Real Talk

I feel so alone Even when people are around But I still keep it moving Like I’m coming off the rebound And the world is taking shots at me For years, even the people that I’ve known So can you blame me for the change? That’s why I depend on my own It’s the world verse one man So I got to play zone And this ain’t The Book of Eli But I sense what’s going on The weather is so hot But the world is so cold Forget all the pressure This man will never fold And yes umm, I know there’s a lot to say I’ve been homeless before I won’t let anybody put me back in that place I’m going to feed mine Even if I got to take it from your plate What you going to do about it? You can say it to my freaking face You can say I am a disgrace Cause I heard it my whole life I take your rights and say they’re wrong Turn my wrongs and make them right And if you have a problem You can bring them to the light You fake people are camouflage to the dark As a predator you stay in my sights And I’m happy if you’re offended Cause that’s the way I have to be I’m sorry you won’t make it to the top Cause I refuse to accept defeat I’m so high I can’t even be reached So call me a star cause that’s the view When you are looking at my feet And I can keep going Going on more pages But the fact of the matter is That you can never ever change this And watch how you stare yall Go ahead and change your faces Cause this is not Face Off But I can leave you all faceless
