To Be Verified

To be verified To be verified Just let me clarify That i have to lose to gain Endure the world’s greatest pain Rejection Just to be accepted Left in the shadows with the rest I always claimed i was blessed Instead my life has turned into one huge mess Pain I’ve been seen as lame Since the beginning i’ve been the same I guess my breakthrough never came To be verified Let me clarify That i need 100k Just to feel okay Everyone says the greatest feeling in the world Is fame Then why do i feel so drained What have i really gained Who can i blame Me I allowed myself to drown in this emotional Sea Lost in an void i can’t escape To be verified Let me clarify I have to change to begin to Blend A lot of people say n***as aint You already know But where does that leave me I just want to be Free To be verified Let me clarify I must lie just so my feed won’t be Dry Lost looking through someone else’s Eyes To be verified Let me clarify First i must be tossed aside In my pain i’m forced to reside Im Blind. To be verified?
