[Intro]
Special
(Pa-pa-pa)
(Pa-pa-pa)
(Pa-pa-pa)
(Pa-pa-pa)
Special (Ooh)
(Ooh)
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning to somebody in a video
Talking about something I posted in a video
If it wasn't me then would you even get offended
Or is it just because I'm black and heavy? Y'all don't hear me though
I've been the same since I've been driving slow on Bissonnet
Call up anybody I know and they would tell you that
Famous, pretty, new, but I've been used to people judging me
That's why I move the way I move and why I'm so in love with me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm used to feeling alone, oh
So, I thought that I'd let you know
[Chorus]
In case nobody told you today, you're special (Special)
In case nobody made you believe, you're special (Special)
Well, I'll always tell you the same, you're special
I'm so glad that you're still with us
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (Special)
[Interlude]
(Pa-pa-pa)
(Pa-pa-pa)
(Pa-pa-pa)
(Pa-pa-pa)
[Verse 2]
Could you imagine a world where everybody's the same?
And you can cancel a girl 'cause she just wanted to change
How can you throw fucking stones if you ain't been through her pain?
That's why we feel so alone, that's why we feel so much shame, hm
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm used to feeling alone, oh
So, I thought that I'd let you know (Hey!)
[Chorus]
In case nobody told you today, you're special (Special)
In case nobody made you believe, you're special (Special)
Well, I'll always tell you the same, you're special
I'm so glad that you're still with us
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (Perfect)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) I know that I'm not alone, oh
(Ooh) So, I thought that I'd let you know (Oh, yeah, yeah, ah)
[Chorus]
In case nobody told you today, you're special (Special) (Yeah)
In case nobody made you believe (Oh), you're special (Special) (Yeah)
Well, I'll always tell you the same, you're special (Special)
I'm so glad that you're still with us (I'm so glad, so glad, so glad)
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect (I'm so glad, so glad, so glad)
[Outro]
Special
You are, you are, you are so
Special
Mm-mm
Hey
