Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Gonna plant the trees in my mind
'Til they grow through the floor
And the roots will swell so thick
That they splinter the boards

[Pre-Chorus]
I was in the ground with the bad seed
But I'm not gonna let it rub off on me
I'm not gonna obey my prophecy (Oh-whoa-oh-whoa)
I'm looking at my past through hosiery
Why not consecrate my identity?
There's no guardian angel over me (Oh-whoa)

[Chorus]
I'm a thief and I'm not tryna hide
'Cause this is hunting season, I'm not gonna have more reason
I'm a thief and my virtue is my vice
'Cause this is hunting season, I'm not gonna have more reason
I will proudly stand accused, I got everything to lose
I'm not looking for a fight
I'm a thief and I'm taking what is mine

[Verse 2]
Gonna stretch these bones in my limbs
'Til they find a way out
Gonna be that girl in the mirror
That wasn't allowed

[Pre-Chorus]
I was in the ground with the bad seed
But I'm not gonna let it rub off on me
I'm not gonna obey my prophecy (Oh-whoa-oh-whoa)
I'm looking at my past through hosiery
Why not consecrate my identity?
There's no guardian angel over me (Oh-whoa)

[Chorus]
I'm a thief and I'm not tryna hide
'Cause this is hunting season, I'm not gonna have more reason
I'm a thief and my virtue is my vice
'Cause this is hunting season, I'm not gonna have more reason
I will proudly stand accused, I got everything to lose
I'm not looking for a fight
I'm a thief and I'm taking what is mine

[Bridge]
Crawling up a mountain and the dirt is in my nails
Shedding in the forest and I'm clearing my trails
Waiting makes you foreign to a yellow stained soul
This is what my choice is when the writing's on my wall

[Chorus]
I'm a thief and I'm not tryna hide
'Cause this is hunting season, I'm not gonna have more reason
I'm a thief and my virtue is my vice
'Cause this is hunting season, I'm not gonna have more reason
I will proudly stand accused, I got everything to lose
I'm not looking for a fight
I'm a thief and I'm taking what is mine
