Problem child, problems mine Tried to fit in all the time Even now I see the flashback, life a stage I missed the lines Don’t miss the times when my own friends pretended I didn’t exist Befriended liars, just some kids the words used defending lies Fuck em man I hope that agenda dies because It’s some nature versus nurture shit, my mother birthed a hurting of sun of gun It’s why this verse felt relevant, I’m adamant the person I was Deep inside a different version of the surface I loved, They made a brown kid dummy like my writing is shit, no shit Then Adolescence was just burning the wick Waiting for time ticking till it ties me up in its grip Workin’ a 9-5 shift like I’m done with this shit
Cause I started fires In the 3rd grade Yelling rebel nothings Thinking they was something, yeah And the pain wouldn’t slide on the birthdays Recess or the lunch breaks Couldn’t tell me nothing Still can’t tell me nothing
Still can’t tell me nothing Fuck your damn assumptions I won’t keep my cool, tell me nothing Still can’t tell me nothing I’ll just take my money To keep my cool
Modern man, modern plans, I don’t need your modern scams Even now I hear them cookin’ up to, sell my soul for a couple grand I kiss goodbye to being a punk, all I need is my laptop Freedom and feminine touch, and soon enough I’ll be sending em damage Till I say that a million won’t be enough Yeah my following ain’t big but I’m looking to buff me up, But I don’t wanna white collar fucking it up for me I’m all authentic, broke, ambitious and my car dented yeah, So I got a drive like nobody, nobody taking my cut And I don’t really do no fucking work for free So don’t count on me, so don’t count on me yeah
Cause I started fires In the 3rd grade Yelling rebel nothings Thinking they was something, yeah And the pain wouldn’t slide on the birthdays Recess or the lunch breaks Couldn’t tell me nothing Still can’t tell me nothing
Still can’t tell me nothing Fuck your damn assumptions I won’t keep my cool, tell me nothing Still can’t tell me nothing I’ll just take my money To keep my cool
To keep my cool, don’t say a word They’ll be back in a moment, when it’s your moment Just keep it cool, separate from the heard And at first you’ll be lonely, till they all hone-in Say tell me nothing, yeah
