[Verse 1]
They see me in meetings, making power moves
Got them all believing I can't ever lose
But if they only knew what's underneath
I'm holding it together, barely catching my breath
[Pre-chorus]
All these expectations weighing down
Every smile hiding a frown
Yeah, I made it to the top but now
I'm wondering how long I can hold this crown
[Chorus]
Boss in the streets but I still cry in my sheets
(Still cry, still cry)
Looking so strong but my heart's incomplete
(So incomplete)
Living two lives and I can't let them meet
Boss in the streets but I still cry in my sheets
[Verse 2]
Posted up on social, yeah I'm doing fine
Designer bags and hashtags, everything divine
But last night I broke down in my car
Mascara running, sitting there in the dark
Nobody sees the pressure building up
When the cameras stop, I've had enough
[Bridge]
Ayy-ya-ya-ya (Running, running)
Oh-whoa-oh (From myself)
Na-na-na-ya (Can't keep running)
Mmm-mmm (Need help)
[Solo]
[Atmospheric vocals and runs]
[Pre-chorus]
Maybe it's time to let somebody in
Stop pretending that I've never been
Anything less than perfectly strong
'Cause keeping up this act feels so wrong
[Chorus]
Boss in the streets but I still cry in my sheets
(Still cry, still cry)
Looking so strong but my heart's incomplete
(So incomplete)
Living two lives and I can't let them meet
Boss in the streets but I still cry in my sheets
[Outro]
I'm learning it's okay
To not be okay
(To not be okay)
