Recess lyrics

I was too young to see the truth

In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume

Too naive to even care

'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair

People gonna say

"If you need a break, someone will take your place"

People gonna try

To tell you that "you're fine" with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh

Don't let them try

Ooh, don't let them hurt you, baby

Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done

Everything I wanted has come to fruition

I should be happy but I can't get out my bed

Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head

People gonna say

"If you need a break, someone will take your place"

People gonna try

To tell you that "you're fine" with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh

Don't let them try

Ooh, don't let them hurt you, baby

Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

Where is my time?

Gone in my mind

Gone, I can't find

Euphoria

When I get upset

I think in my head

"I do as she says"

People gonna say

"If you need a break, someone will take your place"

People gonna try

To tell you that "you're fine" with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)

Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh

Don't let them try

Ooh, don't let them hurt you, baby

Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
