Frank Ocean - Read the Stars lyrics

[Frank Ocean - Read the Stars lyrics]

I heard my teacher say that I’d be better off
If I just took what I’ve been given
They said 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 your walls
I wanna see the 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 call me to
Your office right after school
And now you wanna tell me
Your version of my future

But let’s take all the frames off your walls
I wanna see the 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 your walls
I wanna see the 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
