Lyrics

I'm feel like the repercussions of failed life,

I feel the consequences of a failed life.

I look at this room and get scared like it's airtight,

The room intimidates me, creating a sense of confinement.

Like I been walkin' on the stairs and it's a long flight,

Life feels like a challenging and endless journey.

So if I fall then I'm prepared for it to take my life,

Prepared for the possibility that failure could lead to my demise.

And I ain't lookin' back, I never wanted to,

No turning back, determined to move forward.

All I ever really wanted was somethin' to do,

Desire for purpose and meaningful activities.

I never meant for my thoughts to be my only truth,

Unintentionally, my thoughts have become my reality.

I never meant for my lyrics to be what all I do,

My lyrics have become a dominant aspect of my life.

But it is what it is so I'ma follow through,

Accepting the reality and following through.

I feel like I'm the one to blame but I'm mad at you,

Feeling responsible but also harboring resentment.

Failed relationships led me to my solitude,

Failed relationships have led to isolation.

So all I really got left is to talk to you,

Left with only the option to communicate through music.

So I'ma keep it personal in each and every line,

Expressing personal emotions in every line.

Like you're my best friend, fan and my bloodline,

Addressing the audience as a friend, fan, and family.

At least I'm honest I ain't even really got shit else,

Honesty remains when there is nothing else.


I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

Repetition of being locked inside the lab for solace.

I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

-

I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

-

All I wanted was success so I learned to love,

Yearning for success and learning to embrace it.

I found it weighing down my chest so I turned it up,

Success becomes burdensome and overwhelming.

Consolidated all my anger and I wrote it up,

Channeling anger into therapeutic expression.

I swear it's therapeutic sharing what's been buildin' up,

Sharing built-up emotions through music.

But still I sit alone, in a four corner room with a microphone,

Isolation in a room with a microphone.

And though it matters I don't care if no ones listenin'

Indifference to whether anyone is listening.

More issues than the magazines then I'm listed in,

Dealing with more issues than media coverage.

And ya I'm focused on the future but I'm livin' now,

Focusing on the future while living in the present.

And right now I got a whole lot to figure out,

Challenges and uncertainties to be addressed.

Like who the fucks bringin' me up and who's bringin' me down,

Identifying influences, positive and negative.

I swear to God it's like a race and it's wearin me out,

Life feels like a competitive and exhausting race.

I swear I'm runnin' by the Devil and he's starin' me down,

Confrontation with inner demons and challenges.

Like here I'll give you the crown the price is sellin' out,

Offering success to those willing to compromise values.

I'm like damn do I even really want the wealth,

Ambivalence towards the desire for wealth.


I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

Repetition of being locked inside the lab for solace.

I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

-

I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

-

I feel like every line has to have some intellect,

Emphasizing the importance of intellectual content.

Education is a major way to get respect,

Education as a path to gaining respect.

Dummin' it down makes more people think they're fuckin' less,

Rejecting the idea of dumbing down for acceptance.

I'm here to tell 'em that we are all fuckin' blessed,

Asserting that everyone is blessed despite challenges.

But still we're blind, conditioned by society to fail at the same time,

Commenting on societal blindness and conditioning.

(fail at the same time)

-

(fail at the same time)

-

(fail at the same time)

-

(fail at the same time)

-

But I ain't stoppin' I facilitate the inner hope,

Facilitating inner hope through impactful writing.

By writing tight and makin' sure that I'ma spit it dope,

Determined to deliver powerful and meaningful content.

So every time they fuckin' hear me they're gonna be like whoa,

Anticipating awe and recognition from the audience.

And if they start to pay attention they'll begin to know,

Hoping to enlighten those who pay attention.

That I ain't playin' this is far from a fuckin' joke,

Serious commitment to the craft, not a mere joke.

I swear to God I really got hella room to grow,

Acknowledging room for personal and artistic growth.

And I'da been a fuckin' doctor if I wanted wealth,

Rejecting a conventional path for the pursuit of wealth.


I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

Repetition of being locked inside the lab for solace.

I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

-

I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

-

I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,

-

I guess I'm locked inside the lab 'cause maybe that shit helps,
