Act Up - Lanie

I know I’m not what you expected

So full of promise, my beauty is shown

So how could you never respect it?

Instead of flowers, I’m met with some thorns and I keep on pushing ignoring

these flaws, ignoring these doubts, ignoring these scars. It feels like this

record is stuck on repeat. While I keep on dying, denying defeat and your

just enjoying my pain. Enjoying my tears, enjoying my struggle.

You know that I’m destined for fame. I put in this work, I put in these hours

and ever since then, this sh** has went sour. you question my judgement stay

draining my power. It feels like I’m broken, no need for a fix.

I’m gasping for air while I’m swallowing bricks

Oh don’t make me act up

Oh don’t make me act up

All up in my ear

Don’t make me act up

Get up out of here

Don’t make me act up

See the truth is just evident, you doing this sh** to stay relevant

I’m tryin, I’m tryin, I’m tryin but I’ll set it off in this residence.

I’m killin this beat, oh yeah I’m bringing this heat. I grind til I die so

yeah I really don’t sleep. It’s funny how all of a sudden your not that

important to me. It’s funny how all of this time you weren’t even rooting for

me, but I’ll be okay. I’m making this bank, I’m focused on life.

Fu** what you think!

Oh don’t make me act up

Oh don’t make me act up

All up in my ear

Don’t make me act up

Get up out of here

Don’t make me act up

See I needed you ! I needed your support ! I needed you to be there !

I needed you to tell me, tell me that I was loved. Not anymore !

See I found that everything I needed was inside of me ! So if your hoping,

or praying for my downfall… keep waiting
