Disconnect (DEMO)

[Intro]
Yeah, ooh
Yeah, hold on, yeah
Yeah, okay, let me tell it
Okay, yeah
Yeah

[Chorus]
All I wanted was respect
Just want to be accepted
Too focused on being perfect
And now that I reflect
I was blind and I shouldn't have listened to what you said
Now there's a disconnect between me and you
Now I'm true to myself and I make my own moves
I used to try and be cool, impress the kids at school
But I wasn't being true to my Goddamn roots
Hol' up

[Verse]
I speak from my heart, not my throat
Said no longer I'd be told
The person I am, still finding myself
I really don't need you to hold me back
No holding me back, no more discussions 'bout that
Boy, it's a wrap
Used to worry about so-called “friends”, but they'd never hit me back
Like damn, look at how far I've come
But I've only just begun
I tried to run from the person that I was
Goddamn, how I was so dumb
But I don't need your judgement
Was somebody I wasn't
But now I'm here to change that
And take over the country, oh man

[Chorus]
All I wanted was respect
Just want to be accepted
Too focused on being perfect
And now that I reflect
I was blind and I shouldn't have listened to what you said
Now there's a disconnect between me and you
Now I'm true to myself and I make my own moves
I used to try and be cool, impress the kids at school
But I wasn't being true to my Goddamn roots
Hol' up (Hol' up)
