PIGGYBACK lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was three years old
All I wanted was the music and
My parents were doing everything they could
To move away from our place, working over time always
While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring

Ooh
Moved to a small town and
Started to, started to grow
Poetry written, I'm singing and dancing
Ooh
Photographs, painting, cartoons
That's all I know
That's all I know

I have one best friend to this very f*cking day
Since we were five years old, and I f*cking moved away
I wish I never did, 'cause she's the only one who sees me for who I really am
Instead of how many I reach

Ooh
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt
I was so wrong
I cut them off and they came for blood 'cause they know
They ain't getting no more
[Chorus]
I'm so done with playing piggyback, ooh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, ooh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me
When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny

[Post-Chorus]
I worked hard for my sh*t
Put my love in this sh*t
Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this?
Tried to help you do your sh*t
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

[Verse 2]
Now I'm 22 and I've had a crazy year of
Isolation from all the plastic people here
I can not wait for the day I can finally move away
Back to New York City where the realest people really stay

Ooh
Spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close
Trying to learn and evolve
[Chorus]
I'm so done with playing piggyback, ooh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, ooh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me
When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny

[Post-Chorus]
I worked hard for my sh*t
Put my love in this sh*t
Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this?
Tried to help you do your sh*t
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

[Outro]
I'm so done with playing piggyback
Oh, oh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best
Oh, oh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me
When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny
