These Things Happen Too

Yeah I guess it's about that time You know? Dakari, just let it run Uh Party in a penthouse until I pass the fuck out Reminiscin' being broke and hopin' I would luck out Fast-forward, that was then, I switched my perspective I was supposed to make it here, this wasn't luck, it was destined Why the fuck am I surprised? Will I ever feel I belong here? Spillin' my soul right now, the story gets long here We waitin' for this album to drop, it's been a long year Feel like it's been forever, the fuck has been going on here? Sex, plus drugs, plus rock 'n' roll added That equation, mixed with success and raw talent They talk about me, think I went crazy, goddamnit Whoo! I really went crazy, goddamnit Uh, pull the curtain, there's nothing left here to hide behind I come with baggage, I'm complicated, you know my sign Try fathomin' what happens inside my mind Intoxicated on substances, I've been tryna to find 'em Reason to change, I found reason to rage Play Jim Morrison, fuck it, people are strange Deal with it, on God, there's no keeping me in a cage They try to buy my soul, but it's not an even exchange I just had an epiphany, I'm top ten in this industry If you knew the end result, then what would you have done differently? My Jekyll and my Hyde look like anything here but symmetry But I ain't looking for nobody's sympathy This for the kids who buy tickets This for the fans of the music This for the kids who get some inspiration from me and use it This for myself, to jot this out is all therapeutic But I never lost myself, so don't you ever confuse it Readin' comments on my 'Gram, I'm like, "Damn, they really got at me" "What happened to the old G? This sucks, won't you come back, G?"
