Never Get It

[Intro]
Locked behind these lips, a monster you'll never see
The pad his domain, pen his weaponry
I try to keep him chill with raps about jewelry
The only way to hide my fear is to rap as a cooler me

[Verse]
Uh, they prefer me introspective, wonder where the intellect went
Ignorance is bliss, they see me blissfully dismiss suggestions
They could never get it, dropped the pen and never pinned the message
Rapping 'bout the games, it was a game until I switched directions
Cause I'm a proven poet, Durag was the alias, but Mir is what I choose to go with
Look, I start with writing 'bout my feelings, then I lose the focus
Wavy nigga drowning in despair, so I can't cruise the ocean
Life vest, I refuse to open
It's hard to find the words to express the way I'm feeling
It's hard to find emotions to connect the words I'm filled with
It's hard to crack the sealing, when you pressed against the ceiling
It's hard to deal with all the cards that life is dealing
And since I left my best friend, I've been feeling desperate
Now I feel toxic every time I send a message
She was my obsession, never learned my lesson
Spouting out my answers 'fore I ever heard a question
How can she be bad for me? She made me feel good inside
Honestly, I couldn't lie, crying 'till I couldn't cry
Niggas eyeing me, but I can't see them, shit just wouldn't dry
Emotions made me weaker, irony, them shits just wouldn't die
That shit wasn't working out, I had to get it back in shape
Seeing nightmares happen in real life, it was my saddest day
Hammy said it's time to move too stagnant on an average day
Art the only avenue I actually still have today
If I don't bring it up in bars, it's baggage that's been packed away
I'm struggling to grab it through the madness, I'm a scatterbrain
Writing just to scrap it and re-rap just filled my trash today
I meant my tracks today, my talent is my tragedy
My words are my power
With no purpose I'm stuck, feeling powerless
It was probably pursuing this pussy
Put me in the Loop, can't get out of it
Durag was too emotional, I made that boy retire
I thought Mir could handle all of the fire
Thought the mastermind would build his empire
But if all these songs the same, are these verses uninspired? That's why
They prefer me introspective, wonder where the intellect went
Ignorance is bliss, they see me blissfully dismiss suggestions, but they could never get it

[Outro]
Different roles every week
It's hard to remember who you are
A mask used to mask all of my new scars
But they could never get it
