[Verse 1]
Some days, I lay in bed, just terrified to get out
I worry that I am not good enough to sing my songs out loud
And I think about getting verified and gathering some clout
But I don’t think that I will ever be free of this kind of doubt
I know music is all I ever wanted to do for myself
But the boat is out on that river, and the whiskey’s on the shelf
I know I’ll never lose this sliver of my fragile mental health
And I know that my hands still shiver but I hope you cannot tell
I’m writing songs about equations not thinking about the wealth
They say we started from the basemеnt but I live up on the twelfth
Thеy say stop worrying but others you should worry ‘bout yourself
I’ll prolly never lose this sliver of my fragile mental health, what’s up?
[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
I write mad verses everyday but still worry ‘bout what I’m saying
I got thousands of hits on Spotify still worry if I am slaying
I sing real highly of myself but in my head I’m only playing
I get scared before posting like I’m facing Manny at the weigh-in, hah
If music is what I’m building this the groundwork that I’m laying
If you sing something I’m feelin’ you can bet I’ll be here swaying
I hope that I will be happy before my hair starts to gray and
I often think about goin’ but I also think ‘bout staying
I am still searching for a way into a world
Where I feel curled around its finger, I don’t linger for long
I just go cruisin’
Yeah it was confusing till I clarified
But some days I’m terrified
