Good Guy Goes Off
Guess who's back?, back again
No it's not Eminem, I stole his pen
No that's not a diss so please don't ask again
I've been quiet for a while but I can no longer hold it in
I lost my mind, because they told me I wasn't supposed to win
But I kept my heart, soul and faith
When I give my food for thought you couldn't even hold my plate
Don't expect warmth from me if you weren't there for me on my coldest days
I let her go because I refuse to have someone try to control my ways
They say there's plenty more fish in the sea, and I plan to have a boat full
I went from hopeless to hopeful
I remember being told my fake smile wasn't enough to hide the pain inside of my eyes
So I had to open up and put my pride to the side
about all of the nights that I cried
I'd been staring Depression in the face for so long
And it was giving me the fight of my life
Victory isn't yet mine, but I have my eyes on the prize
I'm far from Shakespeare and I'm nowhere near great at poetry
But I survived my own thoughts of wanting to die, so I can survive anything life throws at me
I'm sick of hearing about the Kardashians
all of your favourite award shows are a lie
I found that out when I wasn't nominated for sexiest man alive
I'm just joking, but people will call me cocky and take that line serious
I sometimes like to make a few jokes while going through my current experience
I've been surrounded by clowns so of course I'm going for the jugular
Every line will feel like Mike Tyson's punching ya
You're talking to someone who uses being doubted as his comforter
I won't lie I was ready to be her new man
But I knew we had no future when she said she doesn't listen to Bone Thugs N Harmony
And she's never heard of Wu Tang
I'm just getting it all off my chest, so right now I don't mind how you judge my artistry
I wasn't just coming swinging, I came to knock walls down
This is what happens when the good guy goes off and he spills it all out
