-I don’t want to let you have it
-You can't earn it this shit is not on trend

This shit is not on trend

I'm just doing my shit
-You could never do it like this
-Even tho

I'll keep it moving but you stay slow

-But I want everything that I can never have
Expressing a desire for things that seem unattainable, contrasting with the desire for suffering by others.
You want my suffering? Why do
-U want it so bad? You think it’s hard shit?
-I want softness i want the gentleness that
Yearning for softness, gentleness, and a peaceful life.
Only you were offered i want a peaceful life
-Everything I want is fiction
Reflecting on unfulfilled desires and the unavailability of what is truly needed.
What I need does not exist
-Everything you want is right here waiting
-For you to take it
-What I need does not exist
Reiteration of the unavailability of essential needs.
