  • Let me live
    Through your vice
    Mass appeal
    I feel in ten breaths it's a miracle if we're still alive
    Can you touch it? Is it real?
    Paper cards that I feel
    The slightest rip is a river that's overflowing me

    Something happened, just above me
    I've a baby inside
    But I won't give birth till you insert yourself inside of me
    I hear you whining, baby lively
    I am an angel (hush now)
    My back wings give the hardest slap that you've ever seen

    Figures of 8 around your face
    Elaborate, your eternity
    You're so fucking fake that it's hurting me
    I'm just jealous cause you're more alive than what I'll ever be
    I take a step, I break my neck
    Teach me how to lead with my middle finger
    Boys growing boys growing girls into women
    Teach me how to live life like I'm not a singer
    3-3-3-3-3-3, hold that pose for me
    Hush now, hush now

    Let me live
    Let me live (hush now, hush now) Writer/s: . BOOTS, TAHLIAH BARNETT
