[Verse One: MikelWJ]

I'm not your fucking counselor, I mean I care

But don't get pissed off if I can't always just be there

I have my own life, my own problems, my own addictions

And when I'm not writing these songs, I deal with friction

I always try to listen, but sometimes I've had enough

And if you won't return the favor, well I guess thats rough

Because nowadays people expect me to be a role model

But I'm a teenager, is it that hard to follow?

I still don't even have a fucking college degree

And yet all of these little kids throw their problems at me

And their parents point fingers since the kids depressed

Because they sent a letter out a week ago to my address

And since I didn't reply, they seem to think I'm a fake

When I put all of my time into the music that I make

And if that isn't enough, no one will pick up the phone

I've been crying out for help but I still sit here all alone

Like…


[Chorus: MikelWJ]

These monsters in my head (In my head)

Are the same ones that leave my brethren dead

These monsters in my head. (In my head)

Are the same ones that leave my brethren dead


[Verse Two: MikelWJ]

The stress hits, and it's always a fucking bitch

I'll be feeling great when I suddenly make a switch

My mood goes south and my mind starts rushing

You can tell I'm pissed by the times that I'm cussing

My counselor says that I need to block all of the pain

But he never understands that's the reason that I came

I've hit rock bottom, I'm about to fall through

Raps role model, you're lucky it isn't you

I talk about whats real and get criticized for depression

They hand me all their pills and another therapy session

Suicide watch leaves these people giving strange stares

I'm not a fucking monster, what are you're eyes doing here

I feel emotions that no one in this room can explain

So how in God's name do I talk about all the pain?

And if that isn't enough, no one will pick up the phone

I've been crying out for help but I still sit here all alone

Like…


[Chorus: MikelWJ]


[Verse Three: MikelWJ]

My best friend wants to kill herself, that's all I have to say

I see her mental state degrading each and every single day

There's not a word that I can say to ever make her understand

I made a promise to myself that I won't watch her life end

I kissed her wrists and told that I'll always hold her close

But then I turn around and swallow a bottle to overdose

Feeling so comatose, it's the only way I'll get by

And ignore all the thoughts that are screaming at me to die

I disappoint my parents since I have no other real skills

And musics not a definite way that I'll pay my bills

But it's all that I can do since I never did well in school

So I'll continue disappointing until they tell me we're cool

Like…


[Chorus: MikelWJ]
