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.
