[Verse 1: Stephanafro]
My mother always told me that I never had to be the best
"Take it slow, don't need to know, sit down and take a rest"
"Just have some fun, you're far too young to always be this stressed"
I guess
Look at my phone, I see a million people I don't know
They drive fast cars, they're rapping bars, they're making TV shows
I'm just a kid who can't get rid of feeling way too slow
So?

[Pre-Chorus: Stephanafro]
I look around at these strange stars that I see
I can't help but feel that they've started to shape me
I'm

[Chorus: Stephanafro]
Raised by aliens, it's all superficial, I'm
Raised by aliens, feels extraterrestrial, 'cause I'm
Raised by aliens, a billion stars, celestial, I'm
Raised by aliens, and no star is special

[Verse 2: Stephanafro]
My father's words, they echo faintly from a distant shore
He talks of times, where things were fine, when we weren't "keeping score"
Of likes or hearts, just making art a thing that's truly yours
Sure
All parasocial
Tell me, who's the most vocal?
Sell me, into the chokehold
Of a life that's hardly real
Lost in the noise of seven billion voices
Where standing out means making all the worst choices
[Pre-Chorus: Stephanafro]
I look around at these strange stars that I see
I can't help but feel that they've started to shape me
I'm

[Chorus: Stephanafro]
Raised by aliens, it's all superficial, I'm
Raised by aliens, feels extraterrestrial, 'cause I'm
Raised by aliens, a billion stars, celestial, I'm
Raised by aliens, and no star is special

[Outro: Stephanafro]
Raised by aliens, I'm
Raised by aliens, I'm
Raised by aliens
And no star is special
