Take Me Home

[Verse 1]
Yeah, fuck the labels and the people tryin' to turn a profit
I'm tryin' to pop and just stay true to myself in the process
But when your pockets empty, you can turn to savage quick
I’m knowin' in my heart that I’m destined for more than this
A fortress that I've built around myself protects the feelings
I keep a picture of my idols taped onto the ceiling
Cuz I’ve got dreams but I'm still too insecure to reveal 'em
Peelin' back the layers but don't ever take the time to heal it
So I'mma jump in thе whip and drive until I'm hittin' the coast
Checkin' thе post to see who's really out here livin' the most
Givin' these folks a fake idea for what life’s supposed to be
And hopefully the ones who guard the gate will notice me
This locally famous still doesn’t mean a thing, I guess it's—
Prolly more healthy to let the way you feel define success
I’m pressing on the eject button but feelin' stuck
Eventually we all run out of luck
And that’s why I've always lived and rapped under a different name
Cuz at my core, I'm nothing special and I'm still afraid
That at the end of the day you only love the business
And you won't ever accept the human behind the image

[Chorus]
I know these feelings don't like me
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
There ain't nobody here like me
I know these feelings don't like me
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
I know nobody here likes me
Take me home

[Verse 2]
Yeah, thinkin' that maybe the shit I've been telling myself is nuts
Like, I didn't get clean to feel this fuckin' bad off drugs
And everyone goin' so fast just hoping the pain would never haunt us
You wonderin' why I'm wanting to hide and lose myself in comics?
Yeah, I'm a product of hip hop and pop punk shit
Graffiti artists, cocaine in the carpet dysfunction
Forty ounces and night spent in the skate park with
Nothin' but a couple dollars feeling broken hearted
I started rap and I started feeling inadequate
An accident who's unable to deal with his abandonment
Attacking with his feelings, in hopes that he can manage
But when life rubs you the wrong way enough, you build some callouses
So analyze this, a walking contradiction
A man who works for success but don't believe his vision
It ain't a question of the masses, I know I'll convince 'em
But will I ever convince me? I'll have to listen

[Chorus]
I know these feelings don't like me
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
There ain't nobody here like me
I know these feelings don't like me
Telling me I'm lost and better off alone
I know nobody here likes me
Take me home
