Emotion that I had in the last one
The intense and raw emotion that was present in my last album.

If I fail to replicate that emotion, people will criticize me and claim that I am losing my passion and authenticity.

My biggest fear writing this record wasn't putting out trash

Playing 'How Could You Leave Us' through the speakers on my iPhone

Are they gon' call me a has-been?
If I fail to maintain the same level of emotional intensity in my music, will others label me a has-been or a faded talent?

Pain's always been the root of my music

If I let it go, won't my whole career be in ruins?
If I were to let go of this pain, would my entire music career crumble and be left in ruins?

That's when I realized this whole conversation is stupid
It is at this moment that I come to the realization that this entire internal dialogue and line of thinking is pointless and futile.

I never cared to impress people that don't even know me
