Yeah everyone has parents
Who fuck then up in some way
But there's no comparison
And abuse is never okay
I came from money Right?
So I guess I'm always lucky? Right?
Isn't that how this goes?
Oh I got a roof over my head
And belly's always fed
So my pain can't be that bad
Poor little rich
That's what they always said
Because how can people with money ever feel anything negative?
Here give me a minute, let me change your perspective
Mental illness and abuse don't care about zip codes
Oh you've heard this one before?
You think you already know?
Let's see how much of your mind I can blow

I wrote this on my iPhone so listen now
I'll make it clear
Don't you ever let your mirror
Keep you in your place
The world is fucking different now
You make your own space
I'm white and I'm female and I'm from the 1%
I rap because I can, and fuck you're listenin!
Rap rap because I can and fuck you're listenin!
Rap rap rap because I can and fuck you're listenin!
I'm white and I'm female and I'm from the 1%

See I'm not accurately represented
People with stories like mine
Well no one ever says it
I never felt lucky
I always felt the opposite
I was lonely
No one loved me
I think that's why it took so long
For me to even write a song
Or think it was my place to share
I used to think the same as you, I used to think nobody cared
Growing up the adults in my life always took things way too far
Oh you don't believe me?
Take a look
See my scars
Oh you can't see them?
Well let me tell you why
They're imprinted on my brain this is not a lie
Don't think this is real?
Oh I've experienced the trauma
This is not embellished drama

I wrote this on my iPhone so listen now
I'll make it clear
Don't you ever let your mirror
Keep you in your place
The world is fucking different now
You make your own space
I'm white and I'm female and I'm from the 1%
I rap because I can, and fuck you're listenin!
Rap rap because I can and fuck you're listenin!
Rap rap rap because I can and fuck you're listenin!
I'm white and I'm female and I'm from the 1%

You see physical marks
They heal with time
But it's not quite the same for the trauma in your mind
Strength on the outside you can get from the gym
But there's a different approach to get strong within
It's something you can never see just by lookin
You getting what I'm saying?
Or this idea still cookin?
Do you want me to get more to get more specific?
The abuse is fucking detailed
No way can you can't miss it

I wrote this on my iPhone so listen now
I'll make it clear
Don't you ever let your mirror
Keep you in your place
The world is fucking different now
You make your own space
I'm white and I'm female and I'm from the 1%
I rap because I can, and fuck you're listenin!
Rap rap because I can and fuck you're listenin!
Rap rap rap because I can and fuck you're listenin!
I'm white and I'm female and I'm from the 1%
