Get Over Yourself
Brittney Chantele Lyrics
They call me a savage
Cause I protect my assets
Quick to check your baggage
Before it hits my address
I’m working on me now
I know my real people
I’m in my full house
And this ain’t the sequel
You say I need patience
To handle your issues
But I’m in my basement
With patience to get to
You don’t need labels
You don’t want titles
So when you see glow ups
Please don’t feel entitled
Your past ain't me now
Your present ain’t she now
Your future ain't me
But that’s okay for me now
Go check you like I did
I almost wrecked myself
Don’t close your third eyelid
That’s windows to true self
Cry yourself a river
And get over yourself
I’m no savage
Just honest
And honestly
I know what I want
Cry yourself a river
And get over yourself
I’m no savage
Just honest
And honestly
I know what I want
It took me some years now
To know what I need
Not including you
Just focus on me
I am quick to cancel
Why keep making plans
When you show your toxins
Well in advance
I’m not here to fix you
And all of your issues
Find someone who fits you
A doctor might get you
I’m working hard
To fix all of my traumas
So I need somebody
Who works on their shit too
I ain't no angel
I know I’m not perfect
But your extra bullshit
Don’t feel like it’s worth it
I’m tryna give you
The love you deserving
But you seem too blinded
To see past the surface
Cry yourself a river
And get over yourself
I’m no savage
Just honest
And honestly
I know what I want
Cry yourself a river
And get over yourself
I’m no savage
Just honest
And honestly
I know what I want
The feelings ain't showing
It’s out my hands
Why force the subject
When I stand where I stand
Cause I protect my assets
Quick to check your baggage
Before it hits my address
I’m working on me now
I know my real people
I’m in my full house
And this ain’t the sequel
You say I need patience
To handle your issues
With patience to get to
You don’t need labels
You don’t want titles
So when you see glow ups
Please don’t feel entitled
Your past ain't me now
Your present ain’t she now
Your future ain't me
But that’s okay for me now
Go check you like I did
I almost wrecked myself
Don’t close your third eyelid
That’s windows to true self
Cry yourself a river
And get over yourself
I’m no savage
Just honest
And honestly
I know what I want
Cry yourself a river
And get over yourself
I’m no savage
Just honest
And honestly
I know what I want
It took me some years now
To know what I need
Not including you
Just focus on me
I am quick to cancel
Why keep making plans
When you show your toxins
Well in advance
I’m not here to fix you
And all of your issues

And honestly
I know what I want
Cry yourself a river
And get over yourself
I’m no savage
Just honest
And honestly
I know what I want
The feelings ain't showing
It’s out my hands
Why force the subject
When I stand where I stand
