Livin' by myself, paranoid as hell, uh-huh, I swear, I lost interest in so many things
But this music shit, it's just not possible, I'll keep on lovin' you
It's a book that's been written, I'm not sayin' I'm the author, but I'm seein' a vision
Let me tell you about my life and why I'm in this position
I've been so focused and distracted, tryin' to keep up tradition
And maybe you think I'm trippin', but my decision is final
Because I'm chasin' all my goals and not just chasin' a title
I promise I'll keep makin' hits until they spinning my vinyl
You try to buy your way to life and you'll be lost in the aisle
Cause it's vital that you know that what you get is what you give
And I promise, Brodie I'm not tryin' to tell you how to live
I'm just tryna to tell you everything I probably should've did
When I was lyin' wide awake instead of dreamin' as a kid
And it's kinda crazy how my story has unfolded
I wasn't really sure that I would be the one who told it
I've been hoppin' on the beat and they've been callin' me a poet
If I gave you my heart, baby, would you be the one to hold it
Cause I've been livin' by myself, I've just been by myself
Paranoid as hell, I've been so paranoid
Yesterday is tomorrow, but somehow
Somehow, baby
I keep on lovin' you
I keep on lovin' you, baby, but I can't guarantee everything that's in front of me, baby
You told me that you think that you're the only one for me, baby
And sure, that shit might be true, cause who else comin' to save me, but
Lately I've been tryin' to focus on a new path
You got yourself a new man and he got you a new ass
And I've been tryin' to figure out a reason you would do that
Hard to keep track, old future with the new past
Honeymoon phase of my life
Promise I'm gon' make it and it's not out of spite
When the darkness gets too bright, you gotta run to the light
Someone gave me that advice, I didn't need it, I might
Sometimes I find myself sittin' and wonderin'
Who would I be if I didn't have this mic in front of me
That's probably someone I don't wanna be
Saved a spot in hell for all the people that's still under me
I've been livin' by myself, I've just been by myself
Paranoid as hell, I've been so paranoid
Yesterday's tomorrow
But somehow
I'll keep on lovin' you
