Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been feeling impatient
Tired of being in a basement
Yeah, been trying to get in the game and
Time wasting, can't escape this minimum wage
Man, I hate this, the famous
Calling my name, but will I remain the same kid?
This shit is dangerous
Can't lose myself when the wealth is obtained and
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They just wanna see me fall
I can never drop the ball
They can pick out every flaw
But don't forget 'bout who you are, yeah, yeah
I won't forget that I'm the star
Shining, lighting up the dark
Yeah, aspiring to have it all
But I don't even know what I want
[Verse 2]
What do I want?
Maybe I don't want anything
Don't need your sympathy
I took my loss
Yeah, and I've handled everything
Why can't they let me be? Oh
[Verse 3]
Listen, yeah, yeah
Yeah, being white, I couldn't see it right
I would be in spite when I could read and write
Had a place to sleep at night and I was eating right
But then, I realized I got more than a decent life
I mean, there's kids who fight and lose their lives
Before they're even teens and die
With no equal rights 'cause when everybody got a piece
Making peace ain't a piece of pie
But the secrets lie underneath the lies
Read between the lines, take a peek, and find out
Having peace of mind and releasing pride is the key in life
Don't wanna step on any toes, tryna thread the needle right
'Cause you reap what you sow, so I'm far from evil, I
I'm far from perfect, but I feel the need to treat people nice
Who wouldn't even be thinking twice
If they had the chance to seize my life
And tear it into pieces for a decent price
I look back and I see sleepless nights
Yeah, money, I was fiending, I
Was running to my dreams and I was lucky that I seen the light
Most people run into the first inconvenience and don't even try
To persevere through it
I am not a teacher, I'm a student
I am not a preacher, I'm a human
Through the speakers, I influence
Fluent speaker in a language called prudence
I left it in the open like a nudist
Now I got a movement
[Verse 4]
What do I want?
Maybe I don't want anything
Don't need your sympathy
I took my loss
Yeah, and I've handled everything
Why can't they let me be? Oh
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah
