I’m Your Baby

Lyrics

[Chorus] Internet trolls raised me, ads raised me Nickelodeon raised me, Dan raised me Superbad, American Pie, Hollywood Signs Triple-X search raised me, I'm your baby [Verse 1] Mom left my dad and never talked to a man again Just to paint a picture how the marriage went And that's just what I thought what every marriage was I still would call it love, but I never saw 'em touch And I know it wasn't sex, I only seen them kiss once But married for twenty plus When I was young, if it was nudity in movies, mama put some anger to it Little did she know that I wasn't a stranger to it [Chorus] Internet trolls raised me, ads raised me Nickelodeon raised me, Dan raised me Superbad, American Pie, Hollywood Signs Triple-X search raised me, I'm your baby [Verse 2] I was infatuated with sex when I was six Mom blamed it on the music, so CDs were edited But it wasn't the CDs, the privacy intrigued me You look when they say, "Don't look" So I was eight, scribblin' pictures of a naked body 'til the teacher found my notebook She had to make sure my home's good, so I was put in therapy Imagine a therapist studying an eight-year-old's rendition of naked breasts I was always questioned Especially 'cause I only grew up with women present My therapist put down his pad during one session And asked if I ever thought 'bout my mom and my sister naked I don't remember what I said I just remember the feelin' of realizin' my mom and sister were big-breasted I broke out crying, I couldn't stop and I didn't know why It's funny which memories stick with you, I was nine (Keep goin') When I was twelve, I started hanging with older kids They would tell me things and they would show me things Teachers always said I had a old soul Must've been just my soul 'cause my brain didn't know a thing A mutual friend led me to this older kid's house We were in his basement, two other older kids 'round When my homie left, I should've left, but I stayed there Didn't know these kids well, but I felt safe there Shouldn't have felt safe there Dirty conversations about the girls in their grade where People lost virginities, me, I ain't even kiss yet I didn't even think about getting my— wet That night, I was talked into doing things I ain't wanna do A lot of, "I don't knows," a lot of, "Come on, dude" A lot of, "No one's even gonna know," a lot of closin' eyes A lot of long showers and no appetites [Chorus] Internet trolls raised me, ads raised me Nickelodeon raised me, Dan raised me Superbad, American Pie, Hollywood Signs Triple-X search raised me, I'm your baby [Verse 3] I just started droppin' music at the time Writin' love songs about a girl I hoped to find Playin' Wayne tapes, knowing I could never say The first body that touched my body looked just like mine It's funny which memories end up sticking with you 'Cause I forgot it even happened 'til I turned twenty-two Then it all came back and it felt brand new Wonderin' if it plays a role in relationships I pursue Or is it just a distant memory that never left a mark? One night, my homie had some questions at the bar He said, "Why do all of your girls look like fresh out of a magazine?" I said, "It's just my type," he said, "I feel you, but I mean What if the perfect girl for you is normal looking? Would you do something?" I said, "What?" He said, "It just feels like you're tryna prove something And you know that everyone knows you well So maybe you're still tryna prove something to yourself What are you still tryna prove?" [Chorus] Internet trolls raised me, ads raised me Nickelodeon raised me, Dan raised me Superbad, American Pie, Hollywood Signs Triple-X search raised me, I'm your baby
