Bag on my back
I tighten up the strap
Shut the haters up, yeah
You know I make 'em fall back
You don't know me
You stare and give a mean glare
You say I ain't unique
And my style ain't fair
Hell, life ain't fair
Eat you up like a bear
Hibernate in cold air
Bars flashy like a flare
These people tryna sentence me
I'm only 16
Make that green
Punch in
I punch out
Get my paycheck and I leave
I sit in my room getting lectured
Sitting on the bed
Disregarding me
A talking head
Fake me sitting there
Looking like some raw meat
No one there listening
And I sweat yea glistening
They keep telling me, scrub the floor
I tell myself, a little more
I try to get far so far
Start feeling chills in my core
I look up, I feel hope
I look down, I feel broke
Broken up, little pieces
Big puzzle
No meaning
Now this is what I feel
Without my nightmares becoming real
This is really what you do
This is really what you do
Here we are now
Now I'll dance to the sound
Of my heartbeat
And it's still beating loud
Now my heart seeks
What's this feeling
I look buff, I feel swole
My skin rough, durable
I keep tryna reach my goal
Tryna push me in the hole
They don't accept me anymore
They look at me like I'm a fool
But they don't know what I've been through
Hold on, let me get a pencil
Let me go home and write some shit
I'm tryna make it suspenseful
Just know that I respect all
But I certainly don't fear you
Running is like flying
Flying on earth
Chai with the thirst
Face to the dirt
I tell myself, shut up, and get back to work
One day, I'm nice
And the next, I'm a jerk
But I'm not really though
Just putting in the work
Putting in the hours
Showing I'm no smurf
Proving that I'm capable
Proving my worth
Showing I'm valuable
No, I don't gotta lurk
I used to be deceitful
Full of defeat
Got swept off my feet
Started feeling all the heat
I tried to be in peace
I tried to eat my beef
I tried to swallow my pride
And be humble
Now this is what I feel
Without my nightmares becoming real
Feeling all the gravity
Feeling all the pounds
Feeling everything at once
Weighing me down
