[Intro]

You’re the man

I know

Show them what the fuck you’re made of

I’m trying to

Don’t talk to them

What should I do

They’re not going to listen to you

I know but

Work harder you lazy piece of shit

[Chorus]

Drowning in these expectations

That’s why I started getting faded

I don’t know if I’ll ever make it

Why do I always get complacent

I can’t let everyone down

So I’ve been hiding my frown

And trying to be around

But I just wanna go hide away

Start up the fireplace

Burn up my past life

I’m throwing it all away

[Verse 1]

I put these walls up long ago

I hope one day they Berlin

I’m getting drunk at Oktoberfest

And I don’t even speak German

I-95 is my autobahn

No speed limit and I’m swerving

Stay up all night just to write these rhymes

My room got blackout curtains

Like

Why can’t I sleep til the clock hits 5

Maybe I’m scared to move on with my life

Working at 9, rather not be alive

But I ain’t done enough yet to die

Woah

I’m hella high gotta drive slow

I put visine in my eyes

Smoke

Floating its way to the sky

My mama ask why, I know it’s cause I’m

[Chorus]

Drowning in these expectations

That’s why I started getting faded

I don’t know if I’ll ever make it

Why do I always get complacent

I can’t let everyone down

So I’ve been hiding my frown

And trying to be around

But I just wanna go hide away

Start up the fireplace

Burn up my past life

I’m throwing it all away

[Verse 2]

Yeah, It’s 3AM and I’m making beats

My neighbor probably hates me

But I gotta do what I gots to do

Can’t let this shit just be a daydream

Most of y’all want Patek Philipes

I just wanna bring the fam safety

Build me a strong fanbase

I don’t give a fuck about the mainstream

But

When you find me, please don’t gatekeep

Nah that shit ain’t cool

Just like JaVale, you be shaq-tin-a-fool

I get unhinged, why I’m keeping a tool

I wasn’t one to be present in school

I don’t take kindly to following rules

Dodging the Jakes while I’m blasting my tunes

Ducking the snakes, and the vultures, and ghouls

[Chorus]

Drowning in these expectations

That’s why I started getting faded

I don’t know if I’ll ever make it

Why do I always get complacent

I can’t let everyone down

So I’ve been hiding my frown

And trying to be around

But I just wanna go hide away

Start up the fireplace

Burn up my past life

I’m throwing it all away
