[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1 - sing-sung, swagger, controlled heat] Had opinions on my volume Said I filled the room wrong Took up too much air Laughed too loud Cared too hard Like visible was a crime Without your permission Dialed me down Bite size White noise With a nice smile And a thank you for the crumbs [Pre-Chorus - building, sharper] So I shrunk For a minute Oh so quiet Lil' me so grateful A version that Didn't need anything From nobody You know what? I disappeared And you didn't care So— [Chorus - MASSIVE, chantable, defiant] Am I too much? Go fuck less Was I never enough? You couldn't handle it And blamed it on love Am I too much? Go fuck better Was I never enough? Cuz I've asked it for years And the answer was— Well, it was sub-par! [Verse 2 - rap, harder, faster, meaner with a grin] The thing about shrinking is It only works once Second time you try it and Your body says nah I'd rather be an earthquake Than the thing that holds still I'd rather break your ceiling Than make myself fit in Got called difficult I call it a feature You made it dramatic I say it's being alive And if it's too much There's the door Looks great, doesn't it? [Pre-Chorus - darker, bass heavier] See, you loved The trailer Not the movie The highlight reel [Chorus - bigger, harder] Am I too much? Go fuck less Was I never enough? Had the whole thing and panicked And called it too rough Am I too much? Go fuck better Was I never enough? Stop asking me cuz That's above your range I'm done dumbing it down [Bridge - rap, bass and voice, ice cold] See the people who say "too much" Never had plenty enough to give They measure love in teaspoons Wonderin' why they're starving where they live I poured it out in gallons And you choked on every drop Complained about the flood While standing in a drought you wouldn't stop Wanted the lighting dimmer Wanted the music down Wanted the version of me that fits Inside your little crown Get it? [Diva Solo - sung to belt, the kill] So let me answer it One last time Am I too much? Fuck yeah! Absolutely! Unapologetically so! Too loud, too bright Too alive for your little ego *laughing* Was I never enough? Oh babe! I was plenty! YOU just didn't have the hands for it I am the version of me You were afraid to love I will never be less I'm everythin' you couldn't hold And that is a YOU problem I'm the too much That somebody else Is gonna thank God for [Chorus - final, everything] Am I too much? Go fuck less Was I never enough? I stopped caring' That's your answer Am I too much? Go fuck better Was I never enough? I was yours And you fucked up [Instrumental Fade Out]
