Underachiever

[Intro]
Argh, urgh
EMP motherfucker, EMP motherfucker (The underachiever could see it-)
‘Cause I’ll tell ya how I’s feelin’ (What the fuck is that?)
Uh
Uh (The underachiever could see it-)

[Verse 1]
Let me tell ya how I’s feelin’ (How I’s feelin’)
When the shit done hit the ceilin’ (The ceilin’)
What I put up on this record (This record)
Have you lookin’ at me different (At me different)
Delinquent with a vision (With a vision)
He could have it all from spittin’
Now just to convince the world (Convince the world)
Galilеo’s inquisition (Inquisition)

[Hook 1]
‘Cause I pull up in the uh, uh, what the fuck is that?
Look, I could lеave her down bad with no succotash
How could you sacrifice the art for the fuckin’ cash? (How?)
They ain’t never see ya drive they wait for you to crash (Skrrrt)
Pull up in the uh, uh, leave ‘em looking mad (Mad)
Look, I could leave her down bad, make her want me back
How you gon’ keep on living life through ya camera flash?
They ain’t expect me to excel made they computers crash

[Verse 2]
The underachiever could see it happen with my grades (Yeah)
Ain’t even trying mane, they give me all the appraise
Invited me back like I’s welcome, like I ain’t a disgrace (For real)
Like I wasn’t off my face like Nicolas Cage everyday (Haha)
They ain’t even try to help me, seeing I wouldn’t change (Nah)
And I ain’t bring attention to it anyway, can’t complain
My mates are more concerned ‘cause they know I don’t vocalise pain (I don’t)
Unless it through my music, lately though I ain’t dropped a thing, but (Thang)
Empathy been at it, I won’t ever stop rapping bro (Never)
Recording like an addict with these tracks as my habit, though
I’m slippin’ down backwards into madness of perfect flows (Aye)
If it hurtin’, repurpose it into verses ‘til curtains close
Uh, look (Aye)
When I confront you I mean it
Ain’t one to front for no reason (Nah)
Internal rhymes that I’m schemin’
Still ain’t got me in my feelings (Never)
I’d rather burn back a tree while
I feed my soul to my demons

[Interlude]
Drug users do not fit within any comfortable grouping
They are young, as well as old
They are disadvantaged, but often, affluent

[Hook 2]
Pull up in the uh, uh, what the fuck is that? (What?)
Look, I could leave her down bad with no succotash (No succotash)
How could you sacrifice the art for the fuckin cash? (How man?)
For the fuckin’ cash for the fuckin’ cash (Wait for you to crash)
Pull up in the uh, uh, leave ‘em looking mad (Yeah)
Look, I could leave her down bad make her want me back
How you gon keep on living life through ya camera flash? (How motherfucker?)
They ain’t expect me to excel made they computers crash (Crash)
They ain’t expect me to excel made they computers fuckin’ crash (The underachiev-)

[Verse 3]
Uh uh, EMP, uh (Aye)
Motherfucker don’t rub me wrong, like a bitch who ain’t (Don’t)
Never give a fuckin’ handjob before, I could leave you severed
Bleeding from ya orifice, love the gore, imma keep it steppin’
Kendrick when he tap dances, hit the floor and won’t be no damage (None)
Slangin’ to shawtys, my ex was snitchin’, she jealous (Jealous bitch)
She told her mother about it, she told my mother, I’m finished
Now my stepfather calling, told me to “drop it and dash
Coppers waiting for me, better flush whatever is stashed”
They ain’t catch me slippin’ though, thought the drugs fried my brain (How?)
Like I ain’t know how to be on the downlow when I’m blazing? Please
Junkies always find a way, and the hustlers slang (That’s true)
I’m in between I guess, went Malcolm in the middle to play with them (Playin’)
Uh, I’m a druggie an underachiever, nobody (Nobody)
Uh, but just watch how he work these words, when I get money (Cash)
I bet they won’t be as concerned
Like you brush me off when I was Tryna tell you I’m hurting (Sly cunt)
But now I ain’t follow the path you want you ask me my purpose?
Criticise me and crucify me, said “fuck the consensus”, this’ll learn em (Fuck ‘em)
The underachiever, act like you ain’t never heard of him motherfucker
Babe, pick up your fucking phone

[Outro]
You mentioned just now that this project grew to have an overarching concept
Tell us what message you were tryna convey here with underachiever
Well that’s the whole reason I started this shit
That feeling of being alone and empty, no- nobody should have to deal with that
People always talk about these support networks but-
But no one wants to give you the tools to actually build this meaningful relationships
Where you can actually talk to people and-
*coughs* excuse me, um
That- that’s always been who- who I am and- and what I want my brand to represent
That, like, that you aren’t alone
I think it’s especially hard for young people now
Um, ‘cause- ‘cause they can’t find a direction
You’re always told you need to know exactly what you’re doing from the get go
10 year plan, wife, kids, mortgage, grave, all that shit
But if- if we’re actually being realistic there’s so many options and different directions now
How are you supposed to know what you’re doing with your life until you live it?
And who the fuck are you to tell me how to do so?
