Play Dead - Intellectual

Verse 1 -

Look at what i gained

I'm proving all along i was never what claimed

In a whole nother lane to alleviate the pain

Had to play dead to stay in the spot light of fame that remained

Afraid of the change

City boy in a country town don't mix well

It was safe just to wait

Until I made a couple fans all around my state

Even in the school I started way back in 1st grade

Didn't know the moves

I was knew to music what am I supposed to do

Hated speaking up yea wasn't in the mood

Told my attitude may lead me to my doom

Possibly is true

But don't think it will stop me from you telling the truth

Sometimes to win you gotta lose

Knowledge is the key that's achieved by experience

Can't always get by just by hearing it

So I'd

Hook -

Play dead, play dead

Stuck with what i hated making way less

Creative thoughts had to watch the train wreck

A million times cleaning up the same mess

Cause I'd x2

Verse 2 -

Be making up lame excuses for why

I don't do this or do that

News flash I'm too wack

They tell you pain sells

Explains all the time I spent hating on myself

Then complain I'm not well

Painting portraits from a vision not a picture itself

With emotions not felt

Cause you can't express the pain of somebody else

When that somebody else went through pain you ain't been through

Don't understand the struggle their lives are chained to unless your chained too

Seeing isn't the same as being consumed

By self esteem, hate, doubt and life all enter loomed

So you blame it on who

Blame it on me, him, her, God, you

Like it will fix the issue when that's so not true

But you're stuck with a decision
