"Bulletproof" lyrics
They showed love in the beginning
They ain't like I started winning
Now the same ones throwing shade
Tryin act like they was with me
I ain't asking for acceptance
I was built for opposition
They was laughing at the vision
Now they watching how I'm living
I remember being broke
I remember every penny
Now I walk up in the bank
And they know me when I enter
I was down they disappeared
Funny how that shit gets different
When the numbers started climbing
Everybody want a percentage
You couldn't walk a mile in my shoes
Don't think you could come close to me
Had to learn to raise myself
Become who I was supposed to be
They say bloods thicker than water
Blood don't make you family
They wonder why my hearts so cold
My own family abandoned me
The second that I chose myself
Y'all showed me what it really is
Turned your backs because I left
A man who never gave a shit
Then mama went and got sick
And just like that, y'all fucking split
Tell me how we can forgive
When we ain't ever gon' forget
Everyday it's a new problem
I can't seem to get ahead
Got another stab wound
From someone that I called a friend
Man I thought you was my sis
Man I thought we were locked In
Man I helped you out that ditch
Must be something that I missed
I don't wanna talk about it
Rather put it in my music
If you ever really loved me
Why the fuck you hurt my feelings
When you know my heart is pure
I only move with good intentions
Took advantage of my love
Now you can love me from a distance
When they prayin on your downfall
That be fuckin with your mental
I ain't sayin that I'm perfect
Yeah I've made some bad decisions
I done made it outta worse
This right here won't be no different
They can keep on throwing stones
Imma keep on fucking winning
Had to learn to love myself
My momma never taught me that
I don't blame her anymore
Had to let go of My past
She was doing what she could
With the love she never had
Fighting her own demons
Now I know that looking back
I've Never felt protected
My daddy couldn't do it
He went off and got married
To a woman who abused me
Then I went off and got married to
A man who did the same
Choked me up against the wall
While he was spitting in my face
Ya'll don't know the half of it
You just hear the rumors
Started by the same man
Who left me with these bruises
Playin puppeteer
Thinking that I'm stupid
Mad I found a man
Who treats me like you couldn't
My ex linking with his exes
Guess that's how rejection hits
Y'all can plot and trade your stories
Still don't change the truth a bit
I believe in second chances
It's the third one I won't give
If you think the shoe fits
Lace it up and wear it, bitch
They ain't like I started winning
Now the same ones throwing shade
Tryin act like they was with me
I ain't asking for acceptance
I was built for opposition
They was laughing at the vision
Now they watching how I'm living
I remember being broke
I remember every penny
Now I walk up in the bank
And they know me when I enter
I was down they disappeared
Funny how that shit gets different
When the numbers started climbing
Everybody want a percentage
You couldn't walk a mile in my shoes
Don't think you could come close to me
Had to learn to raise myself
Become who I was supposed to be
They say bloods thicker than water
Blood don't make you family
They wonder why my hearts so cold
My own family abandoned me
The second that I chose myself
Y'all showed me what it really is
Turned your backs because I left
A man who never gave a shit
Then mama went and got sick
And just like that, y'all fucking split
Tell me how we can forgive
