Ms Banks - Bare With Me

I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I'm gonna be something

So bare with me (oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me (oh-oh, oh-oh)
So bare with me (oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me
Before I'm something

I was just a young lil' black girl
On my grind for diamonds and pearls
Flow so sick, man, I might hurl
Out grind everyone 'fore they give me the world
But, yeah God, let it be, I got the energy
I'm representing you, I ain't your enemy
Putting in work like there's ten of me
Do it for my young Gs and the family
And I'm far from perfect, any beat, I murk it
Say they want the heat, warm it up and I serve it
Talking on my name like I don't deserve it
Like I got all of this success from twerking
Know I'ma win, getting it in, all that I bring
From the looks to the sound, I gave them everything
I'ma always speak my truth, it's coming straight from within
For my girls in the school and my boys on the wing (ayy)

I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I'm gonna be something

So bare with me (oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me (oh-oh, oh-oh)
So bare with me (oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me
Before I'm something

They just see me shining, they don't know about the pain (uh)
There's some shit I been through I can't talk about again (yeah)
They knew me in the hood before I had a music name (who's that)
So just give me the money, give a fuck about the fame (real shit)
I remember the days that I didn't have shit
Got it out the dirt, some time it hurts to reminisce (uh)
Used to pissy lifts, council housing benefits (yeah)
Now I'm in a high rise, forty floors inna dis
I'm just, I'm just tryna be great but time don't wait
Had a lot up on my plate, but I couldn't make weight
Every time I talk to 'em, make sure it penetrates
Private number plate, but I let God navigate (ooh)
Look, I been confused and been abused, I can't lose (nah)
I've done every move, bit of swiping, moved food (yeah)
Said I would end up dead or in jail, but I refuse (refuse)
When freedom's on the table, tell me what would you choose?

I just wanna be something
Take it easy on me
Love is meant to breathe not break, oh
I'm gonna be something

So bare with me (oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me (oh-oh, oh-oh)
So bare with me (oh-oh, oh)
Don't bury me
Before I'm something

Don't bury me (ooh)
Don't bury me (no, no, no)
Don't bury me
Don't bury me (no, no)
