[Verse 1]
I’m staying away
I’m wide away
Can u see me baby
I’m gaining weight
My hair is wave
My skin is brown
My ass is round
I move through town
Have u seen me later
I don’t need the talk
I been on my own lane
I been picking locks
They don’t love me
They hate on me
So I got to leave
In li
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my face low
Let the rumors blow
You want the old me
I’m already gone
I can feel the shift
When I walk in
So I take my space
And I don’t look back
[Chorus]
I’m staying away
I’m staying away
Can u see me baby
I’m staying away
They don’t love me
They just want a show
I’m gaining weight
And I’m letting go
I’m staying away
I’m staying away
Say my name softly
Then let me fade away
[Verse 2]
Hair in the wind now
No more chasing signs
Brown skin shining
I reclaimed my time
Round in my body
Sharp in my mind
If you couldn’t hold me
That was by design
I don’t need favors
I don’t need smoke
I need some quiet
And a different road
They don’t love me
I seen it clear
So I packed my pride up
And disappeared
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my face low
Let the rumors blow
You want the old me
I’m already gone
I can feel the shift
When I walk in
So I take my space
And I don’t look back
[Chorus]
I’m staying away
I’m staying away
Can u see me baby
I’m staying away
They don’t love me
They just want a show
I’m gaining weight
And I’m letting go
I’m staying away
I’m staying away
Say my name softly
Then let me fade away
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
If you loved me
You should’ve said it right
Not when I’m missing
Out of sight
Now I bloom alone
With my chin held high
You can keep that noise
I’m choosing life
[Final Chorus]
I’m staying away
I’m staying away
Can u see me baby
I’m staying away
They don’t love me
They just want a show
I’m gaining weight
And I’m letting go
I’m staying away
I’m staying away
Say my name softly
Then let me fade away
