[Intro]

And I can’t do this by the book

They tried to bring me down but I just left them shook

I’ve gotten my respect, but I’m still overlooked

[Verse]

How can I catch a fall from grace?

I know I can’t predict the change

Why could I channel only hate?

What will I gain from my mistake?

Like everybody else I’m only tryna make the rent

And I can’t even imagine all of the money that I spent

All the moments I’m spending stuck in one place like I’m cement

[Chorus]

When my confidence had bested me

I’m what you want but you’re not what I need

Put any other organ on my sleeve

When my confidence had bested me

I’m what you want but you’re not what I need

Put any other organ on my sleeve

[Verse]

How can I catch a fall from grace?

I know I can’t predict the change

Why could I channel only hate?

What will I gain from my mistake?

And I can’t do this by the book

They tried to bring me down but I just left them shook

I’ve gotten my respect, but I’m still overlooked
