Lyrics

I know, I know, I know
I got so much to learn, I know
I swear I'm nice, and damn I try
What's snakes and prey, just a circle of life
Now I'm biting my tail, tryna let you get by
How much better is it to eat myself alive
Momma says I'ma mess, really where can I hide
I ain't tryna deceive ya, I can't help this disguise
I know I'm a selfish monster, but nobody agrees
Successful manipulation is all that I see
Rap till I get dry mouth, mix until my ears bleed
Of course I'm always late for work, you see my priorities
Spread thin, and I'm used to not putting it into words
Dictating my feelings, falling short, what I deserve
Is some time without the stress, watch my passion bite the curb
As the rain washes away all the hope I have to learn
To protect myself from storms in ways that don't predict the weather
Or not I push myself out to the edge, like I'm a ledger
I'm covering the grave, to save myself from the depression
I know I ain't the son of god, but maybe I'm a lepper
Pulling money out the booth like it was beat the clock
But all these people wanna know if I've been street or not
Pushing forward, I'm so prone to get my back stabbed
Toxic environments start seeping through my hazmat
I'm suited up but I been down to let a seam rip
That vanity will keep you down inside a deep pit
When the pleasure come around you better seize it
You fumble too much then you really start to lose your grip
Being heard from the asylum is a far cry
Until this island in the ocean is your whole life
Even if you try to swim it, know you won't die
You just wash up on the shore, like you never tried
I know that Sisyphus was trapped, and I can walk away
But the siren song is pullin' on my tongue to stay
This life ain't mythical but I come from a humble place
Maybe I'm skiing Mount Olympus in a downhill race
Wake up in the mirror, say I'm special, as she drool
I can go ridiculous, but never play the fool
Better get your tickets like the prom is after school
Show up to the concert late, it's just what rappers do
Before I had the occupation, blamed the ADD
Then I got my medication, ain't no stopping me
Try to write a chorus, but there's nothin to repeat
Sometimes I'm so joyous, I just wanna sing along
Other times, I can't believe it's me inside the song
Ever since I learned to put my journal on the beat
Mind is unrestricted but my time is never free
Heart is overflowing, but my tears, they never leak
I just hope that Bunny smiling looking down and sees
I can finally realize the man I want to be
That means I
Rap till I get dry mouth, mix until my ears bleed
Of course I'm always late for work, you see my priorities
Spread thin, and I'm used to not putting it into words
Dictating my feelings, falling short, what I deserve
Is some time without the stress, watch my passion bite the curb
As the rain washes away all the hope I have to learn
I know
I got so much to learn, I know
I gots to learn, and learn, I know
