lirik lagu prophecies – j. maya
[verse 1]
when you were my age, you gave up your world
already married, raising a girl
clinging to pages that never unfurled
it must’ve been a whirlwind
you kept yourself drunk on childhood dreams
they tore at your heart, you tore at the seams
and when i grew up, you passed ’em to me
but i don’t know how to hold them (hmm*mm)
[pre*chorus]
broken prophecies you carried overseas
to give me the life that you knew you couldn’t lead
i know i’m not the girl that you thought i’d be
but even if you can’t believe it
[chorus]
everything i do, i do it for you
all the prophecies, they came true
i’m living in the world you wanted me to
even if it doesn’t look that way to you
everything i do, i do it for you
you gave it all up, so i don’t have to
i’ll take your sacrifice and make it brand new
i promise everything i do
[post*chorus]
i do it for you
i do it for you
[verse 2]
i cut off my hair and colored my clothes
dabbled in boys, i wasn’t supposed to
all of the things you always opposed
and i still turned out okay (hmm*mm)
’cause i built my life for no one but me
hoping one day, you’ll finally see
i learned through your eyes, what it means to be free
turns out there’s more than one way
[pre*chorus]
broken prophecies of what my life could be
i’ma see ’em through just a little differently
i know it’s hard for you to put your trust in me
but even if you can’t believe it
[chorus]
everything i do, i do it for you
all the prophecies, they came true
i’m living in the world you wanted me to
even if it doesn’t look that way to you
everything i do, i do it for you
you gave it all up, so i don’t have to
i’ll take your sacrifice and make it brand new
i promise everything i do
[post*chorus]
i do it for you
i do it for you
[bridge]
look at what we did, look how far we came
you stood half a lifetime in the face of shame
teaching me to take pride in my name
so i wouldn’t have to do the same
look at all the mountains, mountains that we climbed
you stayed on the ground, so i could touch the sky
every time your voice fell to the side
they’ll hear it when they’re listening to mine
[outro]
so, all the prophecies you carried overseas
i’ll keep them alive as long as they are mine to keep
and when my time has come to raise a family
i’ll let them choose how to read it
