Lyrics
I'd rather be hated for the right reasons then be loved for the wrong
I prefer to be disliked for the right reasons than be loved for the wrong ones
Rather speak truth be seen conceited than to be praised by all my flaws
I'd rather express truth, even if it seems arrogant, than receive praise for my flaws
Rather be hated for who I am but gain your love through all these songs
Prefer being disliked for who I am, but earning love through my music
Rather be heard than to be just seen
Value being heard over just being visible
Rather chase dreams than this evil green; these blue faces
Choose pursuing dreams over the allure of money (evil green)
All money brings is fake friends; Harvey dents with two faces
Money brings fake friends; references Harvey Dent with dual identities
They cruise your wave, tell them no then it's rude statements
People ride your success, but reject them, and they respond with hate
Spewed hatred; mood changes if your clout grows other wise it's fuck you
Expressions of hatred and mood changes based on social influence
No fuck you too and your few favors
Rejecting others and their favors
I unlaced my boots, I'm through chasing your promises and these toxic women
Tired of pursuing unfulfilled promises and toxic relationships
I paid karma off and my consequences
Dealing with consequences after paying off karma
I ain't gained what I lost it ain't cost effective
Losses incurred aren't outweighed by gains
But I take all my wrongs and my harshest lessons
Viewing mistakes and harsh lessons as blessings
As a blessing; my bed I made all by myself and I lay in that bitch like a spa and breakfast
Creating one's own circumstances and embracing them
My god
Expression of exasperation or awe
When you spell win it's got one "I" like a Cyclops
Emphasizing individuality in the spelling of "win"
My self worth's nonnegotiable, it's price locked
Self-worth is non-negotiable and firmly established
It's so weird how I got burned and the end result I just turned cold like an ice box
Becoming emotionally cold after experiencing betrayal or hurt
Oh lord, marry, Joseph
Mentioning religious figures in response to hardship
These hateful comments might tear me open
Acknowledging negative comments and potential vulnerability
I paying homage but it's barley showing
Paying homage without receiving acknowledgment
But I made a promise to my fucking self you won't weigh me down
Making a commitment to not let external factors weigh one down
You can't weigh my down
Reinforcement of the commitment not to be weighed down, despite challenges and attempts
Cause I got too much pride
-You could tie two anchors to my feet and still my heads above the tide
-You can't drown me out
-But I know that you try
-You want my attention just to entertain your lies
-You won't weigh me down
-You won't weight me down
-You won't weigh me down, down, down
-You won't weigh me down
-You won't weight me down
-You won't weigh me down, down, down
-It's hard to cover up
-Scars that people cut
-Wounds that you would carve
-Illustrate my doubt
-Tainted all my faith
-That's the cost of love
-That's the cost of life
-That's the way I'm now
-Heartache; misery
-Made my artistry
-Helped me write the songs
-Write cathartic themes
-I don't play guitar
-I don't play the drums
-No I don't, but I'm Jimmy Hendrix to my audiences heartstrings
-Oh god
-I'm Beethoven to their emotions
-Their Edison through my dark times
-All my wounds just tell a story you can read along through my scar lines
-I know the odds are stacked against me like a hole in one in a par five
-But I'm sick of crying over eighty proof like a sad drunk or some bar fly
-So fuck love
-I'm used to hate; I'm immune to your disapproval
-I remember the days I would sit and doodle in my rhyme book
-Just wasting time until the lyrics proved you
-I was given a gift which is ironic cause now my presences moves you
-(True)
-I was told that the life you want is the sacrifice that you hate to give
-But just like Tetris I'm trying to find a place in this game that I maybe fit
-So Oh lord, marry, Joseph
-These hecklers hate might tear me open
-I'm paying my dues but it's barley showing
-But I made a promise to my fucking self you won't weigh me down, no
-You can't weigh my down
-Cause I got too much pride
-You could tie two anchors to my feet and still my heads above the tide
-You can't drown me out
-But I know that you try
-You want my attention just to entertain your lies
-You won't weigh me down
-You won't weight me down
-You won't weigh me down, down, down
-You won't weigh me down
-You won't weight me down
-You won't weigh me down, down, down
