Numb
Witt Lowry Lyrics

I mean it, I mean it, okay, I'm the meanest, yeah
I am serious, I am the best and toughest person here

A gift and a curse, I feel everything oh-so-deep
Feeling things too deeply is both a blessing and a curse for me

"Witt got me in my feelings," yeah
My music touches people emotionally

Said the same motherfucker hatin' on me last week
The same person who criticized me last week is now appreciating me

I've been runnin' 'round the city, no patience
I have been impatiently striving hard in this city

We are so close, I can motherfuckin' taste it
I am almost there to reach my goals and can feel it

Came a long way from the motherfuckin' basement
I have come a long way from the place where I started

Workin' over time, so no wonder why I wonder where the day went
I have been working too hard, so it's understandable for me to lose track of time

"You will never make it, flow too angry"
People think that I won't become successful because of my aggressive lyrics

Caught up on complexion, said they won't play me
People judge me based on my skin color and refuse to play my music

Okay, hate me, if you're gonna do it
If you really have to hate me, then go ahead

I see through it, you're jealous, I'm new and love what I'm doin'
I know you're jealous of me because I am new here and love my work

You're booin' me cause you're losin', it's funny to watch you fumble
You are only booing me because you're losing and it's funny to see you fail

Your word is empty and sad, like your girl, you met her on Bumble
Your words are meaningless and pathetic, just like your girlfriend whom you met on a dating app

Your team is lazy and jumbled, my team is there if I stumble
Your team is unorganized and inactive, but my team is always there to support me

They turn a rap in a mumble, I keep it real and stay humble I know
Others are rapping in a mumbled tone, but I keep it real and stay humble

I know where I'm from but I don't stay no more (yeah)
I belong to a certain place, but I don't live there anymore

Cause everyone back home don't act the same no more (yeah)
People in my hometown have changed, and they're not the same anymore

So tell these motherfuckers I ain't playin' no more (woah)
I am no longer playing games, and people need to know that

I'm drownin' out my problems 'til my pain no more (yeah)
I am avoiding my problems until I no longer feel the pain

I'm goin' numb, hey
I am numbing my feelings and emotions

I hope you see what you've done to me
I hope you realize how much you have hurt me

Blurry vision, live it fast
My vision is cloudy, and I am living a fast-paced life

Motherfuck my past, I'm goin' numb
I want to forget my past completely and numb my thoughts

Still in my room, starin' up at the ceiling
I am still in my room, looking up at the ceiling

It's funny how I'm weak if I tell them that I have feelings
People think that I am weak if I express my feelings

It's funny how they think that they're relevant
People think they are important, but they're not

But I question intelligence of a nobody who hate for the hell of it
I doubt the intelligence of someone who hates someone else for no reason

You had your chance, girl, why you cryin'?
You already had your chance, so why are you crying now?

Oh it's different because you love me now, why you lyin'?
You are lying about loving me now when things are different

Oh I get it, you're a mess cause the last guy you met hit and left
I understand that you're a mess because the last guy you were with hit you and left

And that's when I get a text, you confess that you're all mine
You text me and confess that you belong to me

All lyin', I've becomin' numb to it
It's all a lie, and I am becoming numb to it

When I said I had a dream, you put a gun to it
You discouraged me and tried to kill my dreams

When you find me on your mind, I'ma run through it
When you think of me, I will come to your mind

When you want me back I will never give a fuck to it—I'm on a new level!
Even if you want me back, I won't care because I am on a different level now

I got some new devils, I got some new demons
I have some new problems and challenges to face

We're getting deeper than pussies
We are getting more profound than shallow

And sharks, only swarm when it's you bleedin'
Sharks only gather when there's blood around

I'm givin' music a new meaning, new meaning, now
I am giving music a new and profound meaning

Nowadays rap sound like shit
Rap music sounds terrible nowadays

Let me waste a couple of lines, make it sound like this
Let me waste some lines to show you how bad it sounds

One time I went to Atlanta
I once went to Atlanta

Plane got delayed so I stayed in Atlanta
The flight got delayed, so I had to stay in Atlanta

Not from Atlanta but steal all the grammar
Although I am not from Atlanta, I use their slang and way of speaking in my music

The game is in danger of me, make you feel like a panda
I am a threat to the music industry, and I can make you feel small and insignificant

Damn, see what I'm sayin'?
Wow, do you understand what I mean?

Aren't you mad there's no passion in the music you're playin'
Aren't you frustrated that there's no emotion or drive in the music you're listening to?

I ain't dissin', I'm just wishin' I could hear what you're sayin'
I'm not trying to be mean, but I wish I could understand the meaning behind your music

They're playin' a game and you're the one that's actually payin'
They're using you as a pawn in their game, and you're the one paying for it

I'm sayin' that playin' the game, and you're a pawn to it all
I am trying to say that you're being used as a pawn in their game

Teachin' drugs over love, now we're numb to it all
They're promoting drugs instead of love, and now we're all numb to it

Every shot you take is Novocaine, don't feel it at all
Every time you take a shot, it's like you're taking painkillers and don't feel anything

You're name-calling, I can hear it like a leaf when it falls and that's real
You're insulting me in a soft voice that's as clear as the sound of a leaf falling, and that's genuine
