Been missing days before stressing about my rent Where my friends and I would just vent They would smoke a bowl and play pretend We never had a clue of worries outside of schooling and boolin’ Making movies and dodging daily duties, so truly Shoutout to Westlake, cause he’d always keep me in frame And on my darkest nights he’d listen to every complaint Struggled to fit in, always felt different But it’s kinda hard when I look through a lens with cracks that tend to split my vision Spent my youth a little mute back of the bus My headphones in to block out bullies Cause the target on my back was enough I was too scared to try to talk a crush Cause by law of social status Chances of getting dates were slim to bust But one day I found my voice when I picked up a pen Been on a journey since, and I won’t stop till Madison I barely sleep, but it’s my friends and fans that helped me take the leap I cut my teeth on what I learned from Vegas streets And honestly it breaks my heart to see Kids get tangled up in the violence While we keep cutting out arts and promoting social tyrants Who claim that my generation’s the one that’s fucked cause they’re too busy with budget cuts steady pointing blame and sparking buzz It’s pathetic, stealing ideas and taking all the credit Bet I could do better than half the shitheads running senate Not a politician, but neither’s our president who somehow weasled his way to Commander in chief to Armageddon These thoughts are heavy but writings my remedy Keeping me steady to people I come across who try to weigh me down Day in and out, Wonder how I push through the doubts because I’ve made it this far and I kinda like the route I’m blazing now I’ve got something that people want and I won’t play along And Envy’s heavier than the chains wrapped around their palm Show some respect, or place your bets when the game will rip me apart One day I’ll be puffing cigars with all the stars Tell me why I can’t justify What’s hard to find I’m so terrified Cause, sunrise I’m outta mine, I’m outta mine, Walking thin lines pushing through the hard times Outta sight I’m outta my mind, outta my mind Outta mind, till the day I Grew up on cartoons, saturdays were my favorite morning And by sunday, kneeling at an alter and giving glory It took till I was in high school, to build a life before me Cause I got so caught up in fantasies, writing all these stories Got to college and felt the little stings of the things that independence brings Cause when you’re skatin by, you play for keeps Cause life is short and I can’t stress it enough I think too much about the chance of people calling my bluff Next thing you know I fall too deep into myself And everybody thinks taking these meds will help When it just makes it worse and turns to hell then Ends with me wearing a suit and tie under mountains of dirt Or worse I’m hopped on Prozac doubting my worth (F*ck) Think that’s too dark Let’s change the subject Tell me why it’s so hard to think that we were made for something Something much bigger than sleeping and drinking Feeding our demons, lying and keeping Our feelings wrapped in a box How'd we got so conceited So now I gotta be careful with what I say Cause these people get so sensitive bout their image every single day Then go on twitter Cursing and fighting, fueling the hate And digging peoples graves while throwing all these pity parades This world is full of snakes that lurk down in the grass I’m sick of them bragging bout their streams when bots are all they have Why can’t we get along And take some blame when we’re at fault Please tell me I can’t be the only one with all these thoughts So here I go again Tryna wrap my head around The things that keep me up at night While others try to shut it out Almost 21 But I get nervous not knowing which way I’m going So I just fake it pushing back all the debt I’m owing Steady hoping and praying I can live to see the day That I have kids and watch them graduate Get that education paid So here I go again Right down the rabbit hole Waiting for the moment music will start to be appreciated Tell me why I can’t justify What’s hard to find I’m so terrified Cause, sunrise I’m outta mine, I’m outta mine Walking thin lines pushing through the hard times Outta sight I’m outta my mind, outta my mind Outta mind, till the day I (Till the day I) (Till the day I) (Till the day I)
