Genre Hip Hop/Rap | Comments Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I swear I'm gonna change the game
Throw my money from the stage
Back to the fans who brought me here today
I never needed fortune, and I won't appreciate the fame
You'll find it makes it hard to concentrate
When you pave yourself a lane
Reveal your life and hope that someone will appreciate
The time it took to demonstrate
Emotion written on the page
I navigate through my mind to find what I dare to say
Headphones on making my way through the day
Staring down at the ground when I walk
Don't try to talk to me
Chorus:
Mask my pain like blue tape over paint
Maybe I'm insane
Mentally deteriorating
Smoking life away
Soul beginning to decay
Waiting at the devil's gate
He's always coming out to play
It's one thing that stays the same surrounded by constant change
Where what's given to you is guaranteed to be taken away
And what's bought can always be pawned to get the bills paid
My brain is in my skull but my mind is still astray
I scribble lyrics on the page to keep my sanity contained
Verse 2:
I write with the heat of passion
fu*k the wealth
If you're thinking cash can solve your problems
You must be mental
Check your health
Never fold in fear of odds
Do your best with what you're dealt
Keeping confidence in every thought
Don't look for help
You can do this all yourself
Annoying how the optimistic love to preach it
But life is truly what you make it
Don't overthink or complicate it
Pay attention and respect it
You could ruin your only chance before it's given
You can't achieve greatness through excuses
Chorus:
Mask my pain like blue tape over paint
Maybe I'm insane
Mentally deteriorating
Smoking life away
Soul beginning to decay
Waiting at the devil's gate
He's always coming out to play
It's one thing that stays the same surrounded by constant change
Where what's given to you is guaranteed to be taken away
And what's bought can always be pawned to get the bills paid
My brain is in my skull but my mind is still astray
I scribble lyrics on the page to keep my sanity contained
Verse 3:
I'm always jotting cuz I'm never talking
People like to say I look like Jay, but I go through life like silent bob
Intoxicating, vision hazy, I'm nodding off
Writing what I'm thinking while my body rots
Smoking like it's sacred I swear I'll never stop
How many shots will it take to escape these thoughts
My wounds will never heal
My blood's too thin to clot
Adversity I've fought is what inspires me to reach the top
a dying flame but misery is gasoline
fueling me to chase my dreams
Chorus:
Mask my pain like blue tape over paint
Maybe I'm insane
Mentally deteriorating
Smoking life away
Soul beginning to decay
Waiting at the devil's gate
He's always coming out to play
It's one thing that stays the same surrounded by constant change
Where what's given to you is guaranteed to be taken away
And what's bought can always be pawned to get the bills paid
My brain is in my skull but my mind is still astray
I scribble lyrics on the page to keep my sanity contained
