Yea sleepy brown
What's here...
What's here...
Check it out (unh)
If I were u and u were me
Would u like what you see (ha, yea)
And tell me why u spread them lies
About my sexuality lil' old me
Just because u in my face
Doesn't mean u have to erase
What's inside of me oh can't u see
I don't pay it no mind
I'm just puttin' in my time
Until he sets me free (sets me free)
And then u'll see (you think you'll see)
Chorus:
Ain't nothin' but changes
Ain't nothin' but changes
Ain't nothin' but changes
Ain't nothin' but changes
And now it seems from everything
Someone has put a hold on me (umph, damn)
But I just try to keep my pride
Even though sometimes I cry (oh I cry)
But it seems u do me wrong
You never miss your well until your water is gone (it's all gone)
But I don't pay it no mind
I'm just puttin' in my time
Until he sets me free and then u'll see
Chorus
Yeah, sleepy brown, society of soul
Kickin' it with tlc
On that funk
That real
Y'all don't know nothin' about that
Y'all don't know nothin' about that (yeah, umph)
