lyrics

No I don’t feel like explaining myself
And I don’t feel like explaining anyone else
But I can’t ignore the ignorance
You’re the one who don’t make no sense

Momma said she’d love me no matter what
But she also said that it’d be tough
So I think I’ll keep it deep inside
I’ll squish down any inch of pride
That I had grown within
And I’ll take those jokes on the chin
‘Cause you wouldn’t make ‘em if you knew
But if you did, then what would you do?
What would you do?

I erase myself so you’re comfortable
That’s not all of it, I’m also unstable
With the whole other side of the coin
You’re in, you’re out, you don’t just join

And yet, here I am
Flags in my hands
Trying to get myself to understand
Where it is that I can safely land

Momma said she’d love me no matter what
But she also said that it’d be tough
So I think I’ll keep it deep inside
I’ll squish down any inch of pride
That I had grown within
And I’ll take those jokes on the chin
‘Cause you wouldn’t make ‘em if you knew
But if you did, then what would you do?
What would you do?
