Alone + Scared


Dreams of being big, won't get shoved back

Speaking the truth is what all of yall lack

Fortunate in many ways but the mind's dark

Friends introduced to hip-hop, that was my spark

Important to the genre like Lewis & Clark

Best new inventions, call me Tony Stark

Lifes pretty stressful, don't dismiss

Music is hope, that's why I do this

I'm too poetic, to let it, be

I was made for this, can't you see

Dreams of my own but wanna make em proud

Hard to please anyone when everyone doubts

Seems like I gotta, pick and choose

Who to live for cause I don't wanna lose

Everything, it always seems to fal apart

See at the end but wish I knew from the start

 

Stressless, but remain alone and scared

Tricked myself into thinkin' anyone cared

Listen to my legacy, least they stopped and stared

Even though we know I can't be repaired

(x2)

 

Whenever I graze at the big picture

Depression and Remorce, seem to be the mixture

My heart sinks lower when I see others smile

I get no respect cause they don't feel my style

I see, and notice, the monster in me

I've tried to deal, but it's stuck inside of me

I cry on the inside with every breathe

Praying for my dream as I cling to death

The moment when fantasy becomes reality

Working and working, for the totality

Defying odds to be worshipped like a god

Always speak my mind so I can't be a fraud

When the payday comes, my soul will stay attached

The moment was out to grab, so I went and snatched

Never was good for anything but never quit

Guess I'll inspire millions, with words I spit
