[Verse 1]

I took a break for way too long, was almost done with rap

I took some time to find myself, I'm healing from my past

I got issues, I got problems, but I'm still intact

But I got something on my chest, so, now I'm coming back

My last album got some hate, they weren't in love with that

I put my soul into that project, gave it all I had

And now they're saying that I suck and my career won't last

I know they're chomping at the bits to call this new one, "Trash"

That's alright, that's just the world that we live in now

Hate watching for amusement, so, yeah, go ahead, gather 'round

At my lowest, ain't laughing now, used to love, they attacking now

Don't get who they impacting now, everyday thеy harassing now

I might relapse, pick the pills up, put a bеat on, start spazzing out

Turning me to be rabid, I'm getting rabid, combative now

Yeah, like anything I do, they'll hate it, don't even matter

Feels like it's me against the world

Jump out the plane, yeah, I'm crashing out

This my passion, I'm only falling off, right into madness

Yeah, I was gone, but I'm done being passive

Spit like a gun with illegal attachments, I'm done

No more trying for the ones that don't like me

Done with the industry, they couldn't buy me

Now I'm just doing what I wanna do and I still stay climbing

And all my real fans, they know what's up and I'm still here, so focused up

Still cooking tracks 'til they're overdone, kill everybody opposing us

Still in the lab, there's no closing up and I don't stop 'til it's dope enough

Like four years, I been sobered up and I'm locked in and I'm loaded up


[Bridge]

I feel like I'm running outta patience (Patience)

People talking down and I won't take it (Take it)

I got something special, I won't waste it (Waste it)

I just don't compare to what they're saying (Saying)

'Cause I know who I am and I know who I'm not

They say that I can't, but I know what I got

Guess I'll do this all again, no matter what the cost

Throw my middle fingers up every time I drop


[Verse 2]

It's probably my own doing letting this get to me

But push, push, push, came to shove, so, now that's history

It's one thing if you just don't feel what I been dropping

This don't apply to you, I'm talking 'bout borderline stalking

They spreading lies, they spreading rumors, man, I just don't see the humor

Always growing like a tumor, got my mental in the sewer

While they hide behind computers, they critique all my maneuvers

They don't realize who I'm dating needs consent from all my viewers

I'm not that type of rapper they don't understand

Like I don't walk around and do things just because I can

I don't put my life online to try to get more fans

Being famous just ain't something that is in my plans

So, let me get right back to business, I'm an artist

I don't fit in with celebrities or gossip or what's trending

This my passion, this my focus, this my Magnum, this my Opus

This the point where I turn my middle finger to everyone in showbiz

Everybody talk too much, all those gimmicks are not enough

I feel like they might the way when I show up

You know that I'm killing whatever I touch

Back-to-back, but it ain't no rush, I'll drop a classic, don't call my bluff

I'm proving 'em wrong and I'm loving the rush

I can't believe they all bought that junk

They talk too much, they stalk too much

No life, so, they pry on mine, they all parasocial, it's crazy

Attack the people who like my songs and paint them out like they glazing

Y'all grow up and grew out the music, but y'all still somehow try to blame me

They pissed about it, so, attack me, but they the ones who one-eighty'd


[Outro]

But this is my return, I just don't care anymore

I got some brand-new trauma weighing on me, shaking my core

Now all that negativity is at the bottom of my list

Of things that hurt me everyday, that make it hard for me to live

So, sit and back and welcome to the show, if you love me if, you hate me

I don't care, man, I'm afloat, I just gotta get this outta me

It's weighing on my soul and if I vent about my pain

Then maybe someone else will see they're not alone (Alone)
