[Verse 1]
Walk into the room, people asking whatchu doing
I say I've been in the studio, busy with the music
I've been going crazy, yeah I think I'm gonna lose it
Say that I should sleep, don't be acting stupid
I've been working, if you haven't heard it
Then you must be deaf, where's the surgeon
Oh I killed him with a beat, I wasn't certain
We was pretty close, but he's a burden
Never stopped it with the questions
Not to mention, he said I should deal with my emotions
What a notion, I gotta learn how to love my reflection
The depression, gotta find a way to end the tension
When I'm writing, the fact I can't achieve perfection
Got me fueling up aggression, cut the section
Start dissecting, open up my brain, you and me are not the same
If you weren't with me, when I needed your help
My name, should, never leave your mouth
I don't wanna hear a sound
Monsters underneath my bed, they've been breaking out
Been spending so much time, busy underground
Been stuck inside the lines, but we've been crawling out
Used to be a joke, but we're slowly rising now
[Hook]
Funny how they think, they understand me
I don't even know, I don't even know my own self
Funny how they hate me, I'm just being real
Saying what I feel, I'm just being real
[Verse 2]
We've been through this last week, I ain't gonna get sleep
All the demons in my room, they just never let me
Why you gotta test me, you don't understand me
Only time you hit my line, is to say my flow is nasty
Man I love this, being honest, we've been real from the start
We've been on it, we're committed making art, we are poets
Keep a note of it, you should know it, since the eighth grade
We were motivated, now we're dedicated, every painting
That we painted, turning back, like yeah we made it
Waiting for the day we make it
Imagined selling tickets, laughing back at the critics
Smiling back at who left us, who never saw our vision
I made some bad decisions, I prolly will, still make em
I don't feel hurt the same, that is just for the living
I've been dead for a minute, yeah we gave hell, a visit
I didn't like the service, I left, no early notice
[Hook]
Funny how they think, they understand me
I don't even know, I don't even know my own self
Funny how they hate me, I'm just being real
Saying what I feel, I'm just being real
