Lyrics

I won't fit the mould you made
Your haters make the boldest claims
When you see them for who they are
Their frightened they can't hide away
Hide them but not from me
Eyes are sharp I sip my tea
Let them talk and you can see
Reveal themselves in 1, 2, 3
Don't try prove yourself to me
I've got years of expertise
Cos who you are I used to be
I know your tricks i know deceit
Don't try prove yourself to me
I've got years of expertise
But you can't play the player, trust me I perfected that technique
I done thought that I been evil
Had days I laid on my bed fetal
My eyes crying to the sky
I'm different to these people wheres my people?
I was bitter at the world
Said why'd you leave me by myself?
You done propped me on a shelf
I had no one but myself
But she said focus on yourself
These geese wont flock with an eagle
They ride freely, and it's peaceful
It's crazy cos I saw myself as weak
I let people shrink the person I thought I could be
There was a time I said my futures looking bleak
Self hate got the best of me
I swear I saw myself a freak
Critiqued all the things I couldn't tweak if I wanted to
Reflection in the mirror staring back like to say who are you?
To find myself I had to find my pain
I thought knew, myself like the back of my hand
I was a stranger in a skin that I'd made a brand
I changed myself oh yeah to fit that mould
The one society sold,
I would lie through my teeth just to blend in with sheep
Just so they didn't see me and deem me a freak
Mumma they deemed me a freak
Mumma they deemed me a freak
So fuck what they think, no really fuck what oh baby fuck what they think
So when I say my bullshit radar is on 10
Just know it's not a threat
It's just a life of being someone else has taught me when they're not themselves
Taught me what is fake from real
When I see you I see myself
Difference Is I grew but you got growing to do
That's your work, that's your duty
You got to find beauty in your trials
Your comfort zone will never change your toxic cycles
It's when life is throwing lemons
 You can really flip it
Learn to be forgiving
Baby we're all sinners
Just different styles of sinning
And baby we're all winners
Just different definitions of winning
As collective we are singing the same damn song
But we're competing for riches that's why we got it all wrong
Slowly killing the widsdom our very being is made from
Then we question why we're lost, we just want to belong
That's why I'm writing this song to tell you straight that you won't ever find yourself if you're just playing along
No you won't ever find yourself if you're just playing along
You won't ever find yourself if you're just playing along
