When someone tells you who they are, you'd better believe em When someone tells you who they are, you better believe em When someone tells you you're worthless, don't try to deceive them Just say if that's how you're feeling then I'm fucking leaving Your armor makes you weaker You go out looking for a battle and I bet you've always found it Cause now I know the secret The only power you have's when the wall's already down But I bought the illusion, got lost in confusion I'd pocket my two cents, and all just to prove that I knew how to suffer well Disregarded the clues that were obvious to Anybody who ever met you I'd argue dispute any charges they drew Oh my god this is stupid cause I don't wanna suffer well And fuck you for asking I've never been perfect but I've been happy But I guess your crown of thorns is still a crown, huh? Any way to make sure that you're always looking down huh? With a head so full of shit-you can hardly hear a sound huh? You ain't Atlas bitch, you're Narcissus - fuck yourself and drown Cause it won't be long before we all know what you know And the world takes a match to its leech But there's hardly a move When the wrongs that you do Put up walls to the truth So appalled at the news That the scars and abuse You wrote off as good news Were just heartless and crude Just a coffin, a tomb From this god misconstrued That sounds awfully like you The J. Cochrane of pews Who was liable to use Any lies and pursuit Just to hide and excuse All the nonsense that's spewed All designed to reduce Beating hearts to mere fumes No more fire or fuel No more spark in the gloom Just a darkness that looms I could honestly puke at the thought of you Screw you from all of us who have been caught in your noose, fuck It all feels like a flashback But this pen's emotional hazmat That'll take more shots than a lab rat Til it's not just after the fall that we understand that When someone tells you who they are, you'd better believe em When someone tells you who they are, you better believe em When someone tells you you're worthless, don't try to deceive them Just say if that's how you're feeling then I'm fucking leaving Mama told me not to worry about the sparkle in your eyes Keep my hands out of your pockets and my tongue away from lies So I kissed you on the first date When I probably should've tried To recognize that you were flying flags I could never abide Still you fly em, got me hanging out here sideways With my tinted rosy shades What do you say to all the silence We're too safe to coincide Too dangerous, too arrogant Too much like bourbon over ice Let me inside, I'll keep you warm I'll light your fire, I frighten easily I think that's why I rushed to say I love you Cause you came on strong and then cooled off Scared me, you called me special Call me perfect, told me everything that I've ever done was worth it You're the only certain circus Cut the act I think I've heard it Shit you hurt me, why'd you grab me quite so roughly Let go, I love you baby Don't run out the door abruptly Slam the damn thing, never slam the doors I hear my mother speaking If you're angry when she hurts you Change the tone with which you're pleading Don't be needy, don't have needs Don't ask for things You spent the week's allotted cash on cigarettes instead of dreams You're such a fucking piece of trash Now how are we supposed to last She never really wants an answer Just some noises while she packs I guess I told her that was that and Then I found someone else to ask But I won't come back, no I won't be back No, I won't come back, You gotta see that I gotta get right, keep my chin up high Turn the left cheek when you slap my right Clench my teeth but you won't see me cry Release all the anger that I kept inside You'll always cast shadows when you're in the light Trying to keep my head straight late at night and I don't believe the things that you believe about me No, I don't wanna die Still, it's a grind, left foot right foot Til I get to where I'm going Never knowing where I'm headed Pushed by winds wherever blowing Time keeps pushing on One second per second later, accelerator Forward progress is still progress; If you meet a girl you don't have to date her Still, I bet I'll find me a woman who doesn't hate my stinking guts A person who can express their love Without anybody getting slugged A person who might chase me down the road In the winter when the air is getting cold To make sure I've got my winter coat If I'm ugly hurting they'll pull me close Maybe they'll bring coffee to my desk or Write me notes or tell me yes They'd love to meet my folks and friends We're more than friends, I almost know But I don't need your new edition I add up to something great Any person who can count their stars Can always change their fate And I don't say shit just to say it I'm not praying, I'm not basic This ain't a cry for help, I'm patient I won't let myself get complacent I don't need your definition, hopes and dreams, or conversation I could give a damn about you, if anything it's motivation I'm gon make it out of this neighborhood The whole damn world can hear me say it I'm cool AF Go fuck yourself If you have any questions, just replay this

We've been growing older And we've got nothing to show for it But when it's getting darker You gotta shine that much brighter We've been growing older and We've got nothing to show for it But when it's getting darker You gotta shine that much brighter Dreaming my whole life away I'm living in a quiet place Praying for some better days With better men like Eddie Vedder says Runnin' with the wolves, I'm in a Shia phase Working by the fireplace With sacrificial smoke surrounding my entire face I'm looking for a higher way I'm looking to retire while I'm young enough to buy up an entire plane I'm looking for Empire plays I remember seeing brighter days once when I was five or eight Before the thought of shame Or poorly timed displays of grace ever became commonplace Before I knew how to erase Before I ever knew my name But me, I'm tired of stressing Sip a hot drink on a cold day Send a message to the heavens Roll in paradise like Coldplay Got enough, please no more lessons Keep me young like adolescence Beat the shit out my depression And keep it coming with the blessings, no P.S.'s We've been growing older and We've got nothing to show for it But when it's getting darker You gotta shine that much brighter We've been growing older and We've got nothing to show for it But when it's getting darker You gotta shine that much brighter Yeah I know tomorrow wasn't promised but then came that Obama shit And I decided to temp as an optimist But all that's just some more of that working on a contract shit God, I miss, the ignorance of bliss, a bitter sentiment But can I get a witness in this bitch? A middle finger from the "fuck this" generation given nothin' to sustain us In this fucked up iteration of the American dream I'm checking for some updates or a cheat code at the least bro Ripped the blindfold off Lady Justice, tried to wake her from her slumber She dropped a couple Ambien and went back under I wrote a letter to Santa, grabbed a map to Candy Mountain Sacrificed some cattle, snatched a rabbit foot amulet, patted a magic lamp Blacked out and crashed before my wish was granted Then I had a half a gram of the magic and poof... It's hard to be uplifting when I'm downgrading Make the right choice when I'm left hanging But If power corrupts I'm a fucking angel with a black heart Cause I'm taking my power back, flippin' it like an hourglass I'm done living rich I'm buying cash I'm talkin' bout making a diamond out of grass We've been growing older and We've got nothing to show for it But when it's getting darker You gotta shine that much brighter We've been growing older and We've got nothing to show for it But when it's getting darker You gotta shine that much brighter

Looking like a whole snack Sitting by myself casting side eyes at Shake Shack Might buy a grey cat Why'd I just say that The whole world is one girl and she got a great rack This is a great rap These hooks is easy Catch me in the deep and These people on the streets wanna be me Buddy, easy peasy with the fees when you're manifesting dreams I ain't all about the green til it's breezy Spent so long trying to get all my thoughts out in this song Guess I'd rather overshare than be alone It's like six months on and we talk over the phone But in my head I hear how serious I sound, internally furious The clouds around my eyeline make it hazy when I focus on the skyline Too many people asking me for my time, I lied and Said I'm busy, I'm not that busy Said I have no change but I'm full of change within me Told to pick a lane, but this a ocean that we swim in Shine too bright, you end fighting bigger fishes Mind your business Ain't no supply and demand for limelights or mic stands I might stand on stage beaming bright for y'all to witness The right plans laid true with consistent commitment Left foot, right foot until you make it to the finish Self respect and self care is the ticket You only write a better verse when someone shits on what you've written I wanna be clever I wanna see my name live on forever Instead I'm in the fishbowl watching the neon letters of a sign Across the street, is that a cross or just a T Avert my eyes when I realized I'm only watching people eat Like dinner and a show, surely they know I'm not a geek I'm just lost in thoughts you'd thought were just skin deep I need some sleep I nearly gasp myself awake Still with a shake straw in my teeth Disassociated but complete Wait, lemme catch that beat Looking like a whole snack Sitting by myself casting side eyes at Shake Shack Might buy a grey cat Why'd I just say that The whole world is one girl and she got a great rack This is a great rap These hooks is easy Catch me in the deep and These people on the streets wanna be me Buddy, easy peasy with the fees when you're manifesting dreams I ain't all about the green til it's breezy Looking like a whole snack Sitting by myself casting side eyes at Shake Shack Might buy a grey cat Why'd I just say that The whole world is one girl and she got a great rack This is a great rap These hooks is easy Catch me in the deep and These people on the streets wanna be me Buddy, easy peasy with the fees when you're manifesting dreams I ain't all about the green til it's breezy Dark liquor and darker thoughts Still can't stomach the normal crap Without losing my shit like a dozen divorcing dads Leave flat footed cats gasping "what in the world was that?" Fuck it the blerd is back I was just a lil corny cat So cute she'd ask me out, then I'd fumble a certain pass Voice cracked, always the one with the nervous laugh Now that's further behind me than suffering succotash Still heart on my sleeve, just cuff em and roll em back High on my own thoughts, puff puff and ignore the pass Just jugglin' words for cash In love with the work and craft Kim and Kanye in one line, such an important ass Fuck it reverse it back That doesn't deserve a laugh Just being a dork, hm, what's another word for that If you aint droppin' lines that make them wanna reverse the track You musta missed your call like a stuttering quarterback Take my time, let em crumble under the fact You aint running circles round me You're stuck in my orbit, Jack Lotta copies out there, must be studying Orphan Black Mumbling words to pack Another unworthy track Struggling to forge the math Just so someone will twerk their ass Meanwhile there's a loose string on my soul that I'm tuggin at Fuck if the score is hacked I'm leavin' this summer with more than stacks The epitome of a before and aft I'm speaking feet up on a foreign craft Looking like a whole snack Sitting by myself casting side eyes at Shake Shack Might buy a grey cat Why'd I just say that The whole world is one girl and she got a great rack This is a great rap These hooks is easy Catch me in the deep and These people on the streets wanna be me Buddy, easy peasy with the fees when you're manifesting dreams I ain't all about the green til it's breezy

Conversations by myself in the dark are less hard Figured what is the harm If I lay out my thoughts and glue them up like wallpaper Can always tear them if I change my mind later I don't stick around to find out Empty of thoughts like pillowtalk Lay me down to sleep I count sheep But even lost of track of that Disorganized rattle in my brain Can you hold me down? My heart races when we kiss I'd trade places with the rain if it's misting Just to catch you in it Soak like tattoos into your skin, A flat image of the last two minutes You look angelic when the shadows from the streetlamps splash your visage I love the secret little giggle when you finish Deep sighs when you're past your limits Put your thighs in my lap so I can press away the stress of the day I wanna drown in the sounds that you make when you say (I love you) I figure that it's harder to say, but I'm just me at the end of the day Is that okay? (I'm not going to) Find another treasure to take, or steal away in a daring escape before I say (I love you) It's fear that makes it harder to stay The same fear that keeps the others away (I'm going to) Make myself worthy to save (I'm going to) Make myself (I love you) (I'm not going to) (I love you) (I'm going to) (I'm going to) Maybe it was a past life A radio pumping Gladys knight Had our share of ups and downs But this is crazy enough to last, right? Like dang, let's adjust our plans Find two rings and the guts to ask Now I got you nodding yes Like the band was playing in fucking half time And the more things change the more they stay the same I love you like water, take it for granted until I need the rain Pray it won't be my fate to dehydrate, But I can be like Jay Put a ring on it but still frontin, Bey Stuck in the fast lane, can't get right Throw my hands up like midnight Not givin' up, but the finish line's on the other side Of this trench I've dug to keep this coward from the surface I'm sure my heart will soften between now and rigor mortis I got a thousand different worries Funny how this feels so certain You've been down since I was worthless 'Till we're drippin' like shower curtains Man how could I deserve it to be drowning in your current? The analogy's imperfect, but somehow I still get nervous Just to say (I love you) If all we ever have is today, I think tomorrow's the best time to complain So I'll just say (I'm not going to) Find any more excuses to make because Growing's accepting, knowing, and letting it fade away (I love you) It's pride that makes it harder to say The same pride that won your heart that day (I'm going to) Prove myself whatever it takes (I'm going to) Whatever it takes (I love you) (I'm not going to) (I love you) (I'm going to) (I'm going to)

Ayy, how do we spend our day? It's so dark outside baby girl it'll be okay It's just rain, it comes in waves Grey Saturday Grey Saturday It's kinda hard when you won't call your friends Working like a dog trying to break through the fence And still making amends No steps but got more than 12 sins Lose my head around a circle of fifths It's intense in my camp, superiority trip Trying to bring up a youngin' like "fuck authority, kid" No fighting cause I'm peaceful No piece, not even Jesus at the head of my bed No sleep cause police keep killing all of my friends Damn Call me if you're ready to spend The next 6 or 7 hours of the morning in bed Laying sideways so our heads falling off of the end The world spins while it burns so breathe out and breathe in We'll pretend we're in the palace where the power is kept And in our courts, we'll grow the flowers where eternity slept Maybe baby we can model what equality says A couple functioning adults having quality sex So I've been keepin' a journal right, from day to day Recently I just copy and paste, change the date Paper clip on a smile, more like a half-smirk Kinda guy that'd rather have the last laugh than the last word I used to love myself, it comes and goes these days No more honeymoon phase, I just infatuate But in fact, I hate, scratch that, backspace, all caps What the FUCK is happening out here? He said feeling righteous from his keyboard, then reword Add a "t" to that last word, cause if he were to be fair He prefers microphones to megaphones Only in studios can you use bars to protect your own (Bullshit) But honestly, Malcolm and Martin be haunting me I can't sleep watching these fathers bleed on the streets Hollering "I can't breathe!" while I speak cautiously "All police?" "Nah just these" fuck are we doin'? Just zombies with better posture and Opposable oppositional thumbs Who can watch a citizen gunned down or choked out and Go "Now what did he do?" Find enough of the truth Call it justice, and whew! Back to our bubbles, we're safe now The class war can stay hidden underground Trade an elephant for an ass like it matters If you're poor in America wisen up or pucker up, fuck Sorry just being honest but I still believe in change just not what Obama promised us Ayy, how do we spend our day? It's so dark outside baby girl it'll be okay Its just rain, it comes in waves Grey Saturday Grey Saturday Ayy, how do we spend our day? It's so dark outside baby girl it'll be okay Its just rain, it comes in waves Grey Saturday Grey Saturday
