**[Intro]**

Special

**[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)

I will 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)

**[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 stones if you ain't been through her pain?

That's why we feel so alone, that's why we feel so much shame, mmh

**[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)

Hey!

**[Bridge]**

I know it's been hard, but I'm so glad you're still here

And I thought that I let you know (Yeah), know

**[Chorus]**

In case nobody told you today (Yeah!), you're special (Special), hey!

In case nobody made you believe (oh, oh), you're special, yeah

Well, I will always love you (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

So glad, so glad, so glad (Broken, but damn, you're still perfect)

**[Outro]**

(Special)

You are, you are, you are so

Special

Mm-mm, ho

Hey
