Recess Lyrics

I was too young to see the truth
In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume
Too naive to even care
'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair

People gonna say
"If you need a break, someone'll take your place"
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (just remember)

Don't let them, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you
Baby, just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done
Everything I wanted has come to fruition
I should be happy, but I can't get out my bed
Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head

People gonna say
"If you need a break, someone'll take your place"
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)

Don't let them, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you
Baby, just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

Where is my time?
Gone in my mind, gone, I can't find
Euphoria
When I get upset
I think in my head, "I do as she said"

People gonna say
"If you need a break, someone'll take your place"
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (just remember)

Don't let them, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you
Baby, just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
