Keep on making riddles to decipher
Acha, que eu perco tempo com babaca? (Do you think i'd waste my time on a loser?)
Para! Looking like some kind of otária, haha (Stop! Looking like some kinda of sucker)
You don't know, you don't know, who I am
Ain't it a good game?
Funny how you take no blame
Vicious cycle of abuse, yeah you are the one to lose
Hurting people like a boss,
Yea you gotta bear that cross,
And you know that I been gone,
Got no times to waste on lies
Do you really see me?
Do you think I need you?
Do you see me minding your sorry ass business?
You should just be grateful that I'm even here, yo
Piece of advice, listen to the realest
You can't find peace if you don't take responsibility
Yeah, I'm flying high, yo
Nothing but first class, no
Last I waste on somebody so low,
M I K K A star rising to fame
Keep on (...)
Day and night I'm chilling
Chilling with my people
Yes, I know I'm blessed
Counting on my blessings
Gettin sikker, lifestyle
Always in my feelings
But that just the price
Please don't let me catch you snaking on the low
Tweeting on the low
Deceiving on the low
Just hating on the low
How could you be so low?
How could you be so low?
Loving takes a tow on you,
You betta dissapear
You betta run up to somebody other than me
Busy on my flight, busy on my high life
Claiming my goddamn crown
Better scream out loud!
Keep on (...)
Friendly reminded that I'm gifted
I'm blessed like a high priest
And you should shut your filthy mouth if you ever think about speaking on my name

Much like "Mic Drop", I felt triggered by conflict and I decided to externalize it. Although, during the initial creation of this song I went much harder and crueler, I decided to take a different route in the final product.
I am growing as a person, so is everyone else. And as annoyed and hurt I can be by this or that person who disrespect me, I can try and educate them into loving themselves better and taking more responsibility.
Still, I really went hard on my words. I tell somebody to disappear, meaning, I hope they stop harassing me with their Facebook statuses about me and my friends for that LIKE, I hope they let me live my delusional STARLIGHT lifestyle, I hope they realize that I'm blessed and I know it. And I see myself as somebody powerful enough to keep them away from me.
I used to imagine myself really having powers when I was a child. I would imagine myself using these powers to keep those who hurt me away, to hurt them back.
I think this song was a clap-back on abusive people although it also perpetuates a certain amount of abuse.
I'm still in the midst of my treatment, my healing process, and I am not in a space in which this song has stopped making sense.
I still don't enjoy cryptic Facebook posts about me and my day ones.
I still don't enjoy falsehood.
I still don't enjoy rumors.
I still don't enjoy bullying.
I still don't enjoy gaslighting.
I still don't enjoy abuse of friendships and minigames.

I am.
