Looking Inside Out

Looking inside out, I might not be so bad/
Because the world is going mad and I can't be sad/
I should really be motivated, to touch down better/
But this storm I'm trying to weather, I can't let up/
Looking inside out, I just wonder how I look/
Some people think I'm cool and don't see me as a crook/
But some do, they want to push their weight around/
So I stand my ground, they not dealing with a punk/
They dealing with a hound, I'm ride or die bound/
Turn a smile to a frown, so they try to laugh now/
If you do, you're guaranteed to cry later/
I'm a verbal assassin, as well as a regulator/
I can turn your real life into a scary movie/
I'm the light bearer, I'm the knowledge of truth/
And I can against the best like nothing to it/
When I got falsely accused, I would always ride for them/
Now, when I need a lift, nobody is riding for me/
They screaming ride or die but nobody dying for me/
Blind as can be, but I'm still trying to see/
They said no pun intended, but they punking on me/
Since I received the rock, they steady running to me/
I ran away, they chase me, trying to gun me down/
I ran a hundred miles, but still no touch downs/
I walk a lonely road, bag on my shoulders, just clothes/
On this yellow brick road, no friends, no girlfriends/
An antisocial optimist so give me the time/
There's no need to hate on me or make my life Hell/
Sometimes I feel insane, I be out of my mind/
But looking inside out, I will be just fine/
