Truth On Paper

I can stay faithful in a room full of hoes

and I can stay high in this room full of lows

but she want to get wifed by a dude with a ring 

so she can't stay faithful in a room full of kings

I let my mind soar just to keep myself grounded

because I know I stand alone even when i sit surrounded

I see my biggest issue and its hard to surmount it

see emotionally I'm broke but my accountant's steady counting 

I'm only 20 so I don't need to sip youths fountain

but I guess since I've found it I can sell you a few ounces

once I put the velvet rope up and hire a few bouncers

to see it close up you'll need a better voucher 

because my head says to trust but my heart still doubts you

and now that everything is coming out

they all wonder why I never come around

because when I told them i was gunna do it

thats what they all used to laughed about

now they want to gas me up to late for that guys

my engine is self sufficient sorry...nice try 

because I don't need millions just a little old school impala money

but its hard to stack up when every time I see a dime they're asking for a dollar from me

and its funny how I went 

from weird to special to different

and now all of a sudden it seems like I'm worth a second listen

or maybe just another person of interest?
