[Verse]
So intense, thinking too deep
When they say that it ain't, but it is to me
Where do I begin this story? A couple years before Year 3
It's 2000 or 01 that time in Year 1 when I was picked on
Ever since then been one to roll on my ones most times
Probably why I'm so overprotective of my son
Would dread to think such things happen to him
And history repeat, luckily they tried to defeat me but failed
So I didn't have to get back to my feet, 'cause I'm like MBJ
Or more so MJB
Emotional being; equivalent to an elephant or a whale
Never forget the effects that it had on me and what it leads to
Now I've got all this PTSD like Mrs Mickie when she was bullied too
And called Piggie James, that wasn't cool
They aimed shots at me some missed but however many on target pierced the skin and now others I don't let in so easily because I bruise and refuse to be subject to anymore open wounds and let them attack like Emily
Spent so much time tryna impress 'em like Lacey
Ended up tryna walk away like Macy
Since they didn't take to me
Hoping I'd end up seeing brighter days
But it wasn't my golden hour yet like Kacey's
Pent up all this anger that forever chased me
Like I was chaste and feeling frustrated
Made me triggered as I was taking all the sly digs
Like I was Taye, see
It's not just Ls I be taking and claim as this namesake for me
I be taking it personally on a regular basis
Everybody goes through something
Even the greatest, Ali or the son of Afeni
Even the rose that came through the concrete
But every so often, I feel so depleted
For the love I rarely received it
Wasn't reciprocated from family to friends
Made it a duty to be there and sing their praises
Never fall 'til they're faded, so elated
Never to be debated
Octaves high but felt silent when it was me up
As if I dropped the re-up
So many lost loves left me jaded
But I thought to myself a couple months ago:
Is this all because I wouldn't do the same to them?
Maybe so
The same things they do to me, they probably do to many others
So why take it personal?
Don't take it personal – Jhené said it
Don't take it personal – Monica said it
Don't take it personal – about time I learned not to take it personal and let it go, 'cause it hurts, I know
[Refrain]
So I pay no mind, I don't tip (let it go)
So I pay no mind, I don't tip (let it go)
So I pay no mind, I don't tip (let it go)
So I pay no mind, I don't tip (let it go)
Don't take it personal
