Oh girl, what you feel
Tell me just a little bit of what's your deal is
Said, oh girl
Give us just a little bit about you Hollyn

Oh Girl, what you feel
Tell me just a little bit of what's your deal is
Said, oh girl
Give us just a little bit about you Hollyn

They say havin' fame is a fortune
But lately I don't think it's that important
Expectations tryna captivate 'em
But what I'm doing isn't what they used to, yeah
I used to daydreamin English
Chasing down songs instead of working on my thesis, hmm
I've done so much in a year and a half
Standing and wonder how I got where I'm at
My freinds that know me in the 8th grade
Still treat me like I'm in the 8th grade
And freinds that see me on the main stage
Won't say what they sayin to my face
Nobody knows, nobody sees the real me
Does anybody know
Does anybody see the real me

Oh girl, what you feel
Tell me just a little bit of what your deal is
Oh girl
Give us just a little bit about you Hollyn
Come on let us get to know you
We can hardly wait to know you
But you gotta say ?

I won't lie
It's only at night when I turn off the lights
But I don't mind
Cause doin' what you love is a sacrifice
And now I see clearly
And I got you near me
And I love what you made me to do
What I love to do
Is soak in all of you, hmm
Soak in all of you
Feel is nice from right here

Oh girl, what you feel
Tell me just a little bit of what your deal is
Said, oh girl
Give us just a little bit about you Hollyn

What's next
One step
At a time
Enjoy the ride

What's next
One step
At a time
Enjoy the ride

What's next
One step

In this song, she is taking about her personal life and about how God played a part in it❤️❤️❤️❤️I love Hollynn❤️💕 This is the music that we need to be hearing in the world...Not Wild Thoughts and Despacito...We should be listening to Christian music and now thanks to these new artists (Hollyn💕 etc.) It makes it better for us and it targets the younger generation to sing these songs, then later they will get to realise what they are singing and then hopefully they will become Christians❤️🙏🏽GOD BLESS YOU HOLLYN!!!

Beyond the beat I really appreciate this song because she speaks for her soul about how she's feeling about everything going on on in her life.. Beyond the style I like the fact that she's being honest with herself but more than any one she's being honest to us. Thank you Hollyn
