Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
High heels
I feel good out here
I'm one in a zillion
I'm real and care less if they know
No fears, that's all I can pray for
I spent a minute on me
Found a way to escape your doubts
And don't forget it, baby
There's not a gray that I'm taking out
It's me who validates me
See the growth and it makes me proud
There ain't no shallow in me
Like a lifetime since I've been in my right mind
Wrong place, but feel like the right time
D'ussé, regardless I'm gon' shine
Don't judge what you don't know
Got feelings, that I don't show
So you know
Been planning to take this down
I spent a minute on me
Found a way to escape your doubts
And don't forget it, baby
There's not a gray that I'm taking out
It's me who validates me
See the growth and it makes me proud
There ain't no shallow in me
Please, don't get me confused
I will never lose
Who do you think is who?
You're all up and through this, booth
Me and bippity-boppity-boop, yeah (yeah, yeah)
You went from a one, but it's really my two though
Sy'rai's my jewel
All of my pressure created a diamond and baby, it's you (yeah)
I gotta make moves like I'm walking up in my Loubs
God gave me a plan, whole life in my hand
Never catch me and my daughter sinking up in sand
Yes, I know, been planning to take this down
I spent a minute on me
Found a way to escape your doubts
And don't forget it, baby
There's not a gray that I'm taking out
It's me who validates me
See the growth and it makes me proud
There ain't no shallow in me
Been planning to take this down (yeah, yeah)
I spent a minute on me
Found a way to escape your doubts
And don't forget it, baby
There's not a gray that I'm taking out
It's me who validates me
See the growth and it makes me proud (proud)
There ain't no shallow in me
