I don't know who told you I was safe to play with

But they lied to you

Baby, you don’t scare me

You just don't know me yet

I come from a long line of rebels and rage

Pretty on the outside, but hell in my veins

You thought I was sweet 'cause I let you feel safe

Now you look real nervous ’cause you finally gotta face me

I come from a long line of don't-test-me women

Soft heart, sharp mouth, and a temper with a mission

They don't know, they don't know

but they 'bout to learn today

My whole bloodline avoids me when I'm in a bad mood, baby

I wasn't raised soft, I was raised to survive

Smile in the daylight, keep a blade in my mind

I seen fake love, real hate, bad blood (Bad)

People switch up then act shocked when I'm done

I don’t need to act hard, I was built like this

Trauma in my roots and a crown on my head

I tried peace first, but peace got tired

Now I’m standing in the smoke like I started the fire

You thought I was quiet 'cause I didn’t wanna speak

Knew I was saving your pride from the version underneath

Don't mistake grown for scared, little girl

I been through hell, came back, and shook the world

Mm, I got patience, but don't press it

I got mercy, but don't expect it

I got a good heart, but a bad reaction

And once I’m done, there ain't no comin' back from it

I come from a long line of rebels and rage

Pretty on the outside, but hell in my veins

You thought I was sweet 'cause I let you feel safe

Now you look real nervous 'cause you finally gotta face me

I come from a long line of don't-test-me women

Soft heart, sharp mouth, and a temper with a mission

They don't know, they don't know

but they 'bout to learn today

My whole bloodline avoids me when I'm in a bad mood, baby

You can talk slick, you can lie real pretty

You can play victim when the truth gets gritty

You can twist the story, make yourself look clean

But I keep receipts like a broke bitch keeps dreams

I know that game, I know that mask, I know that, who? Me?

When you get called on your trash

You ain't misunderstood, you're just used to excuses

And ask your audience for delusion, no bullshit

I'm not the one that you get to play with

I'm not the one that you get to shank with

You want it soft? Go find a weak link

I'm Queen Butterfly, bitch, I don't blink

Ask my family why they don't poke that bear

Ask old friends why they still don't dare

Ask anybody who has seen that side

I don't do warnings more than one good time

I don't chase revenge, I let truth get violent

I don't scream first, I get real damn silent

That's when they know, that's when they move

That's when the whole room feels my mood

Rebels and rage, felons and fighters

Crazy motherfuckers, they's my survivors

Don't give a fuck, don't ask for permission

The blood in my veins came with bad decisions

Butterfly wings, but don't touch the cage

I'm healed enough to know better

still petty enough to engage

You thought I was harmless?

That's cute, baby, maybe

I come from a long line of rebels and rage

I come from a long line of rebels and rage

Pretty on the outside, but hell in my veins

You thought I was sweet 'cause I let you feel safe

Now you look real nervous 'cause you finally gotta face me

I come from a long line of don't-test-me women

Soft heart, sharp mouth, and a temper with a mission

They don't know, they don't know

but they 'bout to learn today

My whole bloodline avoids me when I'm in a bad mood, baby

So next time you feel brave

Check my history

I ain't sayin' I'm crazy

I'm just sayin' I come by it honestly
