lyrics

look me up and down based on image they gonna profile
try to change it up wanna rearrange my whole style
telling me its better if Im shopping out in so cal
dress me in designer full of names I couldn’t pronounce
nothing is organic, shit, you cant put your phone down
following a trend tracing over what they mold out
I aint getting fed if im speaking with a closed mouth
letting out opinions I no longer fear and wrote proud
all I have is me, thats the lesson that learned quick
all my closest friends only left me with a burnt bridge
every girl I loved had me feeling I aint worth shit
carrying these memories ill bury in my hurse with
thinking this is punishment and maybe I deserve this
hanging off a cliff but surviving with a firm grip
only by believing I can make it as a wordsmith
know I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have a purpose

why, why, do they all lie,lie
when I had gave my word it stood for something now I know your good for nothing
why, why, I dont have time, time
you thought without you that I couldn’t function now I know your good for nothing

rather have you tell me to my face you never fucked with me
lay it on the table if we eating you were unwilling
used to wanna build a buzz with me, now your buzz killing
easier to see its in your genes and its unfitting
my blood spilling I give you chances to stitch it up
and you were missing I witnessed early and will adjust
but once removing all your expectations
and dont rely on anybody you feel ventilation
keep cutting out the people with no renovation
they aint helping you build they just a drunk acquaintance
its a suckers making, or how their mother raised them
only down for breaking bread if I get underpayment
putting money over loyalties an understatement
they’ll be waiting at home while you run the bases
and my circle getting smaller every day that passes
then its turning into apathy like chain reactions
they aint wishing you success, if you may surpass them
go from giving you the drive to wish you’d play in traffic
but the headache hasnt lasted past a baby aspirin
im the optimum main attraction no cable package
