Lyrics

Haahaa
You know what it is
You know what I say
Home?
Is where the heart is, man
Home?
Is beautiful
But you know
Maybe in this case home is a person, you know I mean?
So what kind of person you wanna be?
Naamsayn?
I done been thru a whole lot
Gotta sprint to move forward
Get my tenth to the storehouse
I got guilt, this is torture
Need to win, when I conquer
Need a friend, not a coward
Do you think? Do you ponder?
See the shrink without close up? Cuz
I done been thru a whole lo-
Why you calling it secular?
I know I am no regular
Do you even care 'bout art
You follow trends and that says a lot
Ain't nobody gon follow up
If they ain't got no follower, huh
And I feel like
This ain't been no fear of heights
I needed some deep dive
Then come back to real life
So I can feel like me
Ain't nobody knows what I mean
Is there somebody that knows what I
I wanna feel like me again
Me again
I wanna feel like me again
Me again
She be a insta model
He just be poppin' bottles
She livin' in a bubble
He claiming to be humble
Now they quoting the Bible
You know their service idle
Yet, you put me in a spiral
Saying I'm a cause to stumble
Wait
I done lost myself, mayne, I had to find a way
All else fails, mayne, I just wanted to escape
If this what's gon' take so I don't end up insane
I'ma own it, I don't forfeit, I'm just saying
I'm making moves
Making music, making movies, I'm amused
Don't abuse your righteousness, you don't approve
Phone on mute
Finna hit this groove
Let me be me, dawg
Like it's Footloose
I wanna feel like me again
Look, this is my element
I don't know if you comprehend
This is how I be whole again
Why you view me as hooligan?
When we still work in unison
I'm tired of the ignorant
With one sided opinions, dawg
Painting my self portrait
I tried to be near perfect
But I ain't no anointed
Gotta accept my flaws
And be just my true self
Embrace my creativity
And live it up, for real
Aye
So I don't care no more
Hol' up
I don't care no more
Woah
I just wanna be me
I wanna
I wanna feel like me again
I wanna feel like myself again
I wanna feel like me again
Just myself again
I wanna feel like I am me again
I wanna feel like I am me again
You looking at me like I'm 'pose to be
Making something to make you feel
Happy, baby, I don't even know the deal
Am I an act or am I real?
Matter of fact, please don't reveal
Remember that in my head I am trapped
Tell me can I break free?
From the pressure they put on me
The measures that I can't achieve
Lectures that I disagree with
People that I had to please
Making me feel uncomfortable in my skin
Scared to be vulnerable, what are they gon' think?
Walking on eggshells, every move calculated
Else, I'll be expelled
But are we not all dedicated
Make me go thru hell
In my mind I feel so agitated
Now I choose myself
I don't care if you gonna hate it, I'm
I'm me
The things you say
Things you say
I'm unfazed
I don't care
I do it my way
Do it my way
I do it my way
Ava?
Ava?
Hey
I made it
I'm free
Ava?
I'm not in the void anymore
I'm glad to hear Suleiman®
However
I'm afraid
That the last part is not true
Not true?
Whatchu mean?
I moved on
I'm not in the void anymore
But how do you move on
By standing in the same place?
I'm really glad that you want to embrace your true self
But to say I don't care
And ignore the other issues
Is not the answer
It's okay to be in the void
It's okay to feel the emptiness you feel
It's okay to be lonely
But to move on
You have to face it
It's time to take a real look in the mirror
Because you know that I'm not real
It has been all in your head
You have been talking to yourself this whole time
You know what to do
