Outta My Head
L.Man Lyrics

(Just leave me be)
Please leave me alone.

(Don't leave me be)
Please don't abandon me.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah in my head
I'm struggling with my thoughts and emotions.

Yo
Listen up.

It's hard believing you'll get through sometimes
It's tough to have faith in yourself during difficult times.

I know
I understand.

But you have to
You must persevere.

Man I've been through a lot
I've faced many challenges.

Depression took a toll on me
Depression has had a negative impact on me.

I smile the most
I try to keep a positive attitude.

I give the most
I'm a generous person.

But nobody knows how dark I be
However, I struggle with my inner demons.

Darkness made me see more clearly
I've gained insights from difficult experiences.

I'm too blinded when I'm happy
I sometimes fail to see the negative aspects of my life.

Don't see the fakeness around me
I'm sometimes naive and trust the wrong people.

And they don't see the greatness in me
Some people fail to appreciate my strengths.

I accepted that those I love
I've come to terms with the fact that people close to me may not appreciate me.

May have a bad perception of me
They may misunderstand me.

Cause I don't meet their expectations
I fail to live up to their standards.

Or that self made image of me
Or the version of myself that I project.

How many second chances
How many more chances do I need to give?

Do I need to give to finally get it
Before people start to understand me?

Their opinions have no weight
I don't value their opinions.

On if I do or not make it
On my ability to succeed.

I only raise my head because
I only hold my head high because

It's not the time to look at my own feet
I need to stay focused on my goals.

I won't admit defeat
I refuse to give up.

Even when I feel the need to retreat
Even during times when I want to give up.

With time I've learned to embrace the down times
I've learned to accept difficult times as part of life.

When it hits me
When life gets tough.

Cause if I don't
Because if I don't.

Then it eats me
It will consume me.

Won't give nobody the chance to get to me
I won't let anyone hurt me.

When the balloon pops
When something goes wrong.

No air can fix it
It can't be repaired.

So give me air
Give me space to breathe.

And let me fix me
And let me work on myself.

These tools have always been part
I've always had these abilities.

Of the wrong kit
But I haven't always used them effectively.

So I won't let them put me in a box
I won't let preconceptions limit me.

In which I won't fit
That doesn't suit me.

When my soul spits
When I express myself through my music.

They can't hear me
Some people fail to understand me.

So when they talk back
When they criticize me.

I be like
I respond by saying.

My music is too sensitive
My music is emotional.

My message is repetitive
My themes are consistent.

Hey
Listen up.

They shunned me, mocked me
They rejected me and made fun of me.

Turned their back on me
They abandoned me.

So when they say that, it, I won't be
So when they doubt me or underestimate me, I won't let it affect me.

People look at you strange
People may view you differently

Saying you changed
Suggesting that you've become different.

Like you worked that hard
As if the hard work you've put in hasn't paid off.

To stay the same yeah
To remain stagnant.

It's Live
This is real life.

Release
Let go of negative thoughts and emotions.

I be on my way
I'm moving forward.

I be on my way yeah
I'm making progress in life.
