JonR - (DEMO) Lyrics

I'm feeling overshadowed
Every single day I'm shallow
I just try to write, but I don't
Put it on a mic, I ramble
Put a burn on it like Aloe
Hang me up, I am a gallow
Just shout me out like I'm hallow
I got roots just like a mallow
I try my best to make people proud
Are they happy, are they happy now
That I dipped on them, I took too much
Like what's the yapping about
They want clout, I want loyalty
They are trouts, but I am born to be
Something greater, I will pounce
If they growl at me, I'm the best
Keep it modest, I'll just rap and see
Where I end up in ten years
I'm blind to see am I destined to be
Something greater
Not apparently Don't you parent me
I see right through like transparency
I don't understand a lot of things
I'm just a kid is what a lot of people say
But I'm more than that, do you see
I'm a person too
And I have a lot to do to prove myself
So here I rap in front of you
A lot of people hate
But they've never seen the pain
What do they have to gain
They are brainwashed by fame
They play us like a game
And we are to blame
They put us to shame
Man these dudes can't be tamed
They try to obtain our legacy
And contain it from you and me
Strip us of our names and rename
But remain in the game
And we stay, don't let them ruin this thing
That we built, yeah we made
They will never make us concave
I don't know why I try to hide
I try to make myself believe
You're the bad guy
Look at me in the eyes
Tell me please
Don't make me cry
I'll tell you please
Just let me lie on the floor and realize
I've got nobody in my life except for family
That surprise is a prize
I've got told lies
By a lot of people been deceived, no compromise
I don't agree that things should be like this
But it is, I am being split
Tear my heart right down the middle in pieces
I'm done with this
My song would be better instrumental
What's the fun in this
I start to sulk again, yeah
I can't understand a lot of things
Why am I left in the rain?
Why do I like it
When I see you smile? that's the thing
Why do I like it
When my brain compiles all these memories?
Hell if I know
A lot of people hate
But they've never seen the pain
What do they have to gain
They are brainwashed by fame
They play us like a game
And we are to blame
They put us to shame
Man these dudes can't be tamed
They try to obtain our legacy
And contain it from you and me
Strip us of our names and rename
But remain in the game
And we stay, don't let them ruin this thing
That we built, yeah we made
They will never make us concave
