Cleopatra
[Verse 1]
Oh, God, I'm struggling
Send me a prophecy
People have been saying I'm a prodigy
I don't believe them, I don't want to
'Cause it scares me
Holy ghosts, I forgot what to say
'Cause I'm nervous
People keep on saying I deserve this
I don't even think that I've earned it
Tryna swallow all my pride, but I keep on choking
Mother Mary by my side, eyes are always swollen
If you knew I was in my mind, you would be broken too

[Chorus]
Just give me some time
I'm not ready to be high
Someone take my place in line
Things are getting pretty heavy
I don't know if I can carry
If you give me a minute
Let me prepare for this here
God, I've never felt like this
Tell me, is this mine? Is this really mine?
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Hold me down, keep me down
Now why I feel at all
Quit tryna treat me like I'm someone else
Don't you understand? I am feeling hell
Call me Cleopatra, my life is old news
No Egyptian coffin, regular will do
I think I know my job
And it ain't to impress you, ooh

[Chorus]
Just give me some time
I'm not ready to be high
Someone take my place in line
Things are getting pretty heavy
I don't know if I can carry
Give me a minute
Let me prepare for this here
God, I've never felt like this
Tell me, is this mine? Is this really mine?
Oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
Sit still, quit making noise
I got voices in my head
They tell me, "Don't make a choice"
I can't pay attention
In all honestly, I hear people talking
They laugh accordingly
Get it together, I can't be acting this way
Quit asking questions, I'm running out of things to say
[Chorus]
Just give me some time
I'm not ready to be high
Someone take my place in line
Things are getting pretty heavy
I don't know if I can carry
If you give me a minute
Let me prepare for this here
God, I've never felt like this
Tell me, is this mine? Is this really mine?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, mm, mm
