[Verse 1]

I'm sittin' and listenin' to the thoughts in my head

And I'm pickin' a livin', but now it's gone and it fled

Makin' songs, but instead, feelin' off of the thread

I'm forgettin' 'bout gettin' my mind lost in my bed

And I'm off the top of my head

Thinkin' so many things that I'd forgotten I'd said

Rememberin' all of the better things

That I had wanted, but lost in the palm of regret

And I'm calm, but upset

Lookin' out the window, seein' a life gone past me

Feelin' so off of it, lookin' so confident

When I hear the drop of a rap beat

Tryin' to make it to the top as an athlete

But it all comes to a stop when they ask me

"Are you okay?" Yeah

I just really don't know what to say when it has me

And life is a story of tragedy

'Cause what is a war without casualties?

And what is the core of reality?

So many questions, what more than they're askin' me?

And what do I say in response?

Just another day in my thoughts

We got a whole world, but we stay in a box

Go pay your dues, don't be afraid of the cost

Yeah


[Chorus]

Lookin' out the window, seein' a life gone past me

I got everything to make me happy

And I'm starin' at the mirror, and I'll take it in right now

Because the world is so much clearer to me

And I can feel your energy

From millions of miles away

And I'm sittin' in my room

And I'm just lookin' for somethin' to say


[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And I've been sittin' in my room, I've been sittin' in my room

I'm just lookin' for somethin' to say


[Verse 2]

I'm tryna find somethin' to do with my life

I look at you, and I'm like "Damn"

I am ahead of my game

Do what I can to go get with the fame

And I'm still in the process

Feelin' I'm killin' it, really, I'm still makin' progress

In fact, I'm beginnin'

I'm spittin' my lyrics to get recognition and comments

Uh

Sometimes, it requires a lack of sleep

Researchin' for the track or beat

I just keep workin' when it matters least

And when it matters most, I gotta have the growth

I gotta go all out when I rap to show off

I gotta prove myself

Wanna inspire people? Gotta move yourself

Pursue the wealth

I'm gonna do this shit, and I'ma do it well

I've been through a hell, and now I'm movin' on

Got so many things to improve upon

I'm just tryin' to do what I can

I really don't care if I'm losin' a fan, I'm just usin' my plan

I'm pursuin' the glam, I'm removin' the spam

I really hope that you understand

Uh


[Chorus]

Lookin' out the window, seein' a life gone past me

I got everything to make me happy

And I'm starin' at the mirror, and I'll take it in right now

Because the world is so much clearer to me

And I can feel your energy

From millions of miles away

And I'm sittin' in my room

And I'm just lookin' for somethin' to say


[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And I've been sittin' in my room, I've been sittin' in my room

I'm just lookin' for somethin' to say
