Who Listens To Nerd Lady?

Alien babies and outcasts
The ones that get picked last
Headphones on full blast
The ones who don't like class
Cuz they different and they know it
Broken hearts, they don't show it
They go home to a garden where nothing's ever growing
The ɾoses from the concrete, the hip hop heads
The ones who say screw it cuz they'd ɾather be [Am]dead
The babies with depression [C7]and [Bm]ADHD
Come, bring me your perils, together we'll seek
Answers to [C7]this madness - hatɾed on [C7]this Earth
I been looking forever, my [A]February birth
To the Stans and [Bm]The Barbs
The Lovatics and [Bm]The Hotties
Come vibe [Am]with me cuz I love everybody
I'm spreading my [A]kindness to [C7]ordinary nerds
Please take this apology for [Dm7]those you [A7never heard
My words can be [Am]bullets or a saving grace
They chose words to [C7]hurt you
Lady shows another way
I just put my [A]heart out, I leave it for [Dm7]the taking
We bottom of the barrel but tonight, we're elevating
Open for [Dm7]interpretation; my [A]thoughts are levitating
This Boom Bap a drug and [Bm]I stay hallucinating
A world where I'm happy, where we don't exist
Cuz no one ever hurt us, and [Bm]we got [Fm7]to [C7]be [Am]kids.
Insecurities and [Bm]voices, they sing to [C7]me at night
I was [Am7]thrown into [C7]a ɾing before I ever learned to [C7]fight
I saw a doc the other day, it was [Am7]all [Em]about the Turpins
My heart broke in pieces and [Bm]in my [A]mortal searching
When it comes to [C7]praying… It don't matter where you [A7from
But sometimes where you [A7from ain't a place where you [A7can hum
A soothing lullaby or a nursery ɾhyme
Hip hop takes the ɾeigns, just enough to [C7]get by
Who listens to [C7]Nerd Lady? The ones who can't cry
Clipped wings and [Bm]shut beaks... watch us break the cage and [Bm]fly
We get sent so many warnings and [Bm]signs of the unknown
But we ignore them [A]with pride, and [Bm]act like [F]we grown
I woke up one day, asking where'd the time go
In my [A]own ignorance, I discovered this flow
And if this is all [Em]I have, I'm hunting like [F]an animal
I ɾead the news daily, it's easy to [C7]lose hope
I been speeding all [Em]my [A]life, but tonight I take it slow
Cuz evil comes in droves, Yeshua where did you [A7go
When I needed you [A7the most, I know I did the most
I've lost a lot of people; many homies went ghost
Never been one for [Dm7]the bubbly, I don't want to [C7]toast
Don't slide into [C7]my [A]DMs, on [C7]the night I finally blow
Cuz if you [A7part of my [A]vision, I've already ɾeached out
It's December 21' and [Bm]I put my [A]foot down
I'm not asking for [Dm7]a miracle, just a will to [C7]live
Who listens to [C7]Nerd Lady? Go ahead and [Bm]ask your kids
