Trading Places Lyrics

You are so beautiful.

Yeah, you're so beautiful

So beauty (So beauty)

So beauty (So beauty)

And you are so beautiful

But now you are not you

And if you only knew

That the real you, the real you is beautiful baby

You are so beautiful

But now you are not you

And if you only knew

That the real you, the real you is beautiful baby.

You used to be the flyest girl ever

Now you took a step back cause they said it was better

If you walk with them, get your head up out them clouds

You were doing too much, but look at you now.

Winthorpe, trading places for a dollar

Trading thoughts and class for a pass and a holler

Forget school, only make it in your plans

If posting grades and graduations get you likes up on the gram

These days, see I question who I am

Question if I really like my friends, if I really love my fam

Birthday posts doing the most church flow vacay…

Is it really for the fans?

Who am I when I'm by myself

Where are they when I cry myself to sleep

When life gets the best part of me I'm tryna be,

Can't say I love it. It's her that does, that ain't really me.

And you are so beautiful

But now you are not you

And if you only knew

That the real you, the real you is beautiful baby

You are so beautiful

But now you are not you

And if you only knew

That the real you, the real you is beautiful baby.

You used to be your church boy dressed down to the socks

But used to get clowned by homies on the block

Church was a block, couldn't get through to homies or honeys then

So you traded in the word of God for words with friends

It's all pretend, like they ain't really got you

They semi-got the you with the semi and glock that's not you

What's a three letter word for love? It's God, man.

Who love you if they don't? Yeah, your mom can.

These streets don't love you like she do

She sees, knows and loves the real you.

You been lit before they talked up the term.

We've been straight before they slapped us with perm

When will we stop to hold to what we got

Before the Christopher Columbuses see the beauty of us and then affirm.

And you are so beautiful

But now you are not you

And if you only knew

That the real you, the real you is beautiful baby

You are so beautiful

But now you are not you

And if you only knew

That the real you, the real you is beautiful baby.
