Losing traces of myself, I put my heart up on the shelf Tracing back to elementary with trace on photographs Both emotionally and physically, Id copy and wear a mask Say I did this, orthis really me, so people get attached Whether flaunting forfeit pictures or picking up personalities I traced what I appreciated, cause I didn't notice me So they would get close to me, I drew this wont you come and see Draw conclusions on how to interpret my peers Through one-sided dependency, pensively peering Way from afar to see what's normal Cause I ain't fed in cause I'm kafir apparently Talking crazy 'bout me in language I didn't understand I had no proof, but knew they'd judge me Not living up to a name, I ain't choose Those kids were ruthless in middle school What's worse is I ain't had my own worldview Or I did, but itgot sheltered by the want To fit in and be social, so I squeezed some puzzle pieces I didn't fit, looking like a Picasso Done drew me a portrait, a weirdly beautiful mess Like I was drawn to everybody, erasing flaws to connect I shadowed movements, even laugh at jokes I ain't get I felt the stares lessen once I melted into a clique But I knew deep down I couldn't keep this act up Got pressured into my first rap and regretted a song Making fun of a girl I knew to be struggling Petty drama, adding trauma To someone I now call a friend Consequences immediately struck me I ran away from school scared of what was coming But I reflected and made a vow to myself I'd never throw away my morals In spite of somebody else, something so selfish Nowadays always make my stomach ache A full 180 in behavior, I stayed in my lane In that decision though I noticed my surroundings had changed I'm surrounded by people but now their looks at me changed That was the first step to becoming who I am now But the end line of what I wanted was still leaps and bounds Cause even though I got my morals and me tightly wound I still drew my makeup acting for niggas like a clown Tracing Tracing, tracing, tracing I find myself confined within these lines Tracing, tracing, tracing Scared to come out still tracing my character Tracing Made MTG cause I know I matter to God I'm killing all my competition no matter the odds And I know you've heard me say that line a thousand times So if I told you it wasn't always that way it'd sound odd I'm parading around holding this facade Not truly know how I feel or who I am inside Imposter syndrome eating at me convincing me I'm a fraud And mentally it ain't wrong, admittedly know I robbed Characteristics from fictional niggas I admire Cause they had the privilege of confidence that I desired I'm sitting here mired in my anxiety Suppressing how I want to react Cause in reality most expressions would've been pitiless They say art mimics reality guess I was in the reverse I'm reading books bout romance and friendship somehow to reimburse My emotional immaturity towards people at first Whether happy, depressed, or angry I always played a character Then COVID happened, that's when the tone switch happened I'm trapped in a box just stuck with my thoughts just busy reenacting All the interactions I built up until I hit the question Who the f*ck am I and why am I so dependent on validation For the next few years couldn't see my peers I was stuck in incubation Started knowing myself, put the books on the shelf and finally stopped the tracing Then senior year stopped living in fear finally stopped masquerading Free to be goofy dude the real article and no more imitation, tracing And now I'm done tracing Im finna colour outside the lines Done tracing Im finna colour outside the lines Done tracing I'm colouring outside the lines Done tracing Im finna colour outside the lines Done tracing I'm colouring outside the lines Done tracing Im finna colour outside the lines Done tracing Im finnacolour outside the lines Done tracing Im finna colour outside the lines Done tracing Im finna colour outside the lines Scared to come out, still tracing my character
