[Chorus]
Somewhere between being perfect and wondering if I’m worthless
I know they hate on the surface
But that shit not my concern
I know my life got a purpose
So through the night I be working
I paid the price for the purchase
So I just want what I earned
Somewhere between being perfect and wondering if I’m worthless
I know they hate on the surface
But that shit not my concern
I know my life got a purpose
So through the night I be working
I paid the price for the purchase
So I just want what I earned
I just want what I earned
I just want what I earned

[Verse]
I just want what I deserve bitch I ain’t ask for too much
Thankful for these lessons but I wished I learned em’ sooner
Cuz ain’t nobody told me how to maneuver in this shit
And ain't nobody honest when they pockets is at risk
So when they tell me what to do I do the opposite
I keep on cocky shit
No need to ask your bitch if she acknowledges
I take care of that shopping list and everything that’s in between
Since fifteen I’ve been dreaming of the big screen
[Bridge]
Thinking back to all the times you did me wrong
Made me feel like I could never get beyond
All the pain but the old me dead and gone
New life respawn finally found where I belong

[Chorus]
Somewhere between being perfect and wondering if I’m worthless
I know they hate on the surface
But that shit not my concern
I know my life got a purpose
So through the night I be working
I paid the price for the purchase
So I just want what I earned
Somewhere between being perfect and wondering if I’m worthless
I know they hate on the surface
But that shit not my concern
I know my life got a purpose
So through the night I be working
I paid the price for the purchase
So I just want what I earned
I just want what I earned
I just want what I earned

[Verse 2]
Got some paper to burn
So n***as hit me when that shit convenient see how they turn
Somehow they always find a way to hit me up on the first
To say they pockets bleeding and they been with me from the dirt
I know these demons right around the corner gotta stay on high alert
Pocket watching on a youngin' let the tire skirt
Boy we really came from nothing now it’s five a verse
You can’t define my worth
Bitch I been the wave they been tryna’ surf
[Bridge]
I wish I wish upon a star
In the backseat of this double r
& I know some times it feels too hard
But fuck it we too far from the start to ever look back

[Chorus]
Somewhere between being perfect and wondering if I’m worthless
I know they hate on the surface
But that shit not my concern
I know my life got a purpose
So through the night I be working
I paid the price for the purchase
So I just want what I earned
Somewhere between being perfect and wondering if I’m worthless
I know they hate on the surface
But that shit not my concern
I know my life got a purpose
So through the night I be working
I paid the price for the purchase
So I just want what I earned
