My first song uploaded here!
It's a personal essay of sorts, describing (loosely) the idea of self-proclaimed power and how fickle it is, a comment on my "prowess" in social life (and it's probably my best song to date lol)
lyrics
LYRICS:
I'm like rocky with the boxing gloves
Stack up your funds like a million bucks
Amen, they say you only live once
Cos most times the sequel sucks
Just fiending, looking for love
But it's still cool just to dream man because
Inside my heads telling me evil thoughts
While i'm searching the sea of evil thoughts
I'm like rocky with the boxing gloves
Stack up your funds like a million bucks
Amen, they say you only live once
Cos most times the sequel sucks
Just fiending, looking for love
But it's still cool just to dream man because
Inside my heads telling me evil thoughts
While I'm searching the sea of evil thoughts
I just want recognition
While my blood's thinning
Trying a new recipe,
Holy water I'm sipping
I ain't dripping,
Unless it's tears
Wipe that shoulder chip
With the heart on my sleeve
What the hell
Am i doing here?
I'm a pawn,
She's the puppeteer
I just had to ask
Tell me if it's real
How i feel
Cos you're unreal
I'm like rocky with the boxing gloves
Stack up your funds like a million bucks
Amen, they say you only live once
Cos most times the sequel sucks
Just fiending, looking for love
But it's still cool just to dream man because
Inside my heads telling me evil thoughts
While i'm searching the sea of evil thoughts
Give me awards, and let the crowd applaud
Say the word, imma give you what you want
No game, like real heart real talk
Broken genius, a work of art
Anxiety, anxiety tripping over reality
I'm sitting on this couch, wrist bloody
Anxiety, anxiety sat silently
As they finally see the irony
I just want appreciation
For my creation
This flow sucks
Need some variation
I want my efforts thought of,
Shot through the heart with a sawed off, ready for takeoff
Imma need two mics just to get my point across, no applause
What the hell
Did i do?
I don't have a clue, am I the issue?
Maybe I lack the fortitude to try to court you,
Cos i adore you, but i can't self love, my love,
It's tough but you're cute enough to not bluff
I'm like rocky with the boxing gloves
Stack up your funds like a million bucks
Amen, they say you only live once
Cos most times the sequel sucks
Just fiending, looking for love
But it's still cool just to dream man because
Inside my heads telling me evil thoughts
While I'm searching the sea of evil thoughts
I'm like rocky with the boxing gloves
Stack up your funds like a million bucks
Amen, they say you only live once
Cos most times the sequel sucks
Just fiending, looking for love
But it's still cool just to dream man because
Inside my heads telling me evil thoughts
While I'm searching the sea of evil thoughts
Yeah genre switchup
Like my mood swings, feeling crushed
But i dont care, feel good until it all suck again
Yeah genre switchup
Like my mood swings, feeling crushed
But i dont care, feel good until it all suck again
Yeah genre switchup
Yeah genre switchup
Yeah genre switchup
Yeah genre switchup
Yeah genre switchup
Yeah genre switchup
You like rocky with the boxing gloves
But you're not strong enough
To make me feel I am enough
Best stop, everyone got their own problems
Like Rocky, but i got my own weakness
I'm left on read, left her speechless
Left for dead, now I feel less
Gotta calm down, deep breaths
I'm like rocky with the boxing gloves
This groin guard better be large enough
All the fighting has been causing us
To wonder whether we got enough
Feel paranoid, are they watching us
I don't wanna die on this bus
But what they did prompted us
To fight back, i hope God forgives us
Cause I'm aware of what conflict does
Wondering what content will buzz
See I'm breathing for a purpose
To keep running from those who are murderous
Cross country doing me favours
I recommend you run from the haters
Not worth a grain of salt with their potatoes
You feel it from your head to your toes
With the rhymes and raps, i do the most
Took me a while just to write those lines,
Perfectionist, metaphysics are the limit of this relentless bitch
After reciting the anecdote, had my therapist off
Put on her coat, diminished , why?
Tightened the rope, continue to cough
Forgot how to escape, time for improv
