Red Dress

Life's gonna bring you down baby
You gotta learn to smile
So put on your red dress darling now
Life's gonna mess you up baby
You gotta learn to fake
So put on your dress, darling now

They think I'm covered in diamonds, covered in jewels
Didn't have to pay for my Mary Jane shoes
That I didn't get a crown and I guess they're kinda' right
Cause I never won a medal in my whole life
Let me take you back to my school, I used to act out
Used to throw shit and then I dropped out
Was a sad kid, used to freak out
Why's no one listening to me? I used to reach out

And now they're all like: What she can sing and stuff?
If you supported me back then you'd be backstage and stuff
See no it's always been me and my mother
We're proving them wrong, uplifting each other
But bitches be thinking that I didn't earn it
That I don't deserve it, they're hurting my mother, so oh

Life's gonna bring you down baby
You gotta learn to smile
So put on your red dress darling now
Life's gonna mess you up baby
You gotta learn to fake
So put on your dress darling now

You see I work hard and I pull through
I had these dreams everyday at school
I didn't do drugs, I didn't go to parties
Playing my guitar in my room with my Barbies, yeah
When I'm onstage I am in my zone
While every other bitch scroll, scrolls their phone
And they're looking at me with a face like woah
We used to know the girl on the radio

Look now, I've been down all my life
Treated like shit, treated unkind
I've been the devil I've prayed to at night
I've been the angel 'cause I've seen the light but yeah
There is no reason to hate what I do
To bully me now just like we're in school
And the only reason I think that it's true
Is you hate yourself and the problem is you

And they're all like saying: Oh you're never gonna be famous
You're never gonna be famous, and I'm just there like
Watch me baby, watch me

So yeah I know that these bitches want hold of me
Dragging me down are they trying to flirt with me
Seems like they're mostly obsessed with the whole of me
Wanting to be me just clone my autonomy
If maybe they focused on what they were doing
Not what I was wearing or what I was chewing
Then maybe they'd see how much time they are wasting
Just blaming me for all their procrastination
I'm done this is the end of my anger I need to sit down
Need to remember that I am the princess inside my own movie

I write my own story, I am the director
And all of the people that doubt me feel stupid
That they didn't believe me when I said I'd do it
They're hitting me up and they're asking for tickets
We knew you would make it, we knew you'd be famous
But yeah, where were you when I was playing to room of ten
Rooms full of drunken dudes?
Seems I remember that you said you'd make it
But you never made it, I waited and everything

Line them up one by one all the ones that did me wrong
From the pain you made me strong
Princess puppy kill them all
