Recess - Rhymes 'n' Rhythm

I was too young to see the truth In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume Too naive to even care 'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair People gonna say "If you need a break, someone'll take your place" People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (just remember) Don't let them, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you Baby, just say, "Recess, I'm tired" Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done Everything I wanted has come to fruition I should be happy, but I can't get out my bed Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head People gonna say "If you need a break, someone'll take your place" People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (Just remember) Don't let them, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you Baby, just say, "Recess, I'm tired" Where is my time? Gone in my mind, gone, I can't find Euphoria When I get upset I think in my head, "I do as she said" People gonna say "If you need a break, someone'll take your place" People gonna try To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes (just remember) Don't let them, honey, no, oh Don't let them try (ooh) Don't let them hurt you Baby, just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
