[Intro]
Hey, ho, woah, woah, woah
Hey, hey, ha, ah-ah
Yeah
[Verse]
I like to think about the aftermath
When everybody in the world walks just like this
Haha
I'd like to dedicate this to myself
When everybody in the world talks just like this
You don't have no one else
Blah, blah, blah
And when I think about you, bless your heart
With everybody on your back, tryna tell you how to act
Haha
I only think about you half the time
We get to bringin' up the past, I be runnin' out of laughs
Cry
[Outro]

That’s something I constantly feel for upcoming artists because I’ve been there, and I’m always like, ‘Damn, I know how it feels for everybody to be tossing their opinions on you and wanting you to dress how they dress, and wanting to be the one that told the guy that this day they put you in this thing, and that’s why you’re dressed like that when you’re on stage… Hey, those are my shoes you’re wearing!’ Shit like that. I know that hunger and that thirst from all sides, and I pity it, seriously – god damn, that sucks because I know it, and I’m glad that I’m out of this rat race.
Dom is trying to get over his previous partner, but still thinks about her sometimes. When they reminisce together, he laughs with her but deep down he is hurt and longs for the relationship back.
hes talikng about how he feels as if he dosnt fit in with the rest of his musical peers and how they are in a way and that he is constantly trying to catch up to them but he cant seem to
