Novocaine
The Unlikely Candidates Lyrics

Novocaine, I keep it coming so I feel no pain
I use Novocaine as a metaphor to describe how I avoid confronting my problems and end up feeling numb instead.

I tell my girl that I'mma change my ways
I promise my girlfriend that I will change for the better, but deep down, I know it's unlikely to happen.

She knows I'm never gonna change (Change)
My girlfriend is aware that I have a pattern of repeating negative behavior and not making significant improvements.

Same old shit
I'm stuck in a rut and tend to repeat the same unproductive behavior.

Running my mouth until she busts my lip
I tend to be impulsive and say things without thinking, which often leads to conflict with my girlfriend.

So many problems, you can take your pick
I have a lot of issues that need to be addressed, and it's difficult to decide where to start.

I know I'm never gonna change
Despite my desire to improve, I lack the motivation to put in the effort needed to make lasting changes.

I am what I am, I know what I know
I'm self-aware and recognize that I have flaws and limitations.

I'll let you down if you let me too close
I tend to disappoint people who get too close to me because of my inability to change my negative behavior.

If you catch me running away then you'll know
I have a tendency to avoid my problems instead of facing them head-on, and if you see me running away, you'll know I'm avoiding something.

Guess you can blame it on my left side brain
Blaming my negative behavior on my brain's left side is an excuse for not taking responsibility for my actions.

I should know better but you know
I'm aware of my destructive behavior but struggle to change it despite knowing better.

I know, I know I ain't never gonna change
I'm certain that I won't change, no matter how much I may want to or how hard I try.

Got no shame!
I'm unapologetic about my behavior, even when it causes problems for others.

Spend all my money as soon as I got paid
I have poor spending habits and tend to waste money quickly after receiving it.

Wonder why the party's over soon as I arrive
I tend to cause problems and create conflict wherever I go, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Must've done something in a former life
I make light of my negative behavior by attributing it to something external, such as karma or previous lives.

I don't really wanna change
Despite my promises to do better, I don't have the desire to make the necessary changes in my life.

Change!
The repetition of this word represents my internal struggle to make changes despite my resistance to doing so.
