Emily the Famous

Lyrics

Verse 1
I grew up too fast
Learned the hard way
Every scar on my skin
Had a name and a date

I know what I know
From the floor and the rain
From a busted front step
And a heart full of pain

I'm self made, baby
No gold hand me down
I picked up my pieces
When they laughed at the ground

Been through hell
Still standing in it
Walk a mile in my shoes
You won't even begin

Pre-Chorus
Pain changes people
It changed me twice
One more hard lesson
Made me bite back right

So tell me where to go
When I got no place
If I lose my footing
I still know my face

Chorus
It's all I got
It's all I got
Me, myself, and I
That's my bloodline talk

It's all I got
It's all I got
I'm Emily the famous
Watch me take that spot

(It's all I got)

Verse 2
I kept my head low
While they counted me out
Had dirt on my jeans
And a fire in my mouth

They sold pretty lies
I sold what was real
A broken-back work ethic
And a heart that can heal

Fuck the system, yeah
Fuck the ones who grin
Try to chain a wild one
And she'll bite through skin

Can't break a bird's wings
Then ask it to climb
You'll only get silence
And a body that lies

Pre-Chorus
Pain changes people
It made me sharp
I learned how to shine
From a hole in the dark

So if you want the truth
Come stand in my lane
I was built from pressure
I was made from strain

Chorus
It's all I got
It's all I got
Me, myself, and I
That's my bloodline talk

It's all I got
It's all I got
I'm Emily the famous
Watch me take that spot

(It's all I got)

Bridge
What would life be like
If I didn't walk alone?
Would I still hear thunder
In every bone?

I don't need your pity
I don't need your crown
I just need my name
When the world goes down

Final Chorus
It's all I got
It's all I got
Me, myself, and I
That's my bloodline talk

It's all I got
It's all I got
I'm Emily the famous
And I won't fold back

(It's all I got)
(I'm Emily the famous)
