[Intro]
How can you say I won't belong
When you don't know where I'm from?
This music's worth my heart
I'm burning my imperfect start
How can you say I won't belong
When you don't know where I'm from?
This music's worth my heart
I'm burning my imperfect start
[Verse 1]
I feel like you like it when I write a song that's made for you (Yeah)
I'm tired of this trial meaning I can't make my way to you
Why should I stay quiet
When you make me wanna raise the roof? (Why)
Well, fine!
This is the last time your denial creates a hateful mood! (Yeah)
Losing love or waking up? Who is gonna make me stop?
I see my former sеlf in you!
You helpless fool!
You're dеsperate too! (Argh)
Taking everything I said, degrading it to selfishness!
I'm venomous with rhetoric
But do you love infections then? (Do you?)
I'm backing it all up, let me ask you:
"What's your settlement?" (Argh)
'Cause when it comes to girls
I feel like you don't have respect for them (No)
You ain't half the man I am, you're sick and I'm a gentleman (Hah)
You're being pestilent, I'm well aware I'm desolate
But you don't need me
If you did you'd hear my lessons, man (Yeah)
My rhymes are read or lent, while you're just being decadent!
You have a twisted mind that effortlessly takes a step (Yo)
And then you slip right back on the path that I made you prevent!
[Verse 2]
I'm sitting here in the silence, but all I ever said:
It quietly whispers to me
And makes me wish my past was dead
And everyone who ever suffered from my accidents:
Their voices laugh at me and yell like I'm some kind of masochist!
They'll never leave until I murder who I was before
That lethargy, an idiot, an effigy, and nothing more!
Yesterday I couldn't sleep
I'm moralizing every night!
'Cause I'm still haunted by that guy
Immortalized inside my mind
Everybody says: "Relax, you should just forget it"
But I can't run from what I did, so I will stop pretendin'
Now your time has come, so sit down
I hope you're ready
Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
[Verse 3]
You can't talk to a girl, and you're lost in a world
Where honesty hurts and possibly burns
You cautiously curse and horribly work, but thoughtless: Convert
Everything your heart ever learned into flawless words
Probably someday harmony met you, coward and friend!
You'll bow as you're bent
If you had drowned, I'd be dead!
I'll succeed in this music business
Self-esteem is a view from cliffs and
All I believe, values aren't shifting
I finally breathe in the air that I missed when
I couldn't take a leap of faith
I was too afraid that my legs would break!
My foot enchained with the fear of change
Shhhh, this is all okay
Patiently waiting and taking my pain into
Making the statements, they one day may be
Somewhat amazing, untouched but breaking
I'll stop at eighty and watch I made it
As my tears are wiped away
All those years I'd hide in vain
Now I hope they'll like my name!
Bet Hope was plain, quite out of place
Feelin' like the temperature is rising as a metaphor
So find me some competitors
You try and run, I prey for y'all
Light in darkness, predators!
I'm an artist, messenger
Therapist, and chess player
I'm elegant, a gentleman developing his relevance
Forgetting his embarrassments!
[Outro]
If you've hurt this rapper, talk!
You know of his imperfect start
How could I kill this masterpiece?
The truth is still unsaid from me
I'll pack my things, go back to sleep
Chat and see who texted me
Wake me up in silence though
It's time I won this talent show
