Frank Ocean - Read the Stars lyrics

rate me

I heard my teacher say that I'd be better off

If I just took what I've been given

They say I never know what to do

Unless I'm told

I feel underestimated, So unaccounted for

Then you want to call me to your office right after school

And tell me your version of my future

But let's take all the frames off the walls

I wanna see one diploma that says "you can read the stars"

don't talk me out of it

don't talk me out of it

it's my life, don't talk me out of my life

it's my life

I used to put an apple on Ms. Jacob's desk,

But she never liked me

She said I'm gon' fail, no matter what I give

She said 'cause my skin wasn't light enough

Tuition wasn't high enough

I couldn't understand just what I did.

So underestimated, You left me unaccounted for

Now you want to me your version of my future.

But let's take all the frames off the walls

I wanna see one diploma that says "you can read the stars"

don't talk me out of it

don't talk me out of it

it's my life, don't talk me out of my life

It's my life

Just tell me how

you're much better than me now

You tore me down till there was nothing left

Look at me, Look at me, Look at me, Look at me,

I'm still standing

Look at me

Look at me now, Look me in my eyes

But let's take all the frames off the walls

I wanna see one diploma that says "you can read the stars"

don't talk me out of it

don't talk me out of it

it's my life, don't talk me out of my life

It's my life

it's my life

it's my life
