Seventeen with a pen and a pad Writin' out my life, makin' sense of my past Tryna find the light through a sensitive mask I don't take it off 'til I'm deep in the track Speakin' to myself, just reflectin' off of the page (Yeah) Who knew the passive kid was just good as passin' the rage? (Yeah) Off into a song so it couldn't live in the cage That sat upon his shoulders just hiding behind his face Back when it was simple, before it was a job Before the expectations, before I knew the odds Back when it was just a broken heart I had to fix Now I'm scared that I've been broken since I made a couple hits Fans want me to fly but they keep me on a leash Fears of losin' me to a level that they can't reach This the life I chose and they tell me that I'm a beast But all I wanted was the beauty, all I'm searchin' for is peace Can someone help me catch my breath? My heart is beating out my chest Hyperventilating I thought I was waitin' On someone to save me But I'm findin' lately All I can count on to not drive me crazy Is being right here for the person who needs me But holdin' myself up, it ain't been too easy Songtexte They give me pain then I elevate Replicate the feelin' when I meditate Can't find my state of mind when I'm out of state If I take a break, I'ma break Overthink when I don't wanna think Watch my thoughts, I don't wanna sink in 'em Pointin' out my fears, like, whatcha think of 'em? Countin' out the years like what you leavin' them Droppin' every classic, how you sleep on 'em? How you sleep on 'em? Lately, I've been keepin' it secretive, always feelin' defeated Feelin' the blisters on my feet, I see y'all kickin' your feet up Don't call me to kick it, I'm on a track, I don't mean to meet up If you ain't workin', you workin' to keep up Can't see me, I'll see you, ayy! Outta breath, I've been a mess, too many choices been a guess Overworking 'cause I know the water's coming for the neck Doin' more, I'm feelin' less, is that a recipe I'll test? Looking out the window, got a question for the blessed Can someone help me catch my breath? My heart is beating out my chest Hyperventilating I thought I was waitin' On someone to save me But I'm findin' lately All I can count on to not drive me crazy Is being right here for the person who needs me But holdin' myself up, it ain't been too easy Yeah, yeah, yo Truth be told, I've been away I went from starvin' to havin' a competition on my dinner plate And I don't say that to intimidate, I just want these gimmicky rappers to step aside so I can innovate I built my whole studio inside my living space So I'm writin' home with the lyricism I illustrate (Yeah) I give people they flowers while they can smell 'em And not a minute late, 'cause then they start to disintegrate Rose petals and falsettos, they never really make it to these dark ghettos So Air Jordans and Margielas and dark yellow Will shimmy from the rain when the storm settles Damn, it ain't easy but I'm fine with that I put my heart into this music, it's forever where you'll find me at I'm in the future lookin' back at this rap like an artifact Tryna remember just where I started at Aus Songtexte Mania
