To be me

[Chorus]
I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to be me"
I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could be
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be me"

[Verse 1]
Off my face at a stranger's party
I was asleep and he touched my body
Wished I could think but my brain is foggy
I did nothing wrong, why do I feel sorry?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause they tell us that we should take care of ourselves
That if we dress like this then we've asked to be felt

[Chorus]
I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to bе me"
I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could bе
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be"

[Verse 2]
Black in America, black and shopping
Black on a jog in the lot apartment
Black in the car on the sidewalk dancing
They did nothing wrong, why are they in heaven?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause they tell us that we're only meant for ourself
That if we look like this then we've asked to be killed

[Chorus]
I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to be me"
I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could be
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be me"

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh
To be me
Ooh-ooh
Baby, oh, oh-ooh
