[Verse 1: JOHO]

Mid existential crisis

Flushing out all my vices

The world seems smaller when you know what the meaning of life is

Know what the meaning of love is and willing to pay the prices

Got work in just a few hours but at 3 AM I write this

Insecurity beckons as self consciousness swells

Go joke about it on twitter, haha I just took some L’s

Laugh with them so it don’t hurt, you’re in on it so it seems

And maybe just maybe they might turn laughter into esteem

Oh now you’re the funny guy

Make us chuckle giggle and smile

Wear your flaws on your sleeve

It could all be part of your style

Attack yourself before they can like B rabbit in 8 mile

You’re clever one thing that you have going for you is your guile

But what does it really solve all you feel is mental distress

Emotional unrest but you tell people that you’re blessed

So that makes it all ok, or so I guess


[Verse 2: JOHO]

My decision making is flawed

Mental state simply wavers

But hate letting people down

And I say yes to every favor

Defend people I love by sacrificing my image

Boisterous and outspoken, but sensitive and timid

I don’t believe in limits

I get labeled as cocky

“You think you can do anything”

Who the fuck is gonna stop me

“No one cares about your football

No one wants to hear you sing

When it comes to you, don’t want to see or hear a fucking thing

You’re doing this all for clout, my god you love attention

You’re doing this to be mentioned

The focal point of a sentence

You want people to notice you

You’re extra as fuck

Stop talking about yourself

For once please shut the fuck up

Be normal, everybody else gets it, sit down

You’re a fucking clown, we don’t want you around

Somebody needs to humble you and put you into your place

You think you’re really great but really you’re a fucking disgrace

And now that we told you this, don’t go act like you’re in your feelings

All sad and pouty and mad and frowny

Get from around me

Don’t post your sad songs, or tweet your weird mysterious lyrics

We’re enjoying life, your bullshit, boy we don’t wanna fear it

So post your thumbs down pics with your irresponsible friends

And forgive whoever fucked you over, you always make amends, and if you got something to say, fucking say it with your chest

Stop acting all depressed boy you’re blessed, and that makes it all ok or so I guess


[Verse 3: JOHO]

I come from a city with generations of struggle

Everybody got a hustle

With savvy or with their muscle

Boys be idolizing future, but ridiculed if they Russell’s

Type of shit that lead to conflict and getting into these scuffles

Everybody toting pieces like they tryna finish puzzles

And they love to run their mouth, seems we got a shortage on muzzles

And if somebody say something, there’s certainly a rebuttal

To us this image is everything, by no means is it subtle

How long til I gotta say bye to people that I cherish?

How long will I remain alive? At what point will I perish?

How long til I meet my maker and Gabriel blows his horn?

How long til I have to pay for all the people that I’ve scorned?

How long til the lord decides we’ll meet our end?

All loved ones that I’ve lost before man will we meet again?

We know for certain that it happens if you like it or not

My only question is how long do we got?


[Verse 4: JOHO]

The Older I get, the better I used to be

Before the mental distress, started abusing me

This isn’t my cry for help, or a note saying goodbye

It’s me looking to sky, screaming and wondering why

All this shit in head, made me wish i was dead

Every night I would dread, all my armor was shed

But now I’m stronger than ever, over the mountain I climbed

I been reclaiming my happiness, been reclaiming my mind

I been reclaiming my smile, and been reclaiming my heart

I been reclaiming relationships, been reclaiming my spark

I been reclaiming my voice, I been reclaiming my sound

I been reclaiming my ground, I’m not fucking around

I’m not fucking around, No longer fucking around

I’m not fucking around, No longer fucking around

I’m not fucking around, No longer fucking around

No longer fucking around, Imma be just fine
