She gonna

I feel as small as I am , I'm not grown yet
Feeling small and acknowledging not being fully grown. Possibly a metaphor for emotional or personal growth.
I don't realize that souls can be, healed through song yet
Not recognizing the healing power of music for the soul at this point in life.
I'm told within time, they'll find reason
Being told that with time, reasons for certain experiences will become clear.
But I'm young and I only know how to keep on receiving
Being young and only understanding how to receive, possibly indicating a learning phase.
I'll remember when I don't want to, I'll feel when I won't want to
Anticipating future memories and feelings that may be difficult to handle.
I'll push away cause I've been told to, it's taught
Pushing people away as a learned behavior, possibly due to past experiences.
I'll give it all cause they'll pry it out, I won't cry cause there's no point now
Willing to give everything but avoiding tears, suggesting emotional resilience.
I wanted love but was told I'd only get so far if
Expressing a desire for love but aware of societal expectations and limitations.

I've been called a fool
Having been called a fool, possibly referring to judgments or criticisms received.
Different lips, different lips but the same bed
Highlighting different partners but a recurring pattern ("same bed").
Yeah you called the rule, long before they have been set
Recognizing and questioning societal norms before they are established.
I'll remember when I won't want to, I'll feel when I won't want to
