Your Highness

Lyrics

[V1]
1 Thought I was smart and I was witty, so I headed for the city
2 But all the city wanted was a puppet to look pretty

[C1] Momma please won't you stop being so disappointed in me
[C2] I'm just trying to be whatever I'm supposed to be

1 In the real world no one cares about your ACT
2 But they care what you spent on your car and your jeans
3 It's all about who you know
4 Not about how hard you dream

1 Tried to earn a degree, tried to learn a skill
2 But to fit in around here you gotta shut up and sit still
3 Bat your eyes
4 Paint your face
5 Eat whatever's
6 On your plate
7 Hope they don't take it away from you before you're through
8 Nobody really cares what you think you’re meant to do

[V2]
1 They say eat it like a whale, One bite at a time
2 But I got a monkey on my back that's the size of Frankenstein

[C1] Momma please won't you stop being so disappointed in me
[C2] I'm just trying to be whatever I'm supposed to be

1 Funny how at night, all the stars look the same
2 But we call their creator by different names
3 Astrophysics in our DNA
4 But then we're all thrown in boxes and buried in similar graves

1 Had to get tatted up, cause I been too tied down
2 And they like to talk shit whenever I come to town
3 Get a job
4 Cover up
5 Go to church and just
6 Calm down
7 They say "Jezebel, just stay inside your lane"
8 But they ain't seen nothing yet
9 Let me tell ya how to spell my name

[V3]
1 Gonna have 20 dogs if I never have a baby,
2 And break the hearts of all the good boys who just never did it for me,

[C1] Momma please wont you stop being so disappointed in me
[C2] I'm just trying to be whatever I'm supposed to be.

1 they say they want a real brunette with cheek bones up to her eyes,
2 But see a heart attack in hair dye and always change their mind,

[C1] Momma please wont you stop being so disappointed in me
[C2] I'm just trying to be whatever I'm supposed to be.

[C1] Momma please wont you stop being so disappointed in me
[C2] I'm just trying to be whatever I'm supposed to be.
