The Realest
Issues Lyrics

Another waste of headspace
Another person who takes up valuable space in my thoughts and in my life, without contributing anything positive or meaningful.

Got dumb on the tracks and never knew the facts 'til I wised up
I was naive and ignorant about the situation I was in, but eventually I learned the truth and became smarter.

For years I been toe to toe with the heavy weights, never thought I'd size up
I've been competing with the best for a long time, but I never imagined that I would become as successful as them.

It's got me thinking 'bout the rise up
The situation has made me consider how I can elevate myself and become more successful.

You said no strings attached and now you got me tied up
You promised me a casual relationship, but now I feel trapped and burdened by our connection.

You talking that shit, and you're blowing that smoke
You're making empty boasts and talking nonsense.

But your card got declined at the night club
Despite your bragging, you actually don't have the money to back it up.

Every single pointless conversation
Every time we talk without any real purpose or substance.

Is breaking down the walls that kept the demons out
Each pointless conversation is causing me to let my guard down and allow negative thoughts and emotions to infiltrate my mind.

I try to find the signs that might reveal the secret to what we're missing
I am searching for clues that can help me understand what we are lacking in our lives or relationship.

But maybe time is all that we need now
Perhaps all we need is time to figure things out, without forcing anything.

A blessing in disguise
Something that seems bad or unfortunate may actually turn out to be a positive thing.

Or just broke and pitiful?
Is it really a blessing in disguise, or am I just miserable and impoverished?

I don't fuck with these mind games, babe
I am not interested in playing manipulative or deceitful games with you.

But if one thing's right I saw with my own eyes
Even if everything else is unclear, I know for a fact that this one thing is true because I witnessed it myself.

I know your tricks
I am aware of your manipulative tactics and am not fooled by them.

Don't act so proud
Don't act arrogant or superior, because I see right through it.

I'm moving up while you're slowing down
While I am making progress and improving my life, you seem to be stagnant or even regressing.

I own it now
I am taking control of my life and my choices.

And you want it now
You may desire the same success or fulfillment as me, but you have not put in the same effort or dedication.

And you can put it down, hey
You may criticize or belittle my achievements, but that won't diminish my accomplishments.

You're a waste of space in my head
You only bring negativity and frustration to my thoughts, and I need to let go of you.
