Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Wait, who the fuck is this?

Brand new looking bitch I see

In the mirror, just caught her staring back at me?

Come to think of it

I been realizing things

I outgrew my shell

Now I wanna grow some wings

I been stupid, I been foolish

Tried to keep it down

Had myself an intervention

Aired my whole shit out

See this new horizon in my life

And I say, "Wow" things that were so quiet in me

Now I say it loud

All focus, all belief

I'm goin' in on me

I'm only moving forward

Why is it hard to see

That sexy future me

I'm steady letting go for?

So I tell myself (myself)

I don't need a magazine

Screaming praise for me

Just to know my wealth (my wealth)

I'm not into gambling

But I bet on me

When I hear that bell (ding!)

Know it's time to switch the vibe

Leave the girl behind that I know so well (well)

So I say farewell, well, well, well

I'm so grateful 'cause she taught me to know my worth

And move out the road things that do no longer serve

Come to think of it, shit was getting on my nerves

Bitch, you really did start a fire, let it burn

Never know you're capable

If you do not evolve (not evolve)

Right before you start to walk

All bitches have to crawl (have to crawl)

Give yourself some credit

Self-improvement takes some balls (takes some balls)

Try to trust the process and be present for it all

All focus, all belief

I'm goin' in on me

I'm only moving forward

Now I can clearly see

That sexy future me

I'm steady letting go for

So I tell myself (myself)

I don't need a magazine

Screaming praise for me

Just to know my wealth (my wealth)

I'm not into gambling

But I bet on me

When I hear that bell (ding! ding!)

Know it's time to switch the vibe

Leave the girl behind that I know so well (know so well)

So I say farewell, well, well, well

Farewell, goodbye

Adiós, sayonara

Farewell, goodbye

Adiós, sayonara
