Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like that Mr. Aaron
(Ok yeah uh yeah uh yeah)
I see twisted pictures and missing the mark consistently
Don't know the difference of switching or am I quitting see
How can I thrive if I listen to my contingencies
Since back when I was little depending on their opinions been driving me crazy
Feel like Satan really been keeping an eye on me lately
My other passions and desires been trying to take me
Naw I'm obviously crazy
Naw I'm tired of faking
F is for friends who do stuff together
I pray to God I get used to them letters
Ain't had a friend since 8th grade me and Mal
Playing ball in the halls in the summer we hooping together
Seasons change it ain't got nothing to do with the weather
And people change it ain't about who been doing it better
I know I changed see the scars different flaws
Now I pause cuz I'm slower now to hang out with you and whoever
Dear diary
Maybe you may be tired of me
You let me bleed out the wounds that came from inside of me
And honestly I haven't been everything that I try to be
It's harder when I know I'm the only one that is stopping me
And I can see both sides of myself
I think I really need help to get it out of me
So I know I ain't perfect but I'm well over worth it I mean it pridefully
Pride comes before the fall
I've been tripping for years
Switching the gears
A lot of traffic just getting me hear
Look at the kid he thinks he knows something
Wisdom is really when he knows that he don't know nothing that's what I was told
Cold world I'm living in
Where many men will backstab for dividends
Or mask up for platforms and Twitter friends
Really man the only fans that's making you cooler is on the ceiling fan woah
(Ooohh)
But I get it I feel the pressure of being noticed cuz sooner or later they will forget ya
Candidly honest I cannot measure up to people's standards of me
They giving me more or lesser
(Uh yeah)
Watch what you saying to me
Cuz if you wasting my time then you're paying a fee
(Uh)
Writing my feelings it's okay to be weak
And if you thinking it's sweet then bake a cake for me please
(Yeah uh)
It's crazy to me thinking bout all the time that they persuaded a G
(Uh yeah)
And it's lazy to be
The same as everyone else I'm who God mad me to to be
(Woah uh)
Well if nobody told you recently just be yourself
That's the end of this diary entry
Love Tim
