Şarkı sözleri

(Hmm)
I found out late whilst never on time
Year 7, Year 8, Year 9
Can't focus, but I don't know why
Everyone else is so organized
Anger and chaos is in my mind
Been through pain, but we all have, right?
(Ha)
(Yeah)
What did the teacher say those days?
"He's got potential, he's okay
If he tried harder to be engaged, maybe he'll be at a different stage" (yeah)
Lucky I was kinda bright and I got good grades
I was suspended a number of times, I'm not gonna lie, I was badly behaved (yeah)
Lived in Kilburn, I used to go Anson Primary School
Cricklewood times I was moving cruel
Wasn't the quick Year 6 I was tryna act cool
Templar house where they found the tool
And suttin' else got way out of hand, with something sharp and a family member
My mum prayed, "Return to sender", dad said, "We're moving up and out"
And he had no doubts, moved to Hertfordshire
Welwyn Garden City, to be specific
In school fell in love with the lyrics and English
But detention's prolific
Sitting in class I would fidget
Breaking the rules, I'm pushing the limit (yeah)
I never knew about ADHD
That went against my parent's beliefs
Christian home, Pentecostal speech
Never really got to the root of the symptoms
We were barking up the wrong tree
A diagnosis gave me hope, still thanking God, yes I still believe
Listened to Ruff Sqwad, Misty Cold
That seemed to clear that fog in my mind
Cleaned up my mental space with grime
Never on road, it was stupid fights
Random actions, useless strife
(Yeah)
GCSEs I breezed when I kinda revised
Being academic was a lifeline
I was in C Block with Mr O'Connor
Got a high grade in Public Speaking
Thinking, "That was a different Summer"
A teacher's words can break a glass ceiling
That's how I interpret that feeling
A teacher's words can shatter that glass
A word in season brings the right healing
Ended up doing well in that class
(Yeah)
But I'm still in detention every other day
I never knew about emotional dysregulation, all I knew is that I felt rage
That's why I punched (tsk) in the face
That's why we fought behind the gates
I never knew about impulse control, I was just a class clown, any time, any place (yeah)
I never knew about RSD, why a lot of things felt so peak most days
I never knew why I felt the music so deeply and why my mind would escape on the songs
I'd hyperfixate, some social interactions were a maze
Can't relegate this to a teenage phase
Got a mask on, now underneath it remains
(Yeah)
I never knew about ADHD
That went against my parent's beliefs
Christian home, Pentecostal speech
Never really got to the root of the symptoms
We were barking up the wrong tree
A diagnosis gave me hope, still thanking God, yes I still believe
Graduated from Uni of Essex with a 2:1 in English language
That's a lot of last-minute essays
And I could've got a first, that's facts
Lost out cuz I forgot one exam and because of that my whole module got capped
Tightness in my chest sprinting to the exam hall before they told me, "It's a wrap"
But when I started my graduate job is when I really saw the symptoms increase, or maybe in school, in uni
I hung around peeps that were more like me, so the traits weren't as blatant to see
But now masking was hard to achieve
Suddenly felt over-exposed to people, that don't understand or believe
Can't just put it down to a new environment
This stuff went on for years, my G, and my
Work ethic and ambition were high
Real life, I'm tryna be the best, indeed, I was
Reading books and studying videos
I'm really tryna succeed
Clients and a team, responsibility
Articulate speech and a passion to lead
But the cold hard truth is I'm getting brain fog
And at times I would freeze
On average getting four hours of sleep, every night it repeats, repeats
How do you stay on track when your mind keeps racing?
I feel like a patient, struggle with patience
Then they gave me medication
Now I can focus, symptoms are fading, but I don't feel myself
I've taken these pills for a month, prescription, can't get these off a shelf
But I feel numb when I take them, emotional bluntness
A concerted effort, I'm taking Concerta
The doses mean I'm not feeling like me
Do you know how it feels to be broken?
Medication works for some people, I know, but not for me, so I feel hopeless
And I'm going at life with all of my try, but regardless of how I approach this
My brain is my main opponent, I hate victim mentality
But in the same token, overdiagnosis doesn't mean bogus
Two things can be true so I wrote this
To remind myself to keep fighting
There are tools that I use when I'm writing
There are tools that use when I'm working
There are tools that we use when we're living
Old mindsets that I'm killing
Now I know that I'm not the villain
Yes, it was heavier when this weight it was hidden
(Yeah)
'Cause I never knew about ADHD
That went against my parent's beliefs
Christian home, Pentecostal speech
Never really got to the root of the symptoms
We were barking up the wrong tree
A diagnosis gave me hope, still thanking God, yes I still believe
