Listen up, settle down
Without a shadow of doubt
I'm not the girl you knew before
So if you thought I was
Taking it, taking it easy
Taking it, taking it easy
Getting my thrills, getting my deals
Say this is not for me
I'm too wild for this world
Ever since I was a girl
Like a diamond or a pearl
Feeling the pressure, yeah
Pushing on, pushing on me, yeah
Crushing on, crushing on me, yeah
Making me ill, gotta be still
Say this is not for me
I'm a believer, lord, try to keep the faith
Maybe I'm done with this bittersweet place
Too dark (too dark)
Don't let them tell you you're too dark (too dark)
Don't let them tell you you're too dark
How great thou art
I used to be somebody, I heard her say
Don't let them tear me to pieces, babi
Society
La, ah, I'm
Sorry I let you down
Heavy the head with the crown
Couldn't fit into this town
It's different for girls like me
Taking it, taking it easy
Taking it, taking it easy
Now she's on pills, just can't be still
Say this is not for me
Guess I'm too wild for this world
Ever since I was a girl
Like a diamond or a pearl
Forged under pressure, but it's
Crushing on, crushing on me, yeah
Pushing on, pushing on me, yeah
Making me ill, I gotta be still
Say this is not for me, no nonono
I used to be somebody, I heard her say
(Don't let them) Tear me to pieces, babi
Society, yeah
(Just smile and) Oh, just
Look at all this bread, look at all this honey
Look at all these cars and look at all this money
We might take a walk in the park after dark
In this town of broken dreams, where nothing ever lasts
(You let them) Look at all these things, who pulling all the strings
Baby's got back and, yeah, she a buff ting, oh
London's on fire, we're tryna break free
Your dreams might expire, you might not get hired, no
Look at what we're dealing with and look at what we're taught, ah
How did we become so low, do we really need this though?
Look at all these stars, rising from their graves
Look at all the ones who making money from their face
Look at all these things, look at all this money
Look at all these cars, and isn't it funny
Might take a walk in the park, through the dark
Can't you see, oh
We built this (we built this house)
On rocky ground (built this house)
We built this (we built this house)
On rocky ground (built this house)
Too dark
Don't let them tell you you're too smart
Don't let them tell you you're too large
Don't let them tell you you're too much
What, too much for you? Too dark?
Don't let them tell you you're too smart
Don't let em tell you you're too smart
Don't let them tell you you're too much, you're too mu-uch
Too la-arge, too mu-uch
Don't let them tell you, ooh just dah-dah-dum, lalalah la da, dah
Mm, da da da dah, too dark
Too dark, oh whoa
Don't let them, mm hmm
