When I was young and growing up
I was never happy
The only time I'm happy's
When I'm rapping on a sad beat
I know, it's kind of ironic
My flow, as hot as the sauna
My flow, as sharp as katanas
Open my heart, to be honest
I wrote this song, to acknowledge
My soul is broken and tarnished
I'm predisposed, to the darkness
I lose control, I'm an artist
I've got emotional problems
I hope I grow, from the traumas
Well, if I don't, then I promise
I'll put this gun to my temple
Like this shit is suicide
Motherfucker, this is do or die
You think I'm meant for a suit and tie?
This shit's like a noose, I'ma pull it tight
'Til my skin's blue, and then I lose my life
Or I fail in music, and you're proven right
Take the bullshit, and move aside
It's abuse of the cruelest kind
I been scrutinized
Yeah, I'm used to that
Why the fuck, you think I'm doin' rap?
I could lie, and you'd assume it's fact
Have you listened to my newest track?
Nah, you probably knew it's trash
(But it is though)
Nah, I'm hella gifted
I'ma win though
For a little bit
I was in limbo
Makin' trash records
I'm the shit, though
I had a premonition
I'd be blowin' up
Like I'ma demolition
I was born a loser
I'm the definition
But I always knew
That I'd get recognition
For my records spinning
If I quit this
Then I'd get a second wind
Just like a dead magician
If you never listened
You should get proficient
Yeah, I bodied this shit
Like the head was missin'
I could never give this up
By myself
I like it better, when I'm by myself
By myself
I like it better, when I'm by myself
I like it, when I'm alone
When I was young
And when I grew up
I saw the world, for what it really was
When I was young
When I grew up
I saw the world, for what it really was
When I was young
I was full of optimistic dreams
I wanted to be a rapper
I thought, who else but me?
But when I started
Everybody, they just laughed at me
I never, ever had a team
But now I laugh
'Cause, I'm the one who's doin' things, that I like
Motherfucker, I'm blowin' up when I write
Motherfuckers used to laugh at me, when I tried
Motherfuckers used to tell me, I should go die, I
Kept my head up, I got better
I got big, and now ya' glad ya' met me
Now, you wanna be my buddy, and kick it
But I can't, I gotta go across the country and
Film some videos
With some artists
Maybe sell out
Mad Square Garden
There is no limit to how I'll be livin'
And if you're doubtin', I won't beg your pardon
I'll say, "Fuck you!", for doubting me
I got here all on my own
I am the only person, I need proud of me
Because of that, there's not a
Single person, who's stoppin' me
That's how I feel
I don't need no fuckin' record deal
I don't need no fuckin' engineer
I've done it all
I don't need no fuckin' outside help
People think they know me so well
Circle is smaller, I cut fakes out
It's just me, now
I do better, when I'm by myself
So, I'm always
By myself
I like it better, when I'm by myself
By myself
I like it better, when I'm by myself
I like it when I'm alone
When I was young
And when I grew up
I saw the world, for what it really was
When I was young
When I grew up
I saw the world, for what it really was
By myself
I like it better, when I'm by myself
By myself
I like it better, when I'm by myself
I like it when I'm alone
