[E]
[E] [Em] Click, click, click, they'll do anything to get a few
Tick, tick, tick, that's the sound before my head explodes
Quick, quick, quick, look at you up on your [B] pedestals
Quick, quick, quick, hear the critics come, it's time to go
I read [Em] your article, it kinda hurt me I don't know who hired you or what your
friends say in your circle But the fact that you released it tells me
two things are for certain They get paid for trashing people, I get
paid cause I stay working Drop the search, you may emerge up out of
nowhere to the surface Just a peek behind the curtain, throwing
salt at all my burdens I'm aware I shouldn't give this my attention
Life's a journey, I [B] should just stay on my path and learn to laugh
You think they heard me?
[Em] Ears are burning, put em out Quiet, quiet, look around
Why don't they find someone way more interesting to write about?
Us, we're kinda boring, aren't we?
All we do is whine and pout [B] It's confusing, so [E] amusing how I argue with myself Hello
I spit it with ease, you'll leave it [Em] to me
You doubt it but you gotta believe I'm on a rampage, hit em with a fucking release
I've been in a week, I'm probably gonna have to achieve
Another ball in me, go when I'm over the beat Now going to be small like I'm [B] ready to feast
I'm fed up with these thieves tryna get me to bleed
They wanna see me taking out, [Em] yup, see what I mean?
How many records you gotta give you to get with the program?
Take it for granted, I'm bout to give you the whole plan
Open your mind up and take a look at the blueprint
Debate if you got it but gotta hold it with both hands
Check out the bars, you gotta be smart You really gotta dig in the heart if you wanna
get to the root [B] of it And this your pussy when the mental baby don't
give me difficulty But the pain of the [E] end of thinking I'll
be the get through it, ayy!
Take my dose, made it through, whoo, [Em] whoo, whoo
Spread the notes, I'm on the lows, whoo, whoo, whoo
Making moves, I need some room, whoo, whoo, whoo
Always cold, with [B] Donald's song, Donald's [Em] song
Ayy, I'm the truth, all they want's some profit
Don't be rude, something new, [B] even when I lose
[Em] I make it look cool, through the show, then we hit the room
Life is [B] looking old, what to do?
I don't need the shade, something like the view
It's [E] time to get back in the swing of things
When my life crashes, I'm not the guy that'll flee the scene
[F#] I'll take ownership and own it and raise my hand if it's me
Just remember though, I'm only a man, I'm a human being
[Em] Don't they see, shoot the breeze?
I'd rather just stay discreet People claim they're in your corner, but leave
you in times of need They don't listen, do they?
What?
They don't listen to anything [B] I'll accept advice if it's not presented
ignorantly
Look, [E] the scars are highly multiplied, they cost a vice, I'm forced to fight
The [Em] poison I've been sipping on is [E] quite the bite
They kill me twice, they bring the light to y'all
Conceive the [Em] parts of mine that aren't your right
See, often I [E] apologize and authorize the [B] awful times to pop up
Like I'm right behind you, I'd advise you not to try [Em] to climb inside the mine
Like I do, keep the rhyme book expedited, open-eyed and hold it tight
And hope that time is on my side, [E] cause if it's not, then I'll decide to override [C] my
own demise I told the lines [E] close and I could improvise
I'd empathize [E] but recognize the fact that I could jeopardize [B] and record lies
You better give me your attention and you're under my dose
[Em] Made it through, spread the nose I'm on a loose, making moves
I need some room, [B] always cold, we're doing [Em] this song, doing this song
Made my dose, made it through, spread the nose I'm on a loose, making moves
I need some [E] room, [B] always cold, we're doing this song, doing this [E] song
