[Intro]

Yeah, yeah

I can hate myself just fine without your help

And you acting like you don't just doesn't help

I should be used to this, I ain't never known nothin' else

And I can hate myself just fine without your help

Man, yeah

[Verse]

Why do crowds feel like the loneliest place

I'm by myself with you right hear in my face, yeah

I wear a mask so I don't draw no attention

You actin' friendly, I can still feel the tension

It all lead back to my family

All lead back to the house

Don't no one understand me

Y'all be cool with me out

Sometimes I'm just entertainment, or there for you to take it out

But the moment you done laughing you'll be down to kick me out

[Pre-Chorus]

Call it M-C-S, or whatever you want

Blame it on IG, it's my generation

But if you took all the medals and rounded us up

There wasn't a bunch, will I feel like I belong?

I won't do nothing wrong, I won't ever belong

Did I do something wrong (Yeah), will I finally belong?

I can't make no mistakes, you can't do nothing wrong

You can not mess it up (Yeah, yeah), you won't ever belong

[Chorus]

And I been picking up the pieces, I know why they wouldn't choose me

Left me stranded in the middle, I been tryna loose me

Tell me, why my past is always fighting with the new me?

Tell me, why my past is always fighting with the new me?

Picking up the pieces, I know why they wouldn't choose me

Left me stranded in the middle, I been tryna loose me

I been tryna loose me

Tell me, why my past is always fighting with the new me?

Tell me, why my past is always fighting with the new me?

[Outro]

I been trying not to hate myself

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I been trying not to hate myself

Yeah, yeah

Because they taught me to just hate myself, yeah

The world only taught me how to hate myself, yeah

I been trying not to hate myself, yeah
