Red Dot Lyrics

[Part I]

[Intro]
CamGotHits

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, think they gonna use me
Why did God have to choose me? Yeah, uh
That’s how I feel sometimes
Swear they all wanna lose me, yeah
Swear my life is a highlight reel
Swear my life is a movie
Red dot on my forehead
Put that all on the new me, yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm too late (Too late)
Y'all taking shit too far, uh (Takin' shit too far)
Had to drive back in a cab, out the window, uh
I was looking for a new car, uh, yeah (I was looking for a new car)
Lookin' for a new life (New life)
Lookin' out a new lens (New lens)
Lookin' for a new me (New me)
Lookin' for a new Ben, uh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Looking for a new Benz, yeah
The red dot, it kills me, the red dot, it heals me
I think I need new friends (Yeah)
Like, that ain’t the real me, swear, that ain’t the real me
I’m followin' new trends (I am)
Did whatever who said? (Who?)
The red dot, it kills me, the red dot, it heals me
Go get me a new lens, yeah

[Verse 1]
Y'all are too fake, like my mouth hurts (Haha)
But if you’re for real, then that’s way worse (True)
These days, I do not believe in the real or the fake
If that’s you, then that’s you that I found first (Yeah)
Fuck all that justification, I’m done bein' patient
Like, what the fuck? Why are you comin' and hatin' (Why?)
And telling on me, like we up in the station?
I swear they all want me stuck under the basement
I slipped into quicksand (Yeah)
Just tryna get up from the pavement, uh (True)
Fell in at thirteen (Uh huh)
Just tryna get one for the ages (I am)
I’m up on a scaffold (Huh?)
Just tryna get up on the stages (Heh)
I feel like an asshole
For tryna say, "Fuck all the cages", uh

[Chorus]
But I was too late (Yeah)
Taking shit too far, uh, yeah (Too far)
Had to drive back in a cab, out the window
I was looking for a new car, uh, yeah (I was looking for a new car)
Looking for a new life (New life)
Looking out a new lens, uh (New lens)
Looking for a new me (New me)
Looking for a new Ben, uh, yeah (New Ben, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
I keep on double-tappin', and they love the rappin'
And they love the action, and they love distractions
But we hate the comparison
Parasitic, they’re a critic, haters are my therapist (True)
Can’t connect the dots or Connect Four (Haha)
To be honest, I just wish I could connect more (Yeah)
But I can’t connect a phone to my Bluetooth
So how could I connect the youth through my YouTube?
Red dot
They playing games, like the Xbox
Price on my head, what my head cost?
Ice on my neck, what my neck cost? Oh (Ice, ice, ice)
So I gotta flex a lot
At least seven times, or the record stops (Mmm)
And if you make one mistake
They'd pull the trigger, like, I’d be better off, uh, yeah (Uh, shit)
I got too much shit I wanna get across, uh (Uh)
They don’t wanna see me get my message off, uh (No)
They don’t want that, but they want this, uh (Uh-huh)
I am not the waiter at a restaurant, huh (No)
Lot on my plate, if that’s the case
I better hit 'em with the extra sauce, uh
Everybody’s aimin' at me
But they only shoot they shot when the boy finally get a shot, uh (Yeah)

[Bridge]
Put that red dot on my head, yeah
Just take a shot and I’m dead, yeah
I can’t be talked off the ledge, uh
I might just fall off the edge, ooh
Everyday, you wanna play
I wanna make, you wanna take
I wanna give you my life
But you stalkin' it for the mistakes, yeah

[Outro]
Red dot
Camera better get that head shot (Head shot, shot, shot)
You dead wrong
If you think that I could press pause, uh (Yeah)
I’m like, "Stop!", they like, "Nah!"
They like, “Let’s watch”
Red dot
Camera aimin' at my head- pop!

[Part II]

[Intro]
Red dot
I just wanna be
One of them
One of them

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I been here so long, four months on a song
Just to throw that shit all away- been like that all along (Yeah)
'Cause the expectations rise with the numbers, but it’s still one, I’m the only one
Gets under my skin and tears my bones apart, no Napoleon
I press upload and unload, tryna' tell the story that’s untold
Getting downloads when I’m down low, tryna' keep up the household
I’m seventeen, they like, “How old? He’s washed up! He’s about old!"
"Name a single rapper he’s outsold!" (Yeah) "It’s a 'No' from me", like Cowell, uh (No)
Better say, "Cheese", better say, "Please" — "Fuck that song, man, better make these"
"You been down? Better take these:" — "Better wake up" — I’ma stay sleep
Used to wake up in a blissful existence
Now, I wake up in the morning like I’m wishing I didn’t

[Outro]
Oh
