None of this happened overnight
The success came easy, yeah right
No I didn't drop out
I'm still here flexin'
Lost a lot of friends 'cause I'm never resting
Gained a lot of love, not an ego
I'm blessed, you know
I used to go with the flow, but
Rest in peace to the girl I used to be
I grew up, took off, focused on me
I can't stop, won't stop
Yeah what you don't see is
Behind the scenes
That's what made me the queen
Worked hard for months
Never made a dollar bill
Just living off a thrill
Starving artist for real
Drove 106 miles round trip yeah day
Did it all on my own, for my brand, my name
You're doing that for free
I told them wait, you'll see
Hard work pays off
Where's your college degree
I'm not giving up 'cause of your jealousy
Keep throwing your shade
And I will still succeed
And don't come crawling back when you see me
On your TV and in the magazines
'Cause I don't need fake friends or fake love
Just the one's who've got my back because
Rest in peace to the girl I used to be
I grew up, took off, focused on me
I can't stop, won't stop
Yeah what you don't see is
Behind the scenes
That's what made me the queen
I'm so full of determination
I'm just tryna be an inspiration
Good vibrations
Meditation
Motivation
Now I'm activated and I do not need your affirmation
'Cause I'm shining like a constellation
Thanks to dedication
Rejected temptation
Built a foundation
Say I'm going places but I'm in the same location
Tryna get this education
And becoming a sensation, what's up
Rest in peace to the girl I used to be
I grew up, took off, focused on me
I can't stop, won't stop
Yeah what you don't see is
Behind the scenes
That's what made me the queen
