Holy Water
I look into the mirror and remember Bukowski
Straighten out my back and wear my crooked teeth proudly
Left my parents crib 'cause they was better without me
What's a rolling stone to a family tree?
Remember "Fuck yous," and giving back the house keys
I remember blue moons, and I remember sweet dreams
I went from high strung child to a volatile teen
With my high fucking standards, low self esteem
No in-between, I was always misbehaving
Puffing on loud to find the silence I was craving
Catholic school dropout, no soul for saving
Inside my own silence I was suffocating
It gets frustrating, slipping in between the cracks
So I wrote my own rules, carved my own path
Feeling myself, I had a confidence relapse
Brushin' off my shoulders like, "nah I don't need that"
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn I thought they hated me a year ago
I drank the holy water like, "Damn, I need a miracle!"
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn I thought they hated me a year ago
I drank the holy water like
I'm a dandelion, don't you call me a rose
You could plant me anywhere and be amazed how I grow
I value strength over beauty, like friends over foes
They hate to have me around, but love to watch me go
A multigenerational chain of command
You've gotta overstand that lil' Ella never had the upper hand
My people suffering with no reparations
Paulista smiling through any situation
Never devastation, we turn it around
I'm a Caboclo baby, we wear that shit proud
What's the sound of hope? Mas que nada
Too broke to be the devil like I ain't wear Prada
And before I forget, it's Brasil com S
Same one I ripped off a Superman's chest
Puta que pariu, man we all know the drill
Life is but a choice, red pill blue pill
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn I thought they hated me a year ago
I drank the holy water like, "Damn, I need a miracle!"
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn I thought they hated me a year ago
I drank the holy water like
I want you to know that if you won't, I will
Fake bitches up when it's confronted by the real
Hard works better than a penny in a well
Now they buying Ella's record while they hatin' on Mel?
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn I thought they hated me a year ago
I drank the holy water like, "Damn, I need a miracle!"
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn I thought they hated me a year ago
I drank the holy water like
Straighten out my back and wear my crooked teeth proudly
Left my parents crib 'cause they was better without me
What's a rolling stone to a family tree?
Remember "Fuck yous," and giving back the house keys

Damn, I thought they hated me a year ago
Damn I thought they hated me a year ago

Damn I thought they hated me a year ago
I drank the holy water like
