[Hook]
So sick of putting on a happy face
Tell me it's okay to be a basket case x2
I've felt like giving up a million times
So sick of putting on a happy face
Have this feeling like I just got killed inside
Tell me it's okay to be a basket case
More money in the account, told me a million lies
Tell me everything you think I wanted from you for the millionth time
Tell me that you know it'll get better soon and everything will heal with time
I've been really struggling to deal with all these brazy thoughts that fill my mind
Tell me you're not just here to benefit from me and somehow steal my shine
[Verse 1]
Some days are harder than others to keep it going yeah
Some people hide what they thinking some people show it yeah
Ain't much that I can do about I can't control it yeah
Disloyal people keep crushing me like a soda can
Am I expecting too much? They'll never catch up with us
Use to think if I had y'all I wouldn't be stressin' so much
Is this really life or is it more like a test from up above
Stranded on a island mixing lean with depression and guns
Feeling misunderstood, why can't people relate to me more
Play me once, I won't ever see you the same way as before
Traumatized from it all, I can never escape what I saw
Sometimes I feel it, sometimes I'm numb like I tasted the raw
Gotta keep going I can't give up on my enemies when
Smile on my face but it's not easy pretending with them
Hard to understand what I go through, you ain't been where I been
In the end I hurt myself for you when I went on a limb
Never ending, feel like its never ending
Backwood cherries, burning expensive denim
Charges pending, prayin' for new beginnings
I don't fuck with neutral people either you with us or you against us
All this pain and anxiety (told you when they alleged?)
All these up and these downs theirs probably some peace in my head
Trying hard to not think about all my people that's dead
That they never coming back is a hard thing to accept
