Lyrics

[Outro] It's like, if you, if you give yourself up Listen, nobody can blackmail you with anything I'll never forget, you know, when I first started to really understand what this was all about I just went to my parents, and I just started confessing about stuff I did Like in the second grade Seriously, but we don't know how all that stuff from the time we're kids, man All that repression, all that stuff just holding you, you know, stuff out— Talking about boys feeling my booty in the second grade I mean, I'm telling you, and I'm ashamed of that, you know? Like no, like no other girl in this audience played Run, Catch, and Kiss, or any of those silly games, you know? But just from a child, you know, just growing up with all of that guilt, you know? And we think that that's God, wе think that's God telling us "Feel guilty" God is saying get free, confess, man Undеrstand that, look, everybody's going through that same stuff Same issues, it's just a bunch of repression And I'm saying, man, life is too valuable, man, for us to just sit here in these boxes all repressed, you know? Afraid to admit what we're really going through You know what I'm saying, I'm tired of that I'll tell people, listen, I, I, you know, it's so funny was like, you know When I, when I was trying to—I'll never forget, when I was pregnant with my first, my son And I was trying to keep it a secret, it was all of over the place, you know? And I went everywhere, and I said, "Hey, I'm having another baby" I didn't hear about it at all Y'know, I was like, man, I said, look, y'all just want to deal in stuff that people don't want out So now, I just gave myself up Yeah, I'm having another child, yeah, yup What else would you like to know? Yeah I'm crazy and deranged, you know? And I'm free, you see? I'm free You know, I might play you songs and twitch a little bit just so people know, you know Look, I'm telling you, when they think you're crazy, they don't mess with you I'm telling you, you think— Y'all think that's a curse, I'm telling you, it's a blessing, it's a blessing When I was, you know, a politician, buy, everybody just all over me, you know? I didn't have a private moment at all, not one private moment And now that people think I'm crazy and deranged, we have peace, total peace And so, listen, as far as I'm concerned, I'm crazy and deranged As far as all y'all know, I'm crazy and deranged, you know? I'm emotionally unstable and I— And I'm not to going to ch—that's my story and I'm stickin' to it But um, we're gon' go, Alex you alright? Haha, yeah But I'm—I was very blessed to be able to share with y'all today, you know? It's a joy for me to do that, thank you
