This Bird Solange

[Verse 1]
Once in a time where the girls feel like girls
And the world is painted cotton candy
Where the sweet lemonade of McGregor Street
Was the best damn thing of the summer breeze
Your dad drives a foreign car
And your mama looks like a beauty queen

[Verse 2]
Now the sour bitter days of a colorless place
Seems to light up my nights somehow
And the music I play must be loud, loud, loud, loud, loud as can be
So, I don’t have to hear myself think
So, I don’t have to wake up from this dream

[Verse 3]
I don’t wanna sing no single mama blues
I’m not singin', "Look at me, I’ve been abused"
Oh, I’m another silly lost girl staring at you
So, maybe I’ll put on my high heel shoes
And soar the night away
And soar the night away
But whatever I do…

[Chorus 1]
I’m not gonna slow this bird down
I don't wanna look life in the eye
I'm not gonna fall face first in the spiral called a life
I’m not in denial, I’m not suicidal
Not an alcoholic, I’m not out here hoeing
So, just shut the fuck up
This bird’s not slowing down
