PIGGYBACK Lyrics
I was three years old
All I wanted was the music and
My parents were doing everything they could
To move away from our place working over time always
While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring

Ooh
Moved to a small town and 
Started to started to grow
Poetry written I’m singing and dancing
Ooh
Photographs painting cartoons 
That's all I know
That's all I know

I have one best friend to this very fucking day
Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away
I wish I never did cause she’s the only one who sees me for who I really am instead of how many I reach

Ooh 
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt 
I was so wrong
I cut them off and they came for blood cause they know
They ain't getting no more

I’m so done with playing piggy back Ooh
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best Ooh
You’re lying your way to try and gain a piece of me when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this
tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

Now I’m 22 and I've had a crazy year of
Isolation from all the plastic people here 
I can not wait for the day I can finally move away back to New York city where the realest people really stay

Ooh
Spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close 
Trying to learn and evolve

I’m so done with playing piggy back Ooh
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best Ooh
You’re lying your way to try and gain a piece of me 
when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this
Tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

I’m so done with playing piggy back
Ooh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best
Ooh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me 
when you could never come close cause I know my destiny

Official lyrics: 
(I don't know what makes me dream
But I know what makes me think)
You've got blue eyes like the sky
I feel part of you inside of me that will never die

I love you,
You'll make my dreams come true

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Don't fog my mind
How can I escape
From irresistible place

Nowhere to run, nowhere to ride
Don't fog my mind

I love you,
You make my dreams come true

I've been trying hard to get away
But your love has
Come to stay
All the way
All the way

It's gonna stay forever
Maybe I should know better
It feels like a wish
Feels like a wish
Coming true
