Negative Energy

I'm tired of these people that try so damn hard
To throw me off the right track
The snakes that work so hard
To chat so much shit behind my back
I've been quiet for so long
But now it's time for me to verbally attack
I've lost the patience and the will
To sit back in silence
Watch the drama unfold and just relax
So many times I've held my peace
And not said jack
Thought that I was doing the right thing
By not charging in and saying shit
Because I knew what the consequences would bring
And the repercussions would be nothing but troubling
Everybody knows that I'm a genuine and caring human being
I always try to be optimistic
And carry a positive outlook about me
But that shit can be hard to maintain
When people take that for granted
And throw it back in my face
And I'm left with that bitter aftertaste

Too many people dragging me down
Trying to undermine me
Too many people trying to be foul
Turning my values around
They don't wanna see me win
So they knock my confidence out
And weigh my personality down
The damage is done
My courage has been turned inside out
This cold, dark energy is getting too deep
It's threatening me
This cold, dark energy is getting to me
It's got me in too steep

I don't get why there are so many
Cruel people in this world
I don't know why shit happens
To good people that don't deserve it
I know that I make mistakes and I know
That having flaws makes me sane
I know that I'm not perfect
So I'm not trying to preach
That I'm always worth it
But I know that my kindness
And compassion is used against me
Entirely for a bad purpose
Maybe I've been too weak
I've let people belittle me
They think that cus I have morals
That means they can walk all over me
I'm trying to be the best man I can be
I'm done with those taking advantage of me
You think that you know everything about me
Oh please, there's a lot to learn about me
I'm filled with this energy
Where fire and anger have set their hold on me
I'm breaking away from this youthful spirit
More aware about people's bullshit
Fuck these pathetic excuses
Need time to heal from these bruises

Too many people dragging me down
Trying to undermine me
Too many people trying to be foul
Turning my values around
They don't wanna see me win
So they knock my confidence out
And weigh my personality down
The damage is done
My courage has been turned inside out
This cold, dark energy is getting too deep
It's threatening me
This cold, dark energy is getting to me
It's got me in too steep

One day you'll be sorry
When you think about the time
That you crossed me
Don't want to forget
Don't want to forgive
The ones that have clearly wronged me
That's why I'm writing this song
To stop my mind from ignoring
These thoughts I've been storing
And keep my heart from conforming
To the hatred the world is enforcing
