I grew up in my grandma's house
That's why I gotta old soul now
That's why I don't even really go out
I'm better off alone than to be around
Cuz she taught me isolation
When it comes to love I'm disconnected
I stay to myself I'm protective
Parents choose they 9 to 5 over me
Now I'm selective
Little more grown
I'm tryna move on
Better me now
How my life still flawed
Try to stay calm
Keep a steady pace
Been through the fire
It's why I keep a straight face
Keep a straight face
And how do I get over their mistakes
(Been through the fire it's why I keep a straight face)
Where is your personality they all say
You gotta let the people know you ain't fake
And when you gone start being yourself again
I don't know maybe I lost that back in 2010
Cuz I ain't been the same since that operation
I actually went twice wide awake on the table
Gave away what I couldn't handle then
My folks never taught me how to handle men
I'm a little more grown I'm tryna move on
Better me now how my life still flawed
Stay calm keep a steady pace
Been through the fire it's why I keep a straight face
(Oooo ahhh)
Keep a straight face
And how do I get over my mistakes
(Been through the fire it's why I keep a straight face)
