Verse 1

You was never the girl everybody chased,
Never had a hundred comments under every picture page.
You was cool with the homies, cool with yourself,
Never measured your worth by nobody else.

Used to hit me up late just to talk for hours,
Dreaming ’bout a future, never cared about the power.
Had a little job, had a little stress,
But somehow back then everything felt less complex.

Now it’s bottles on the table, names on the guest list,
Everybody around you got an angle and a checklist.
Funny how the glow-up changed more than your clothes,
I been watching from a distance, hoping nobody knows.

Pre-Chorus

I see you smiling in the photos,
But I don’t know if it’s real.
You got everything you wanted,
Why don’t it feel like you feel?

Chorus

When did you get like this?
These niggas tainted your soul.
How do I get back to you?
Can we just talk about it?
You been gone way too long.
And I been holdin’ on too long.
Tryna find the girl I knew underneath it all.

Verse 2

Now everybody calling when you walk through the door,
Same people that ignored you before.
You got the city on lock, got the attention you wanted,
But every conversation feel rehearsed and robotic.

You don’t laugh like you used to,
Don’t dance like you used to.
Everything calculated,
Nothing natural like it used to.

Maybe I’m tripping,
Maybe that’s growth.
Maybe the old you gone
And that’s just something I should know.

But I remember who you were when nobody cared.
When nobody stared.
When nobody was there.
Back when your heart wasn’t guarded like a gated estate,
Before every move became a business play.

Pre-Chorus

I see you smiling in the photos,
But I don’t know if it’s real.
You got everything you wanted,
Why don’t it feel like you feel?

Chorus

Bridge

Maybe the money ain’t the problem,
Maybe the people around.
Maybe somewhere on the way up,
You got tired of being down.

And I can’t blame you for changing,
I know what the world can do.
I just wish all this winning
Didn’t come at the cost of you.

Final Chorus

Outro (Talk-Sing)

Yeah…

Everybody loves you now,
Everybody knows your name.

But I still miss that girl
That didn’t need any of this.

The girl that was cool before the world told her who she should be…

The girl underneath it all.
