Why you gotta be so useless?

Why you gotta be so useless?

Why you gotta be so stupid?

Why you gotta be so foolish?

Why can't you just be like one of the normal kids that get a degree

Why can't you buckle down at a 9 to 5 and just make sure the family eats

I don't understand, I don't understand

Some days I wake up and feel useless

Everything else went according to plan

Except for the fact I keep losing

Does anyone trust me enough?

Does anyone love me enough?

I honestly doubt it

Not a single person in the room

Gon' admit that they do care bout me

That's what I think is the truth,

That's what I think is the truth

That's what I think has been throwing me out for a loop,

Losing my sleep and desire for food

I shouldn't believe in these lies,

But when I see it from this side, it seem like the truth

Every day, I look in the mirror, and I ask myself,

"Man, wassup with you?" like

Why can't you be normal like the other guys?

Why can't you appreciate the golden skies?

Why do you gotta tell yourself lies - hide the pain in your eyes, and conceal it inside

Why can't you be normal like the other guys?

Like them other guys

Losing investment, the stock fallin'

Comin' in clutch, but they all stallin'

Losing connection but I'm callin'

I'm tryin' too hard to make all this

Work, exactly the way that I want it to

I'm a perfectionist, that's what I gotta do

Only discovered that this was unhealthy

When I took the step and recovered - wait

Did I recover though? Nah, I'm still in the process

Acting like I already done this, but

I'm lost in the system like everyone else

And I'm still tryna ask for comeuppance?

This shit got me messin' up, for real

This shit got me fessin' up, for real

I listen to God but don't really trust

And that's why I be stressin' out for real

Why can't I be normal like these other guys?

Out there livin' their normal lives

While I'm out here trying to normalize

Mental wellness and formalize

A way for me to fix my mind

So I don't go back to my former life

But society keep feedin' lies, so I ask - why?

Why, why, why, why?

(So I ask) Why, why, why, why?

Why can't you be normal like the other guys?

Why can't you appreciate the golden skies?

Why do you gotta tell yourself lies - hide the pain in your eyes, and conceal it inside

Why can't you be normal like the other guys?

Like them other guys

I don't tell them that I'm okay

Because I'm actually not

Finding the bad in the good is a forte

That I wish I could stop

Wish they understood what I go through

But I can't be mad if they don't

'cause everyone got they own issues

And we all wanna hang up the coat

So I'll just wait till I'm fine

I really hope that You hear me

I've drafted this a thousand times

But - I don't know if I'm ready

Letting go of perfection,

'Cause I can't fit that bill

Walkin' out of depression

Holdin' on - to You still.
