Savage Child

Intro

Yuh, listen up, let me share a tale,

'Bout the haters, and how they prevail,

They talk, they talk, but I don't care,

'Cause when they hate, it just shows they're aware,

Of the fire that I'm spittin', the flames that I bear,

Got my gang with me, and we're always fair,

Arianna, Briana, Aria, Bella, they know my name,

But I know the fake ones, and I'm always on the claim,

Verse

A little context, if you care to listen,

I found myself in a bad position,

The family that I loved, had their daughter last night,

And God told me that it was over, but I didn't listen,

I was stuck, couldn't move, couldn't breathe,

But then I thought 'bout my younger self, and what I'd say to me,

Hey, younger self, I hope you're doin' well,

Every day, I pray, I think about you, I always say good things about you,

Got sista, and she's kinda tiring you,

But it does mess with your life, a bit, it's true,

But knowin' your savage self, you gon' make it, in a day or two,

You'll rise up, and you'll shine, and you'll make it through,

Chorus

I'm a savage, but I'm still a child,

Tryna find my way, tryna stay wild,

I'm a product of the struggle, of the pain,

But I won't let it break me, I won't let it claim,

My family always says I'm a bad child,

Throwin' me away, into the bad pile,

All my life, been puttin' on a fake smile,

But I'm still standin', and I'm still worth your while,

Verse

I'm talkin' to my younger self, but also me right now,

Tryna figure out, how to turn it around,

The haters, they don't matter, they just fuel my fire,

I'm a warrior, I'm a fighter, I'm a soul on desire,

I'm tryna find my way, through the dark and the light,

I'm tryna make it right, I'm tryna make it feel just right,

Arianna, Briana, Aria, Bella, they know my name,

But I know the fake ones, and I'm always on the claim,

My family problems, they made me savage, they made me cold,

But I'm still a child, tryna find my way, tryna grow old,

Verse

I'm a reflection of my past, but I'm tryna move forward,

I'm tryna leave the pain, and the struggle, and the hurt, and the horror,

I'm tryna find my voice, I'm tryna make some noise,

I'm tryna rise up, and I'm tryna choose,

To be the best version, of myself, that I can be,

To be the savage, that I'm meant to be,

I'm talkin' to my younger self, but also me right now,

Tryna figure out, how to turn it around,

The haters, they don't matter, they just fuel my fire,

I'm a warrior, I'm a fighter, I'm a soul on desire,

skrrt, yuh, ayy, come, come to me, na-na, hey, ya, (go, go), (let me be, be), (watching), uh-huh, yeah, (da da da), (wham-bam)
