Vultures

Queens is like frontline, because, like, we used to be in the back, okay

I think we play a big, big role in gangs, that... I think gangs never realize

What position that a Queen could play, okay

Until we started having our own voice

I wish, I wish, I wish

I could be what you want me to

I could love you like I'm s'posed to do

Fuck you like you like you need me to

I know that what you hopin', boo

I wish, I wish, I wish

I could be the girl of your dreams

The one you fantasize about

The one you tell your parents 'bout

You take me and your niggas out

But I keep getting in my own way

And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay

I'm willing to stay, baby

And I keep giving my demons away

But please believe me that ain't me

It ain't me

It's my vultures

Ooh baby, it's my vultures

They keep on circling me

Circling me

I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish I didn't love alone a lot

I know you like me in your spot

But I need room to roam about

That's fucking with your future plots

You see but I know, I know, I know

I'm never gon' be home to you

I'm never gon' be home by 2

I'll never be this perfect glue

That pulls together what you choose

But I keep getting in my own way

And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay

Willing to stay, baby

And I keep giving my demons away

But please believe me that ain't me

It ain't me

It's these vultures

Ooh baby, these vultures

Keep on circling me

Circling me

It's cool, it's cool, I'm not mad at you

If you choose to lose your faith in us too

I'll be okay (Okay), I know you like shit your way (Your way)

It's killing me because I won't be this cliche idea of happy

Know I'll be okay, you know I like shit my way

'Cause I keep getting in my own way

And I know that I'm fucking up but I'm really hoping to stay

Willing to stay, baby

And I'll keep giving my demons away

But please believe me that ain't me

It ain't me

Baby, it's these vultures

Baby, it's my vultures

They keep on circling me

I'll never be the same after I've been treated like the dirt you left on my hands

The dirt I had to dig through to sell your records, to make your money, to build your name

I hear the wolves dressed in suits

Selling dreams like bait in dress shoes

Can you hear them?

They show their teeth like white pearls coated with meat

From all the girls they'd like to eat

I prayed I wouldn't see these wolves haunting me

They're running fast, see their feet

Those packs of wolfs with suits and deeds

Tempting the girls with pretty things

To share them piece by piece

Can't you hear?

Can't you hear them howling?

Can't you hear?

Can't you hear them howling?

Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo

Hoo-hoo-hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh, can't you hear?

Can't you hear them howling?

Oh, whoa
