An existential song about nothing working out well, musically, financially and emotionally, with William talking about working in “shit jobs” for 6 years. He wishes he could be a pop star for the fame and success, and it would stop him from being so self destructive, and make him free, which is a co...
[Intro]
And I, I know it
I know it
[Verse 1]
Why ain't you comin up with your own shit?
You always gotta be someone else’s
I don’t think you know who you are
I don’t even know who you are
Shoulda kept your head down
Shoulda kept your mouth shut
Ain’t nobody tryna hear you
Don’t nobody wanna be you
Stupid motherfucker
I just wanna be a pop star
I just wanna be a pop star
I just want that pop money
I wanna look at myself and say I got money
Maybe then I’ll hate myself less
I been working shit jobs for like 6 years
Things ain't been the same since my pops died
I think I’m running out of time here
I just want it all to be alright
And I know
I know
[Verse 2]
Knock, knock
Yo, Willy boy is anyone at home?
I mean upstairs, you good?
Do you feel alone?
I think you probably should
You stupid piece of shit
Do you know that everybody can tell that you’re faking it?
Keep your day job if you had your wits about it
Your music ain't it , I don't know why you bitch about it
Talkin' on Twitter like it's all gonna make you rich
But thats a one-in-a-million and your odds one-eighty-six
People don't succeed when they look like you do
The devil don't even want you, what’d you pay for that voodoo?
If I was you I'd never look in the mirror
But I heard you should look into the eyes of the people you fear, so
[Hook]
When I die I hope I die in my sleep, whatever
If heavens real, Imma live in my dreams, forever
When I die I hope I die in my sleep, whatever
If heavens real, Imma live in my dreams, forever
[Refrain]
And I, I know it
I know it
[Outro]
I been working shit jobs for like 6 years
Things ain't been the same since my pops died
I think I’m running out of time here
I just want it all to be alright
And I know
I know
