Independent

[Intro]:
Yeah
I guess it’s just how it’s going to have to go then

This music
I can’t stop doing it
For some reason
I think it’s stress or something
But everytime I stop trying to rap
It doesn’t work

I’m hoping one day it stops
But I’m happy for it
Because I’m Mindset
And I’m Independent
Yeah

[Verse One]:
If people got a issue
Why don’t they deal with it?!

Everyone asking me questions
I’m sick of it!

Everyone keeps on talking about me
Like they know me
But I’m sick of it

Yeah
Here are the issues I’ve been dealing with
Ever since I was a kid

Everyone keeps on asking questions
But I can’t answer them, guys

Really?
You should not be asking me questions
You should be giving me statements!

Everyone keeps on talking to me
Like they know me
But they really don’t

I’m just tryna’ make it
I’m just trying to make this music I love

You got a issue, why don’t you deal with it?

People keep telling me
Yeah
“You got a issue for your tissue?”

And people keep talking to me
Like they know me

People keep stalking me
It’s kind of weird

Because I look around
And there’s people just around me

Trying to talk to me, like
“David, you hear something?”
Like NO. I really don’t
Cause’ I don’t listen

I don’t care, if you talk about me guys
Just keep my name out of
Your mouth
When your talking disrespect

Keep my name out of your mouth
When your looking at me
And your talking bad

Just stop talking!
You know what? That’s all!

Cause’ I got a issue
I don’t deal with it
Cause’ I’m killing it
Cause’ I’m above them all!

[PreChorus]:
Like I’m the person, that I was though
Look at me in the mirror though

Talk about, my song though
Sit here
With the lights off

[Chorus]:
Cause’ I’m Independent
Kill though
Never really got it all there
Sit there, cause’ I’m ready for it
But if you got a issue
Why don’t you deal with it?
Yeah

People keep asking me questions
I can’t answer them now
I can’t answer them now
People keep looking at me
In the mirror
And asking me
How I feel
And I’m like
Wow

Yeah
This is something hard to respond to
This is something hard to believe in

If I got a issue
Once I talk about it
But I got it
I never lock out

[Verse Two]:
First of all
I ain’t here

Yeah
I keep on recording this music
Ever since I was eight

Now people looking at me
Like I’m here

Yeah
Ever since I was in Port Huron
I was sitting there
In my room
With the pen and paper
And a notebook
Trying to write these lyrics here!

I remember when I wrote my first song
I was pretty good, I got it, I’m not-
No

The words are gone
They disappeared
Off the page now

Now I can’t even find the notebook
I think I burned it
In the Fire now!

Now I just need to find a way
To rewrite these lyrics
Done and now-

But I find the recording and now
And now I’m starting to find out who I was

Now
I was a different little kid

Yeah
I was not like every other little ordinary little kid
Sitting outside
Playing with games

I was usually inside eating
Writing lyrics
Or trying to produce a song!
And this is my life!

This is the people I’ve been living with
This is the issue I’ve been dealing with
I’ve been just trying to love these people
But I’m killing it
You never heard of it!

Yeah
You got a issue
Then why don’t you deal with it?
People keep on asking me questions
I’m sick of it!

Sit in my room with the lights off
And I keep on getting it!

[PreChorus]:
I am not repetitive
Everybody sits there
Looks at me
In the mirror though

Looks at me
Talks about me though
If you got a issue
Why don’t you deal with it though?

People keep looking at me
People keep looking at me
People keep looking at me for issues
But I’ve got nothing to deal for God
Yeah

[Chorus]:
Cause’ I sit there
And I’m Independent!

Ready for it
I look at people
And I’m killing for it!

Everybody’s asking questions
Guys
Awaken is
Cause’ I’m getting for it

Everybody gots a issue
Why don’t they deal with it
(Woo!)

What, they want the mumble?
Now you can hear me better?
Thanks!
That’s a good issue
Though

[Verse Three]:
Yeah
I didn’t really have a good childhood
I kind of hated it

Everybody was asking me questions
About my family
But I don’t wanna answer them!

Yeah
Cause’ I’m not the kind of person
Who had a good childhood
Yeah

I was kind of bounced back
Between my mom and dad
You know how it goes

And really though
With divorced parents
It’s kind of hard!

Cause’ people asking questions
About’ the bars
And people just want to know why
Like why it happened

I don’t really know
Honestly
I feel like it happened
When I wasn’t born
Or something

Cause’ I never really knew the history about it
And I don’t really know why it happened!
And I don’t really care for it
You know?

Because if I keep on asking questions
I’m gonna find out
Something that I don’t want to know!

And it kind of scares me
Cause’ I bet you something happened that I don’t really want to know

Or something that I need
To have to know!

Or something about me
That I cannot answer!
And first of all
I feel different though!

I look in the mirror
And see myself
I’m not the same though!

I look as different
Now as I did a year ago!
Everyone keeps talking about me
Like NO MATERIAL!

They keep on saying that
“That kid can’t rap!”
“But he really can!”
You got a issue?

Then deal with it
Yeah

[Outro]:
It’s been different
I look in the mirror
And see someone different

My names David
But I laugh at the opinion
That everyone’s talking about me differently

I keep thinking about my crush now
I ain’t never gonna get her
Wow!

That’s a good place
Lookie now!

If everybody see I’m talking now?
But I got it going
And I look at it

I feel different
Look at myself
And I feel like I’m different

Look at the black hoodie
And the white hat
Though

I’m gonna have to replace them
Someday
With a better hoodie
And a better hat
With a better person
With a SnapBack

If you would look at me
That’s a flashback!

Keep on looking!

Cause’ I’m Independent!
