Outro - Live

Lyrics

It's like, if you, if you give yourself up
 Listen, nobody can blackmail you with anything
 I'll never forget
 You know when I first
 Started to really understand what this was all about
 I just went to my parents
 And I just started confessing about stuff I did like in the second grade, seriously
 But we don't know how all that stuff from the time we're kids man
 All that repression
 All that stuff just holding you
 You know stuff out-
 Talking about boys feeling my booty in the second grade
 I mean I'm telling you, and I'm ashamed of that
 You know?
 Like no, like
 No other girl in this audience played run catch and kiss or any of those silly games
 You know?
 But just from a child, you know, just growing up with all of that guilt
 You know, and we think that that's God
 We think that's God
 Telling us feel guilty
 God is saying get free
 Confess man
 Understand that, look
 Everybody's going through that same stuff
 Same issues it's just a bunch of repression
 And I'm saying man, life is too
 Is too valuable, man
 For us to just sit here in this boxes all repressed
 You know?
 Afraid to admit what we're really going through
 You know what I'm saying?
 I'm tired of that
 I'll tell people, listen, I, I, you know, it's so funny was like
 You know, when I was trying to
 I'll never forget I was pregnant with my first, my son
 And I was trying to keep it a secret
 It was all of over the place
 You know?
 And I went everywhere and I said hey, I'm having another baby
 I didn't hear about it at all
 Y'know I was like man I said man, y'all just want to deal in stuff that people don't want out
 So now I just gave myself up
 Yeah, I'm having another child, yeah, yup
 What else would you like to know?
 Yeah I'm crazy and deranged
 You know and I'm free, you see? I'm free
 You know, I might play you songs and twitch a little bit
 Just so people know, you know
 Look, I'm telling you, when they think you're crazy they don't mess with you
 I'm telling you, you think
 Y'all think that's a curse, I'm telling you it's a blessing, it's a blessing
 When I was a, you know, a politician, well everybody
 Just all over me, you now, I didn't have a private moment at all
 Not not one private moment
 And now that people think I'm crazy and deranged, we peace, total peace
 And so, listen, as far as I'm concerned, I'm crazy and deranged
 Just far y'all know, I'm crazy and deranged, you know
 I'm emotionally unstable and I, and I'm not to going to ch-
 That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
 But uhm, we're gon' go
 Alex you alright?
 Ehehehe, yeah
 But I'm, I was very blessed to be able to share with y'all today
 You know, it's a joy for me to do that, thank you
