[Chorus]
They thought I was innocent because I was limited
And it took a minute, but know if it didn't they'd know what the difference is
They look at me like I'm somebody villainous, I want to be more than only resilient
They don't believe it, that's why they're oblivious, they look at me like I'm one in a million
I stayed ahead as I rose, I keep my empathy low
Got so much from her back when I was younger, they used to treat me like a ghost
That's the decision I chose, bottled the rage and it shows
They couldn't stand me, don't have a family, I keep my enemies close
[Verse 1]
Rarely collecting my thoughts, I usually mess up a lot
For better or worse, it might be a curse, I feel like I'm destined for loss
They don't wanna say I'm the best that they've got, all this aggression was taught
There's nothing I'm left with, so I get it, I'll finish the rest of them off
And they can't predict me, such a pity
Thought we were a team, but you were never with me
They would not agree, but I think death is pretty
That's just what they teach you in the Undercity
No one would console her
No matter how hard I would try, I just never get older
And it's almost like I hear a voice on my shoulders
I say when it's over
Mentally, physically, I've gotten bolder
It isn't fair, how they've stolen my closure
Now that I've sunk, they've been sinking lower
Been acting colder
Got no exposure to love and affection, now look where it drove her
Think of me less, I won't hold my composure
Not many friends, I keep enemies closer
[Chorus]
They thought I was innocent because I was limited
And it took a minute, but know if it didn't they'd know what the difference is
They look at me like I'm somebody villainous, I want to be more than only resilient
They don't believe it, that's why they're oblivious, they look at me like I'm one in a million
I stayed ahead as I rose, I keep my empathy low
Got so much from her back when I was younger, they used to treat me like a ghost
That's the decision I chose, bottled the rage and it shows
They couldn't stand me, don't have a family, I keep my enemies close
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna miss my shot, you're the reason I'm as awful as this
Never had a lot, not like you did for others, I'd cut them off and it's bliss
Tell me you noticed the devil is killing the people you love for the hell of it
Even if they were irrelevant, couldn't control or develop it, my mental's always been delicate
I'm giving all when there isn't much left of me
I've been so stuck in my head and it's endless
We've been losing luck up in my jealousy
And all for what? No fucks for my enemies
It's who I tend to be, I'm my own remedy
Turned myself into the greatest I'll ever be
You'll think twice before you ever think less of me
Better play nice, if not you'll be dead to me
True, yeah, been stuck in my head for a minute, that's all because you
After so many years I just never knew what I should do
And I know as of lately I really have nothing to lose
Yeah, but I guess it was true
[Chorus]
They thought I was innocent because I was limited
And it took a minute, but know if it didn't they'd know what the difference is
They look at me like I'm somebody villainous, I want to be more than only resilient
They don't believe it, that's why they're oblivious, they look at me like I'm one in a million
I stayed ahead as I rose, I keep my empathy low
Got so much from her back when I was younger, they used to treat me like a ghost
That's the decision I chose, bottled the rage and it shows
They couldn't stand me, don't have a family, I keep my enemies close
