GINGER
BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics

Know you got your own shit, and all of it together
You have your own life and all the pieces of it fit perfectly.

And you know you got your own space, right here forever, baby
You have a safe and secure place to be yourself forever.

Know you got your own, know you got your own
You have everything you need to live your best life, already within you.

Ay, stay sound when you not around
I feel good when you're absent from my environment.

Mood is always better whenever you not around
My mood always improves when you're not present.

Fuckin' up the weather, and you're fuckin' up my town
You're causing chaos and disturbance everywhere you go, and it's affecting me and those around us.

Fuckin' up a sweater, and I'm fuckin' up a gown
You're ruining things that I hold dear, and I'm doing the same to you.

Look at how I'm shinin' though
I'm glowing and shining despite the struggles that we're facing.

Look at how I'm smilin' though
I'm smiling despite the hurt and pain that I'm feeling.

Look at how I'm smilin'
I'm happy despite the difficult circumstances that we're both in.

Look at how I'm wildin', and I'm still broke
I'm still struggling with my own issues despite my outward confidence and energy.

You still think I'm a joke, I still think I'm a joke
You still don't take me seriously, and I feel the same way about myself sometimes.

I still think it ain't gon' work out
I have doubts about our ability to make things work.

Nigga that shit is broke, broke, broke, broke
Things aren't working out, and we need to acknowledge that and move on.

Tell me, goddamn, what God made me for?
I'm questioning my purpose and existence in the world.

I don't even love no more
I've lost the ability to love deeply and genuinely.

I don't even trust no more
I've lost faith in others and their intentions.

I don't need to clutch no more
I don't feel the need to hold on tight to anything or anyone.

Some things outside of my contro-ol
There are certain things in life that are beyond my control, no matter what I do.

I need some space, I need to gro-ow
I need time and room to develop and evolve as a person.

So I go (ooh), plague my soul
I'm on a journey of self-discovery, regardless of how painful it may be.

Say I won't (ooh)
People doubt my ability to succeed, but I won't let that stop me.

I never tried to let you go so deep, deep, deep
I didn't intend to let you get close to me emotionally, but now you have, and it's difficult to leave.

But I couldn't lie, you swear and you cry
I can't pretend that everything is fine, especially when you're upset and emotional.

Your teeth rotting while they fall onto mine
Your problems are infecting and affecting me in a negative way.

Pouring bleach on the white, won't bring them to life
Trying to cover up or fix problems with superficial solutions won't make things better.

Pliers twist to the right, pull out your mind
I'm trying to extract and deal with our issues head-on, even if it's difficult and painful.

I don't wanna take this ride
I'm tired of dealing with the struggles and difficulties that come with our relationship.

(Pouring bleach on the white, pouring bleach on the white, white, white)
Trying to cover up our problems with fake solutions is not helping.

Pull out your mind
We need to confront our issues and be honest with ourselves and each other in order to move forward.

Oh, oh
An exclamation of frustration or disappointment.

Oh, oh, oh
An expression of distress or irritation.

Oh, oh
An expression of dissatisfaction or annoyance.

Oh, oh
An expression of defeat or resignation.
