It's Not Me This Time

It's like I can't do anything right Like everything I do deserves a fight Is it because I am wrong Like slow dancing to a really fast song Or is it because I try to make peace But all of our money has just been released Living check to check is the best way to struggle Since I talk to much I may need a muzzle But will shutting me up really help? Like smoking weed did to Michael Phelps I don't think I'm really the issue Just a target to aim your missile When the smoke clears what is left? Just a kid who is scared to death Maybe I don't think I will die But to say I'm not tire is just a lie And I don't want to lie about me Stop saying I'm the problem and you will see... It's not me, this time
