Here we go
Yeah
I started to feel like I didn't belong
Feeling withdrawn
I had to admit that I was wrong
I don't pillow talk
I don't stay that long
This a hustle theme song
Go ahead and sing along
Let 'em use you for the clout
It's an ego boost
You got 'em out that drought
Fuck a room
For improvement, we need a fucking house
Tip toe just like a mouse
I'm creeping out that couch
Don't slouch
They quick to pull from that pouch
Ouch
Watch out, could lose a spouse
They come to hear the rage displayed perfectly on the page
Talking shit while I'm holding sage
I block the plague
I don't engage
Ignoring your ways, I'm past that stage
You stuck in a maze, in amaze
We all go day by day
This beat, my prey
Fucking it, no foreplay
Step by step like a runway
Enjoy the buffet
This is everyday
Just an entree
Over here, ain't no cliches
No opinions, no surveys
Damn
Got my demons depressed
They sitting next
Like, how you handle this stress
I don't know... A deep breath
Life's a game of chess
White pieces get the first step
So we prep
Get you reps
I'm just tryna get bicep
Ooh
No knock knock for the cops
That's your real ops
Enjoy the month
They give us props
Talking about it until it stops
Bad apple.. More like the orchard
It's so important we see our views are distorted
Countless deaths.. There ain't no shortage
But I put the pain back in storage
Cuz somehow y'all see this boring
So I'm done exploring
Ughhh
I'm not main stream
These verses have repercussions
Gotta be careful what I'm discussing
Who you trusting when them boys get to rushing, outside busting
Time to take a peek
I'm playing hide and seek
These demons chasing me
They really tongue and cheek, when they speak.. each week
Telling me I'm not unique until my confidence leaks
Then I tweak until I don't feel bleak
Happiness is what I seek
Go
Pain.. Self inflicted
Not gifted
Worked hard for this position
How I shifted
Got you twisted
Please stop dissing
Hear you hissing
No submission
Why audition
Y'all giving off these bad admissions
I don't know if I can fix it
I don't see no competition
Competition
Competition
Competition
Competition




Competition
Oof.. Too easy
