Freeki - Believe What U Want (feat. Kid Projekt) Lyrics

I've been jumpin' guns 'cause I run too fast
When somethin' seems wrong and I see the past
It's not what it seems at first glance
Too late I already advanced
Didn't give them a chance to explain
When they said that I felt the pain
Already put the knife in their back
'Cause it brought me back a decade with flashbacks
When I realized they weren't on the attack
It was too late and I was off-track
Now I realize I was unfair
I was just scared and I wasn't all there
Back then I was misunderstood
I used to suck with words felt like I was no good
Some people took me for some kind of creep
That's why the pain I felt was so deep

But now I'm not gonna try
To convince you otherwise
I don't chase after lies
I know who I am inside
I don't need to validate
My existence with your hate
Now I'm not gonna front
I'll let you believe what you want

Had to take my time to see
To take responsibility
Believe in my ability
All the time I could've been free
From this disease wantin' to please
All these people on my knees
Beggin' and pleadin' for them not to leave
'Cause I was sick of losing folks
Seein' me as some kind of joke
An artist hiding behind their work
They're kind of ugly and kind of a jerk
That's what I thought at first
When my mind was at it's worst
People started to fade
Abandoned me and throwing shade
I take some of the blame I've had my issues too
I understood why they left after what I put them through
I didn't always listen I wasn't the best friend
But I wasn't the worst just needed to learn in the end
Cause I'm not perfect and I make mistakes
I grew up in places where one false move they'd make me break
Perfection is trendy that's what I heard them preach
I got sick of it easy you know what they should teach
Do what makes you happy stop tryin' to impress
Not everyone will like you so don't get in that mess
I'm not somethin' to fix I'm buildin' my future high
We all got flaws somehow just remember that we try
If you think you don't belong 'cause you have no friends or lovers
Flaws don't make you ugly, the rainbow needs all it's colors
Otherwise it's not as beautiful we're all supposed to learn
There is no when is my time to shine when is it my turn
Every day's your moment you make your life your own
Despite the circumstances let it be known you have grown
You have what it takes don't worry about what they say
Peace love and thanks to anyone that stays

But now I'm not gonna try
To convince you otherwise
I don't chase after lies
I know who I am inside
I don't need to validate
My existence with your hate
Now I'm not gonna front
I'll let you believe what you want
But now I'm not gonna try
To convince you otherwise
I don't chase after lies
I know who I am inside
I don't need to validate
My existence with your hate
Now I'm not gonna front
I'll let you believe what you want
