Yeah, *** the labels and the people trying to turn a profit
I'm trying to pop and to stay true to myself in the process
But when your pockets empty you can turn to savage quick
I'm knowing in my heart that I'm destined for more than this
A fortress that I built around my self-protective feelings
I keep a picture of my idols taped onto the ceiling
Cause I got dreams, but I'm still too insecure to reveal them
Peeling back the layers but they'll never take the time to heal it
So I'ma jump in a whip and drive until I'm hitting a coast
And checking the posts to see who's really out here living the most
And giving these folks a vague idea for what life's supposed to be
And hopefully the ones who guard the gate will notice me
That's locally famous though doesn't mean a thing
I guess it's probably more healthy to let the weight you feel define success
I'm pressing on the eject button but feeling stuck
Eventually we all run out of luck
And that's why I've always lived and rapped under a different name
Cause at my core I'm nothing special and I'm still afraid
That at the end of the day you only love the business
And you will never accept the human behind the image
I know these feelings don't like me
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
There ain't nobody here like me
I know these feelings don't like me
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
I know nobody here likes me
Take me home
Yeah, thinking that maybe this *** I've been telling myself is nuts
Like I didn't get clean to fill this ***ing vat of drugs
And everyone going so fast just hoping the past would never haunt us
You're wondering why I'm wanting to hide and lose myself in comics
Yeah, I'm a product of hip-hop and pop-punk ***
Graffiti artists, cocaine, and the carpet dysfunction
Forty ounces of night spent at the skate park with
Nothing but a couple dollars, feeling brokenhearted
I started rapping, I started feeling inadequate
An accident who's unable to deal with his abandonment
Attacking with his feelings in hopes that he can manage
But when life rubs you the wrong way enough you build some calluses
So analyze this, a walking contradiction
A man who works for success but don't believe his vision
It ain't a question of the masses, I know I'll convince them
But will I ever convince me? I have to listen
I know these feelings don't like me
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
There ain't nobody here like me
I know these feelings don't like me
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
I know nobody here likes me
Take me home
Take me home
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
Take me home
