Look
I grabbed the mic and took a chance like I'm Chancellor Bennete
I put my heart inside my hand so I could answer questions
People say I should follow my heart but, Why'd it lead me to this bad direction
Why'd put me in a world of hurt
And why'd it lead me to a place I can't find in the Milky Way or map out in the universe
Baby listen, I feel trapped underneath the dirt, praying for a way out
Bleeding in a pool of sharks hoping I get saved now
Walking over land mines, Balancing on trip wires, and hoping for some safe ground
But f*ck it, This a battlefield
All's fair in love and war and this is how it feels
You are not the love of my life
Your just another whore trying to have me killed
Trying to drown me in regret like my past with Jill
Trying to label me a fool, trying to throw me to the wolves with my hassled guilt
I think I'm losing control and I don't know which way I should go now
This world is mine for the taking but something keeps holding me down, down
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'm meant to feel lost
But baby just promise me this, remember my name when it's gone
Look
I grabbed the mic and told a story like I'm Stephen King
Because I'm written off as some kind of clown not a real being
Well if you keep it up then imma have to drag you to storm drains
Bring you to my level so they see I mean business
See I'm not kidding with this music shit
You say Ian get a grasp on your life but I'm losing grip
You say rap about the cash and some ice so you'll make it then
But I would rather f*cking die then live out a stupid lie trying ride a trend
Start dumbing down my lyrics so your friends might feel it, so you like me then
F*ck that you don't see I'm trying to carve my name in stone
Trying to write it out in bold with this tiny pen
So I don't care who's in my way or who's heart I gotta break or I might offend
Cause this dream is all I have and if you think your bout to take it better f*cking think again
I think I'm losing control and I don't know which way I should go now
This world is mine for the taking but something keeps holding me down, down
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'm meant to feel lost
But baby just promise me this, remember my name when it's gone
Look
I grabbed the mic soul searching like the ghostbusters
Cause when I look inside the mirror man I don't trust it
Cause the man that does appear is beyond flustered
So full of self doubt that is self destructive
Only cares about his clout; when his next buzz is
Never try's to plan it out only plans to plummet
Then you wonder why your down never stand for nothing
(Damn)
Maybe cause your too busy trying to brainstorm a song so it's hard to clear the fog
Snap back to reality
Work a nine to five and appreciate your job
Yeah focus on your dreams but you gotta pay your dues
But your bank is so empty and it's reading over drawn
Yeah these women are so sexy and the sex is always fun
And the bottle is so tempting and it's hard to overcome
But if you keep up with this life
Only thing you'll have to say when it's done is
I think I'm losing control and I don't know which way I should go now
This world is mine for the taking but something keeps holding me down, down
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'm meant to feel lost
But baby just promise me this, remember my name when it's gone
