Innocent one in the corner but
He got nothing for ya
Yeah I got nothing for ya
If people get a taste, they should savour
I am not one to ask for favours
You have nothing to offer me
Best be gone and be off with me
And people just blame the
Innocent one in the corner but
He got nothing for ya
Yeah I got nothing for ya
If people get a taste, they should savour
I am not one to ask for favours
You have nothing to offer me
Best be gone and be off with me
Where's the cure for the ones struggling to make it last?
Where's the cure for the ones with a fam and no cash?
Misery & Mortality is a trend to me and too many people out here don't take it seriously
Worth a like, worth a mention but not your time
Whats that like? Feeling so numb dumb, what's your type?
You wanted it all, yeah the show and the fame
Too busy to call but you go and blame
And people just blame the
Innocent one in the corner but
He got nothing for ya
Yeah I got nothing for ya
If people get a taste, they should savour
I am not one to ask for favours
You have nothing to offer me
Best be gone and be off with me
Set me on fire yeah
Set me aside
Pour the gasoline on me and
Set me alight
Lost inside man my mind has died
Yeah you right man
I wanna get out
All they ever say is do it like that, do it like this
Put the libs over ya like woah
I don't need your time, I just need to have my say
Cause I'm over here and I go insane
And people just blame the
Innocent one in the corner but
He got nothing for ya
Yeah I got nothing for ya
If people get a taste, they should savour
I am not one to ask for favours
You have nothing to offer me
Best be gone and be off with me

The beginning of the song talks about how innocent people are often blamed and ignored by others.

Misery & Mortality is a trend to me and too many people out here don't take it seriously
To me, suffering and death seem to be treated as a fashionable phenomenon, and many people fail to treat it with the gravity it deserves
Worth a like, worth a mention but not your time
Receiving social media recognition and acknowledgment is considered valuable, but not enough to deserve your attention in real life
Whats that like? Feeling so numb dumb, what's your type?
What does it feel like to be emotionally detached and ignorant? What is your personality like?
You wanted it all, yeah the show and the fame
You desired to have everything, including attention and popularity
Too busy to call but you go and blame
You are too occupied to make contact, yet you still find someone to accuse
Set me on fire yeah
Ignite my passion and intensity
Set me aside
Put me in a separate category or disregard me
Pour the gasoline on me and
Fuel my fire and enthusiasm
Set me alight
Ignite me, make me shine
Lost inside man my mind has died
Feeling confused and isolated, my mental state is deteriorating
Yeah you right man
Yeah, you're correct, man
I wanna get out
I desire to escape or break free
All they ever say is do it like that, do it like this
Everyone consistently advises to do things in a certain way or another
Put the libs over ya like woah
Emphasize or prioritize the liberal ideologies over everything, like a powerful impact
I don't need your time, I just need to have my say
I don't require your attention, I simply want to express my thoughts and opinions
Cause I'm over here and I go insane
Because I'm in this situation and it drives me crazy
