Lyrics

I never meant to be your idol

I never intended to be your idol

I never meant to be your idol

-

Lately I been staying to myself don't wanna fall around you

Lately, I've been isolating myself, avoiding vulnerability around you

I cant have you see me at my worse I gotta ball around you

I don't want you to witness my lowest moments; I need to appear strong around you

If you see the way that I could bleed won't get no call about you

If you see the pain I'm going through, you won't receive any calls from me

Life sometimes it push me to my knees I can't stand tall around you

Life's challenges sometimes bring me down, and I struggle to stay strong around you


I never meant to be your idol

I never intended to be your idol

Never said I'm perfect was tryna get streams on Tidal

I never claimed to be perfect; I was aiming for popularity on Tidal

And I knew it would be weight when I start to carry the title

Anticipated the burden that comes with fame when carrying the title

Sometimes I'm loosing to myself it's like I became my own rival

Sometimes, I'm losing to my own struggles; I've become my own rival


I never meant to be your idol

I never intended to be your idol

I never meant to be your idol

Everyday i swear I'm fighting for perfection I ain't perfect tho

Every day, I'm striving for perfection despite knowing I'm not perfect

I fold my hands and say my prayers up to God cause I be hurting bro

I pray to God in moments of pain because I'm hurting

Stop putting these crowns upon my head cause I ain't worth your hope

Don't place high expectations on me; I'm not worth your hope

They only cheer about my highs and you ain't never Ever see the lows

People celebrate my successes, but you never see the struggles I face


I peep the snakes because I been one

I recognize deceit because I've been deceptive before

Real recognize Real but all the fakes knowing the real ones

Authenticity is acknowledged by genuine individuals, while the fake ones recognize the real

Ain't no cross upon my back I never died for you to live one

No burden for others to bear; I didn't sacrifice for your existence

That mean I'm jus only human we gone leave the same when we done

We are all human, and we'll leave this world the same way when our time is done


See God is perfect but I strive to be

God is perfect, and I aspire to be like Him

That Devil he a lie to me

The Devil deceives me with lies

I try to do the rightest things

I try to do what's right

Sometimes I do the wrong in me

But sometimes, I succumb to my flaws


And it be hurting when it's wrong in me

It hurts when I acknowledge my mistakes

I try to hide the wrong in me

I attempt to conceal my faults

I'm only human know it's flaws in me

Being human, I have imperfections

I still pray he free em all in me

I pray for redemption and freedom from my faults


Lately I been staying to myself don't wanna fall around you

Lately, I've been isolating myself, avoiding vulnerability around you (repeated)

I cant have you see me at my worse I gotta ball around you

I don't want you to witness my lowest moments; I need to appear strong around you (repeated)

If you see the way that I could bleed won't get no call about you

If you see the pain I'm going through, you won't receive any calls from me (repeated)

Life sometimes it push me to my knees I can't stand tall around you

Life's challenges sometimes bring me down, and I struggle to stay strong around you (repeated)


I never meant to be your idol

I never intended to be your idol

Never said I'm perfect was tryna get streams on Tidal

I never claimed to be perfect; I was aiming for popularity on Tidal

And I knew it would be weight when I start to carry the title

Anticipated the burden that comes with fame when carrying the title

Sometimes I'm loosing to myself it's like I became my own rival

Sometimes, I'm losing to my own struggles; I've become my own rival


I never meant to be your idol

I never intended to be your idol

I never meant to be your idol
