[Verse]

Alone in a crowded room, at times, I feel out of place

And then I just run away back to my hideaway

I never did fit in, I never tried to

No, I don't aspire to be anything like you

We ain't cut the same and we don't move the same

I been who I am since before niggas knew my name

Still gettin' used to fame, still don't enjoy it, though

Still not acceptin' no invite to no award show

'Cause I can't fake it for y'all, I can't fake it at all

I'm this close to droppin' one more tape and then takin' off

Superman gotta be stressed as fuck when that cape come off

Save the day every day and still don't get to take a day off

Alone in a crowded room, invasion of private space

I've given this all I have, I need some time away

I need some time to think, shit, I wouldn't mind a break

I live in a stopwatch, so I got no time to waste

I can't please you motherfuckers, be foolish of me to try

I get what's on my mind, if you don't like it, that's fine

No really, I don't mind if I ain't your cup of tea

The truth is mighty bitter, I get it, you like it sweet

And I ain't sugarcoatin' shit, it just doesn't sit right with me

I feel like a referee, I call it just how I see

Even if you see it different, the way I see it's official

And ain't no do-overs after the whistle

You get it, I hope you do, I hope you put it to use

I broke the golden rule in this business, I spoke the truth

And I never regretted it or spent a second second guessin' it

You can't be hesitant 'cause chasin' presidents is precedent

Nigga say it ain't, he lyin', 'cause I swear to death it is

In this life, ain't nothin' comin' back around except your bills

And you probably wanna submit to all your problems

You got one day to feel sorry, after that, let's get it poppin'

No excuses

My mind is a crowded room, I always feel out of place

I always feel out of touch, I always feel out the way

That's why I'm out the way, 'cause home is my hideaway

I let 'em peek inside and they invaded my private space

I've given you all I had, I need some time away

I need some time to breathe, shit, I wouldn't mind a break

Given 'em all I have, I need some time away

I need some time to breathe, I need a—


[Outro]

Long live Pif

Yeah
