Special

Woke up this morning to somebody in a video

Talking about something I posted in a video

If it wasn't me then would you even get offended?

Or is it just because I'm black and heavy?

Y'all don't hear me though

I've been the same since I've been driving slow on Bissonnet

Call up anybody I know and they would tell you that

Fame is pretty new, but I've been used to people judging me

That's why I move the way I move and why I'm so in love with me

I'm used to feeling alone, oh

So, I thought that I'd let you know

In case nobody told you today

You're special (special)

In case nobody made you believe

You're special (special)

Well, I will always love you the same

You're special

I'm so glad that you're still with us

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (perfect, special)

Special (ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

Could you imagine a world where everybody's the same?

And you could cancel a girl 'cause she just wanted to change

How could you throw fucking stones if you ain't been through her pain?

That's why we feel so alone, that's why we feel so much shame, hmm

I'm used to feelin' alone, oh

So, I thought that I'd let you know (hey)

In case nobody told you today

You're special (special)

In case nobody made you believe

You're special (special)

Well, I will always love you the same

You're special

I'm so glad that you're still with us

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (perfect, perfect)

(Ooh) I know that I'm not alone, oh

(Ooh) so I thought that I'd let you know (you know)

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Yeah, yeah (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

In case nobody told you today

You're special (special)

In case nobody made you believe (oh-oh)

You're special (yeah)

Well, I will always love you the same (love you, yeah)

You're special (special)

I'm so glad that you're still with us (I'm so glad, so glad, so glad)

Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (I'm so glad, so glad, so glad)

(Special)

You are, you are, you are so

(Special)

Mm-mm

Hey
