV
My humanoid self is wicked, damn hungry
To see some fucked up chicks that remind me of me

Cause I need room to be
the whole mess I am
I won’t be defined by
the ideals of a man

I’ve got it made
like MTV,
like everybody look at me.
I’m free, I’m trapped, I’m free, I’m free!
The city reigning down on me,
and raining me in my house.
Let me out.
Raining me in my house
Let me out!

Cause I need room to be
the whole mess I am
I won’t be defined by
the ideals of the man
