Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yes, I wanna be significant to more than one person

To me she means the world, I don't want her to feel burdened

Thank you for saying it's okay and through this, we will work through

Now, I just wanna make my songs and end up being stable

I don't want no label

Sitting at no plain round table

I don't want the CEO telling me who to relate to

I've already learnt that through trials and tribulations

Why you think I got you bopping to my sentimentals

I've been lying to myself thinking that I don't need help too

Never rap about my feelings

Keep them in my mental

I know that unhealthy 'cause lately things have become stressful

Can't think about anything but music or when I text you

You made, you made me realize I was never full frontal

I guess that's why my emotions are coming out in bundles

Well, well, at least that's more material for me to write to

'Cause when I whip my pen out, on that page I crumble

[Verse 2]

Listen, I've been empty on the inside, no lie

What's the point of living when you've got no life

I've told myself this a couple hundred times

Then put my mask on and rap about disguises

What a surprise

But have you looked me in my eyes and really seen the light?

Yeah, what a surprise

But have you looked me in my eyes and seen that I'm alright?

I'm fine

[Chorus]

Sometimes, it be too much, too much, too much

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

You gotta pretend

[Chorus]

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

You gotta pretend

[Verse 3]

Yeah, ehh, but I still wanna be that true light

Like a kite, taking flight

Yeah, I'm reaching new heights

Outta spite, you stay quiet 'cause you scheming

Know the only reason I stay quiet? 'Cause I'm dreaming

You wanna know the reason I stay quiet? 'Cause I'm healing

It started with a feeling, then a glow and now I'm beaming

It started with a verse, I let it deepen, now I believe it

Like an onion, leave you senti with the layers that I be peeling, yeah

Ahn, 'cause what's a fact to the factions?

And what's a key to the captives?

And what's a stack to the lacking?

And what's my flow to the stagnant?

And what's a storm to the calm when you crashing?

[Chorus]

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

You gotta pretend

[Chorus]

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

Sometimes it be too much, too much, too much

You gotta pretend
