[Intro/Chorus:]

They've been trying to put me down man. But I am only doing as good as I can

[Verse 1:]

Sitting in my room, ain't seen a face for days

Been staring at the wall all I see is grey

At least I got my notepad to comfort me

Everyone's gone, or they're saying they're busy

My closest friends live surprisingly close

But who knows…

What if they don't wanna hang out? (Hang out, hang out)

Nobody's really into the shit that I'm into anyways

I need to find my crowd. Been looking for days

Months and years now. I guess I'll need to move

Outta town, or flee the country

United States, here I come, I'm leaving my country

(I'm leaving my country)

[Chorus:]

Cause they've been trying to put me down man. But I am only doing as good as I can. They've been trying to put me down man. I'm just looking for some damn respect

When will it come?

[Verse 2:]

Every day working hard, giving it all I can. Looking at me people see boy

They don't see the man that I've been trying to be every moment since the hospital

Try to do everything myself, yet people still belittle, cause they just wanna see how much I can take. How long till I flee. How long till I break. They don't want me to fight back

But I don't give a shit about that when I come to bite back! (Bite back, bite back)

[Bridge:]

They don't really want me to succeed. They just wanna feed off of me. They don't really want me to succeed. They just wanna feed off of me

[Chorus:]

They've been trying to put me down man. But I am only doing as good as I can. They've been trying to put me down man. I'm just looking for some damn respect

When will it come?

They've been trying to put me down man. But I am only doing as good as I can. They've been trying to put me down man. I'm just looking for some damn respect

When will it come...
