​This is serious cuz it's suppose to be The way you look at me Makes it want to scream inside And shout, "this is what it's all about" I'm just a boat in a drought and I... Can't believe what I said Thoughts are clouding my head Feeling lazy in bed Stitching needles in threads Incredible; the way I saw you But that's the past and this a snapshot Of how it wasn't us two It's amazing I never thought Good reasons, I never caught You're sweet and I'm sour sauce Now rapping on stupid songs But I thought it was a cool idea, so... Woke up but it's never the same And I hate that I just have you in my brain Over dramatic cuz I say it's a pain And I feel like the rain, gonna catch a cold Gonna feel alone Gotta man up and just do as I'm told Gotta move on, out with the old, in with the new If only you knew... That I'm breaking One look at you and I am shaking Don't think of it like I am faking Oh god, I'm over explaining Let's just say it: I fucked up I chose wrong, and a few times before I was gone. I guess it's just guilt.

​ Used to say I hate me, but shit, now I really mean it Used to always smile, but tell me, when's the last time that you've seen it? I'm the meanest, piss of like a penis Bitch, you know where the D is Psych, I'm the dude with the respect. Yup. (Yup) Self-doubt is the enemy Like you care and it's plain to see No contacts, you're not friends with me I'm not even friends with me Jealousy and a Blue Moon Fake as fuck, I'm a cartoon If there's more to this life, don't write back, I'll be dead soon. (Shit) Messed up in the head though Full of shit, I need Pepto And I expect hoes to go slow, but that's only when they give head though Ugh, why the fuck did I say that? Just another thing I would take back So I'll fuck that like the ass crack of the life I made, can't go back. Truth is I like me, but these vampires can bite me I'm doppelgänger so I can fight me So fuck you, despite me All I want is a soft bed because I'm so alone and exhausted And I'm sleepless and empty, so I'll do my best to play dead.

​Never broke a bone but I believe I've got a fractured heart This is art, it's suffering Can't load it up cuz it's buffering That video Don't give a fuck like Hideo The only time I do is when I'm tripping balls It's like gay sex in the city tho Stupid hoe, but I'm not much better Soft touch like I got 5 feathers Got a letter today from my self-esteem All in caps, it said, "IN YOUR DREAMS" I promise I'm honest Turn the switch on cuz I'm off this Put me in the ground and then bury it like a coffin Back again with my bullshit Can't get the girls cuz my toothpick My cool whip is useless, leave the audience just clueless "Omg, was he just talking about his penis? Wtf what a fucking perv..." Oh I'm sorry... Take it back to the cool rap Where yo crew at? With two traps Playing lumberjack, chopping wood flat Then they drink it all like it was sap Put it up on Snapchat Cum stains on their snap backs Eating cheeks like they're flapjacks Smoking cocks like it's lit fags Get it? I don't think that they get it.. Don't think that I'm finished Still got about a minute Starting to feel like a criminAL Don't think that I'm in contrAL Downing drinks til I hit the flOW All the shit that I said beFAOW Loser (uh) weirdo (uh) Feel bad (uh) drink more (uh) Feel good (uh) drink more (uh) Work hard (uh) feet sore (uh) And it's a joke to me the way they choose to be I told you once, I don't have friends, I just have enemies! And I like it! cause I make shit so I can fight it Just try it and maybe then you'll see I'm not as crazy as I claim to be don't try to start shit with me cause I'm on the edge of under 60 feet Earthworm Jim chilling out with his fucked up grin and it's like One step back, turn around make the whole screen black it's just me with a bottle of jack can't forget of the times we had no matter how it makes me sad no matter how it makes me mad it's just the times that we had that makes me want to go back

​Uh, uh, uh, uh Blast off, I'm the neutron I give one thing to two moms And we form together like Voltron But when they come through, I'm like hold on I got work soon, so it'll have to wait Creative thoughts, but it'll have to wait I'll pay you back whenever I get paid But I overslept, so I guess I'm late. Fall back to sleepville I am so sick that I need pills And I'm lame as fuck like I need thrills But my heart is numb like it got chills Depression parties like it's mad real Faded out just like a film reel Gotta tell someone but it's no use So I stay silent like I got hills Daydreams become nightmares But in them nightmares, I'm not scared Because it seems fair that I live there And I'm feeling feels but who really cares? Not me, not you Not them because I like you Except nothing happened because I fucked up - And I'm fucked up because I drink a lot Didn't tell you though because I think a lot Of what you're gonna say, please look away I'm not the same that I was those days Where we talked a lot and did things together Like my mind's clear but it's not much better You're a sweater and I'm cold, and it's sad, I can't let it go One day I'll wake up I'll see you and say hi. You'll say hi back, Quick smile and that's that. I'm sorry that I'm like this And I wish that I wasn't Sometimes I dream of making you laugh

Better get that water cuz you know this shit is fire woo Better get that bottle cuz you know this shit is fire woo Better call yo mama cuz you know this shit is fire woo Better leave your house because now that shit's on fire woo Always fresh, I'm swaggin out Bitch, don't let the kraken out That's the name I gave my dick So take it and just shut your mouth Paper cuts from countin paper Wish that I could make it safer If she bad, you know I'll take her Butt got flavor Nothing but heels, we both got the deal This shit is bananas cuz that's how it feels Never forgetting that I am so real Play of the game cuz I got the kill Like Pokémon, got gold and silver Snapchat and I hope she deliver Drink it all like I have no liver You say I'm a quitter, but now I'm a winner -chorus- Lambo, got rips on my shirts like I'm Rambo Don't fuck with you cuz your a damn hoe You're a sample and I'm the beat You want the best, just call for me Feeling hype cuz my energy is 20 feet And you Better bow down cuz I am your deity Monster, got fangs that can eat you Got eyes that can see through Got bitches for days, and it's only just week two I'm kidding, none of it's true

​One, two, three, four, let me find a bottle more It's useless like a nuisance that I even try to stride for more I'm on the floor, wishing somehow you'd come through the door Like a ghost or an apparition See? You're all I'm missing. Why why why why do I try to lock eyes It's just no sur-prise That I'm not your guy Can't cry or even shed a tear Blanking out like I'm not here Full of beer, but ain't got no life tho It's black and white, like my name is Michael Can't forget you even if time goes Even if I try to Four, three, two, one, popping shit like I'm a loaded gun Giving out myself like I'm Oprah's son And I'm fun as fuck but you just don't know it Like an itch that's in my brain, Mood change like it's gonna rain Full of pain, there he goes again Laying tracks down like he fucking trains So insane, and a bit depressed, shit... No more feeling like I can't live with you No more thinking that I did it to myself But why do I try to avoid you, it's just to Help me visualize that I did this to myself and...
