Eli Elliott - what about me?

She did not grow up
The way that I grew up
Had a different past
People came and left
Good things didn't last
Grew up white and black
White and black
Good and bad
Nothing in between
Only got extremes
That played out with me
She was really nice
She was really
Mean
Spent some time with her
And watched how she grew up
I hope I helped her grow
I hope I brought her up
I know she did for me
I hope that she can see that
When I gave up some light
To see her shine
That I would never take it back
I hope she's out there winning
But lately, I been thinking that

It should be more about me
I live in my head and my body so
Why do I spend all my
Time making it about her
Forgot what I wanted
Pushed back emotions
It kept me from growing up
And that's not good enough
For her, for me
For what we wanted to be
All of this time I spent caring for her
I think I forgot about me
So what about me
What about me
I think I forgot about
Me
I think I forgot about me

She said you keep
People distant from habit
You do it for safety
But you can not have it Forever
It's better to let yourself fall
She deserves my best
And I know I deserve the
Same from her
I've just been all
Stressed and lost and trapped
Just tryna make it work
And I don't know how she
Found out why I do what I do
Before I knew it myself
I think she knows me well
I hope she's out there winning
But lately, I been thinking that

It should be more about me
I live in my head and my body so
Why do I spend all my
Time making it about her
Forgot what I wanted
Pushed back emotions
It kept me from growing up
And that's not good enough
For her, for me
For what we wanted to be
All of this time I spent caring for her
I think I forgot about me
So what about me
What about me
I think I forgot about
Me
I think I forgot about me
