[Chorus]
I paid all the prices, babe, it ain't fair
Said you always got my back, you ain't there
Used to be a daydream, now a nightmare
It'd be a waste to scream, I know you won't hear
Mom ain't raise a bitch, but, I still shed tears
Programmed goals at the root of my fears
They all want to say I'm ahead of my years
I don't need praise, just 'cause I can see clear, oh
[Verse 1]
Relying on dusty screens to interact
Mary Jane blurs my vision, cataracts
Whatever I give the world, can take it back
And whatever I give my girl, I don't want back
And to get what I want, had to put my soul in the grave
But, if I don't pursue it, I'll probably do the same
The same, the same, the same, the same, the same
Balance love and pain, that's just the name of the game
And I'll play it, oh, yeah, and I'll play it, oh, yeah, and I'll play it, oh, yeah
'Til I've already won
'Cause there's just nothin' else
And I'm gon' do this all by myself
And I'm gon' do this all for myself
[Verse 2]
I know it's hard to realize that you're always on decline
Such a rat race, oh, such a rat race, but it was made like that by design
Stand up, tell 'em that you done with the fake love
Tell 'em that you done pleasing everyone
Tell 'em that you're trying to be a realer one, yeah, a realer one
That's when you really won, that's when you win again
Get out of the comfort zone, tell 'em crank the pain up
Had to break the mold to scratch the paint up
I'ma let it spray like a can of aerosol
[Bridge]
Don't praise me
Don't, don't, don't thank me at all
Don't praise me
Don't, don't, don't thank me at all
[Chorus]
I paid all the prices, babe, it ain't fair
Said you always got my back, you ain't there
Used to be a daydream, now a nightmare
It'd be a waste to scream, I know you won't hear
Mom ain't raise a bitch, but, I still shed tears
Programmed goals at the root of my fears
They all want to say I'm ahead of my years
I don't need praise, just 'cause I can see clear, oh
