Lyrics
Verse 1:
Used to croon in the kitchen, made my way to the stage
Don't need a man who'll only stand in my way
Says, "You could rise or fall, so don't stand so tall"
I said, "You're fine for now, I'm just rampin' up"
Verse 2:
He made a dollar and wanted me to make a babe
My wild heart could not be kept in a cage
Grabbed my keys and coat
And I hit the road
I ain't sure where to go
I'm just rampin' up
Chorus: You need to lighten up (you need to light-, boy you need to lighten up)
I ain't finished with you yet,
I'm just rampin' up
Might wanna buckle up (might wanna buckle, boy you need to buckle up)
Cuz this ride gets rough and boy it's rampin' up
It's rampin' up
Verse 3:
Years in Chicago, stuck on that beginner phase
Can't figure how to get out of my own way
If I can't sing perfectly
I won't sing at all
But now my confidence
Is just rampin' up
Chorus
Bridge: And my friends back home askin', "Girl, are you famous yet?"
I can't start on top
Give me a minute x3
Chorus
Cuz this ride gets rough and boy it's rampin' up
It's rampin' up
