As a child she would analyse lyrics
She would tear apart each word
and turn it into a gimmick
She used to play with the melodies
and beats and the words
She would come in singing things
that no one had heard
As a child she was
always pretty bright
Never bitching with the girls
or getting into fights
There was something in her head
and there was something
in her mind
There was something
going round
there was something
burning bright
This don't matter to me
soon I'll be on TV and
I won't have to dream
no more
This ain't got nothing on me
soon I'll be VIP
I'll be makin' money
being a G
going properly
Teachers used to say
What do you want to be
As soon as she says singer
they all look at her blankly like
Darling darling you need to
have a back up plan
Like what she said
Working in Matalan
Well quite frankly Miss
I've already applied
With the other thousand
applicants standing in the line but
that ain't my calling
I'm tired of your warnings cuz
I won't be falling
So move over darling
This don't matter to me
soon I'll be on TV and I won't have
to dream
no more
This ain't got nothing on me
soon I'll be VIP
I'll be making money
being a G
going properly
Now she's grown
she's all alone with
two kids screaming on the phone
It's landlord calling for his rent
but she's still stalling
cuz she can't pay again
And yes she's going to court today
For the dress she stole away
It was for a big audition
Oh my
She's on a mission to
show the teachers and the guys
she made something of herlife
There's something in her head
there's something in her mind
there's something going round
there's something burning bright
This don't matter to me
soon I'll be on TV and
I won't have to dream
no more
This ain't got nothing on me
soon I'll be VIP
I'll be making money
being a G
but it don't
come free
