Clicks, clicks, clicks
They'll do anything to get a few
Tick, tick, tick
That's the sound
Before my head explodes
Quit, quit, quit
Look at you up on your pedestals
Quick, quick, quick
Here the critics come
It's time to go
I read your article
It kinda hurt me
I don't know who hired you
Or what your friends
Aay in your circle
But the fact that you released
It tells me two things
Are for certain
They get paid for trashing people
I get paid 'cause I stay working
Dropped The Search
And they emerge up
Outta nowhere to the surface
Just to peek behind the curtain
Throwing salt at all my burdens
I'm aware I shouldn't give
This my attention, life's a journey
I should just stay on my path
And learn to laugh
You think they heard me
Ears are burning, put 'em out
Quiet, quiet, look around
Why don't they find someone
Way more interesting to write about
Us, we're kinda boring, aren't we
All we do is whine and pout
It's confusing, so amusing
How I argue with myself, hello
I spit it with ease
So leave it to me
You doubt it
But you better believe
I'm on a rampage
Hit 'em with the record release
Depend on the week
I'm prolly gonna have to achieve
Another goal
Let me go when I'm over the beat
I go into beast mode
Like I'm ready to feast
I'm fed up with these thieves
Tryna get me to bleed
They wanna see me take an L
Yep, see what I mean?
How many records I gotta give you
To get with the program
Taken for granted
I'm 'bout to give you the whole plan
Open your mind up and
Take a look at the blueprint
Debate if you gotta
But gotta hold it with both hands
To pick up the bars
You gotta be smart
You really gotta dig in your heart
If you wanna get
To the root of an issue
Pursuing the mental can
Be dark and be difficult
But the pay off at the end of it
Can help you to get through it, ayy
Paid my dues, made it through
Spread the news, I'm on the loose
Makin' moves, I need some room
Thought we's cool, well
Don't assume, don't assume, ayy
I'm the truth, oh
They want some proof
Here, don't be rude
Something new, even when I lose
I make it look cool
Do the show, then we hit the room
Wife is looking, oh
What to do, I don't need
The shades up to like the view
It's time to get back
In the swing of things
When my life crashes
I'm not the guy that'll flee the scene
I'll take ownership
And own it and raise my hand if it's me
Just remember though
I'm only a man, I'm a human being
Don't they see, Shoot the breeze
I'd rather just stay discrete
People claim they're in your corner
But leave you in times of need
They don't listen, do they
They don't listen to anything
I'll accept advice
If it's not presented ignorantly
Look, costs are high, they multiply
Then cause divides
I'm forced to fight
The poison I been sipping
On has quite the bite
It killed me twice
They rigged the lights
So y'all can see
The parts of mine
That aren't so bright
See, often I apologize
Then authorize the awful times
To pop up (Nate!) like
I'm right behind you
I'd advise you not to try
To climb inside the mind like I do
Keep the rhyme book
Expedite it, overnight it
Hold it tight and hope
That time is on my side
'Cause if it's not
Then I'll decide to
Override my own demise
I toe the line too close
And I could improvise
I'd empathize, but recognize
The fact that I could
Jeopardize and wreck our lives
You better give me your attention
The undivided
Paid my dues, made it through
Spread the news, I'm on the loose
Makin' moves, I need some room
Thought we's cool, well
Don't assume, don't assume, ayy
Paid my dues, made it through
Spread the news, I'm on the loose
Makin' moves, I need some room
Thought we's cool, well
Don't assume, don't assume, ayy
