    @ambony4943 years ago Lyrics:
    i was too young to see the truth
    in my grandma' s lap, i&# too naive to even care
    ' bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair
    people gonna say
    if you need a break, someone' ll take your place
    people gonna try
    to tell you that you' re fine with dollars in their eyes
    (just remember)
    don' t let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
    don' t let them try (ooh)
    don' t let them hurt you, baby
    just say, " recess, i' m tired"
    sittin' in my room, looking at all i' ve done
    everything i wanted has come to fruition
    i should be happy but i can' t get out my bed
    stressin' #39; bout the voices screamin' inside my head
    people gonna say
    if you need a break, someone' ll take your place
    people gonna try
    to tell you that you' re fine with dollars in their eyes
    (just remember)
    don' t let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
    don' t let them try (ooh)
    don' t let them hurt you, baby
    just say, " recess, i' m tired"
    where is my time?
    gone in my mind
    gone, i can' t find
    euphoria
    when i get upset
    i think in my head
    " i do as she says"
    people gonna say
    if you need a break, someone' ll take your place
    people gonna try
    to tell you that you' re fine with dollars in their eyes
    (just remember)
    don' t let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
    don' t let them try (ooh)
    don' t let them hurt you, baby
    just say, " recess, i' m tired"
