Josiah Levi - Tug of War Lyrics

Doing all this won't do anything
How much pain are you gonna bring
This ain't planned so I gotta wing
All my smiles just left in my dreams
Buried under pressure gotta stay clean
My guilty pleasure now I'm so mean
That hidden treasure it's in my genes
Why u gotta measure the boys still green
His anger been planted
Now he is just rantin
His future just passed grim
Can you understand him
His anger been planted
Now he is just rantin
His future just passed grim
Can you understand him
No, you can't
But that's because you don't care
And if you don't care then why do you have so much time to spare?
What?
So much time to spare?
Why you say you're there for me when you ain't even there?
People only there to watch the drama unfold
People don't care if the boys heart turn cold
People don't wanna help they just wanna control
Boy's getting stuck just tryna get a foothold
You talkin trash ima do it back twofold
Spreading fake lies think I'm getting way too old
Getting sick of everything that's hidden and untold
Truth never comes it's always getting outsold
Doing all this won't do anything
How much pain are you gonna bring
This ain't planned so I gotta wing
All my smiles just left in my dreams
Buried under pressure gotta stay clean
My guilty pleasure now I'm so mean
That hidden treasure it's in my genes
Why u gotta measure the boys still green
His anger been planted
Now he is just rantin
His future just passed grim
Can you understand him
His anger been planted
Now he is just rantin
His future just passed grim
Can you understand him
My life is changing, what did I do
Got in trouble couple times, just a few
Got in trouble more, that is true
What do you do? Now you pull me out of school
This time though, I'm done being sad
My brain switched now I'm just getting mad
Done falling on my knees no more knee pads
You don't recognize me? Well that's too bad
You say you're tryna protect? What if I don't wanna be protected
You say you want what's best? What if I don't want what's best then
What if this is just a test? What if I don't wanna be tested
You wanna help with my stress? Well sorry I didn't request it
Doing all this won't do anything
How much pain are you gonna bring
This ain't planned so I gotta wing
All my smiles just left in my dreams
Buried under pressure gotta stay clean
My guilty pleasure now I'm so mean
That hidden treasure it's in my genes
Why u gotta measure the boys still green
His anger been planted
Now he is just rantin
His future just passed grim
Can you understand him
His anger been planted
Now he is just rantin
His future just passed grim
Can you understand him
I will be just fine
I will be alright
Just having tough times
Future is in sight
I will be just fine
I will be alright
Just having tough times
Future is in sight
