[NF:]
Look, self-awareness
Pride's a coat and yes
I like to wear it
Buttoned up
Don't like to let no air in
With a pair of gloves
That I hope doesn't perish
I discovered, though
When I get holes in them
And I let joy in
I'm in higher spirits
My mistakes are like a screaming parrot
Just repeating lyrics
I can barely bear it when I'm lost
Road is narrow
I'm lookin' down
It like a gun's barrel
Aren't we all searching
For the serum that could
Help us breathe and
Leave our state of peril
All of us have made
Defensive scarecrows
That we scatter 'round our
Fields and treat like heroes
When they scare away the
Things that we should cherish
'Cause we're too embarrassed
To admit the fear is that we're lost
Yeah, but what does it matter
I get so combative
Inside of me's a personal canvas
The paint can be splattered
Get messy when I start to get rattled
The heart of a savage
I'm quiet when I lurk in the shadows
But somethin' don't add up
I don't wanna be overdramatic
But look at the data
It's obvious that humans are fragile
We tend to get mad at
The ones that call us out
But the fact is we need someone
That'll be honest
When we fly off the handle
I admit I throw a fit
When I begin to unravel
Keep my wits, been off the grid
But now I'm back in the saddle
My intent is not to rent
I like to own what I value
I could sit here on the fence
Or maybe pick up the paddle
I like to row against the current
That's the way that I travel
Opposite of what the grain does
Got the brain of a rebel
Take initiative
I'm diligent on every level
I never could settle
I like to keep
My foot on the pedal, yeah
I'd love to pack arenas and all
But what I really wanna do
Is learn to handle my thoughts
And put the reins on 'em
Show 'em I'm the one that's the boss
And pull 'em back when
They get out of hand
I'm breaking they jaws
I'm taking the flaws
That told me I could never evolve
Then pull a Bane on 'em, ask 'em
Oh, you think you're in charge?
You oughta know better
Ain't no way around it, I'm flawed
The traits that I want
They say I can't afford what it cost
But I, manifested this
Failing's how you grow
And learn your lessons, kids
Take the worst and
Try to make the best of it
'Cause when you fail
Just know that it's a test and if
You can learn to pick
Yourself back up again
And train your brain to not
Be such a pessimist
It's okay to make mistakes
Just don't forget that
There's a high road but
I skip the exit when I'm lost
Yeah, when I'm lost
When I'm lost
When I'm lost
When I'm lost, lost
[Hopsin:]
Wow, these burdens are heavy
And I'm hoping it don't bury me
I used to be joyful
And skip so merrily
But now I'm too cautious
And tip toe carefully
My mind left and
It's nowhere to be found
Am I a big ol' parody
'Cause it's no fair to me
And now I'm at the point
Where I'm spending a grand
A week on hypnotherapy
Look, I'm tryna wash away my sins
I got a group of loved ones
That ain't my friends
And if I ever take an L
Then they might grin
And they all wanna see me
Atay in the cage I'm in
So when it come to anybody
There's no trust for no one
Man, so what,
My whole plan's to go nuts
My shoulders ready for more shrugs
I'm gonna judge
Anybody tryna enter my circle
With no love (Hold up)
My sanity's gone
I'd rather be torn from this planet
They planted me on
Yes, that's a reward
I'm actually bored with
Having a sore heart
It's torn apart from a family
That I don't have anymore
I was living so oblivious
With millions
It really was a pity, huh
It's kinda funny what a penny does
Mixed in with a mini buzz
Life's got me by the neck
With a blade against it
Guess I was running late
For the train and missed it
The only thing I feel
Is pain and vengeance
So I'ma act out like a raging misfit
And every verse
I lay gonna stay sadistic
You wanna hate me
Good, great, terrific
You'll never see the day
Where my anger's dismissed
You better go and change
Your wishlist 'cause I
Yeah, manifested this
Do not treat me like
Some adolescent kid
I am praying to the Lord
With the Book of James hoping
He gonna add my testament
This dark cloud, that's my residence
Demons knocking
I don't have to let 'em in
I done made mistakes
Day to day, you probably can't relate
I just ain't the same
When I'm lost
[NF:]
Yeah, when I'm lost
When I'm, when I'm lost
When I'm lost
When I'm lost, lost
