Reptile

I ain't never been a snake
Never been the one to fake
I've been honest always down to the bone
Call myself chameleon
I'm too good at blending in
But I don't feel like anywhere I go is home
I haven't been myself in ages
Tryna put my life on pages
But these trials that I'm facing leave your boy so complacent
Unsuccessful and forgetful when it's time to lift the pencil
And my questionable mental's leaving me feeling regretful
But I'm putting all that behind me, finally
You can find me living my life, B
My wifey and my tiny helping trine RDFN me
But no matter how much Tea I drink, I don't have the Guts to claim K1NG
So Unless We Meet Again, it seems it's gonna take a team to keep my
Thoughts above the water
Don't leave me be to ponder
I'm exhausted by the possibility of all this nonsense
Let me focus on the positive
You might think that it's obvious, but it's harder than it seems
I mean my thoughts get so obscene
But let me drop it
Before it gets obnoxious
I gotta stop fearing the consequence, and just embrace it, honestly
I'm past the days where I was down on my luck
So don't think you'll find me frowning as much

I need to shed my skin
I been feeling it lately
I need to start again
I been feeling it lately
I'm just a reptile, reptile
A cold-blooded, scaly-skinned fella
I'm just a reptile, reptile
And I been feeling it lately

I've been feeling like a stranger in my own skin
I don't recognize myself in the mirror at all
I've been distancing myself from my best friends
I've been hitting red buttons when I'm getting a call
But now I'm feeling like I'm living right
I've been through a lot
I kid you not
I've been putting up a fight through day and night
Tryna get out of my thoughts
To make it stop

Now I'm feeling like I might've conquered Earth
Cause finally I can say I lost the hurt
And all the work and effort that I've traversed has all been worth it
I'm a nervous wreck no more
So now I can go forth
And bring this energy in the vicinity into infinity sans all amenities
Common sense would be once I claim it confidently
To keep it in the ether so once I'm done being the receiver
I can preach this positivity and disregard the opposite
This power of mind that I possess is me remaining the optimist
Rich reminded me of the folks I got in my corner
So of course I gotta show my love to those being supportive
I got homes who don't know me very well but they can tell
When I get lonely, I'm supposing, and they care so it's fair
For me to reciprocate
I just hope it isn't late
For me to be giving thanks
Cause I know they did the same
Let me be frank and say that all the messages and calls that I didn't take
Was one of my many mistakes, okay

I need to shed my skin
I been feeling it lately
I need to start again
I been feeling it lately
I'm just a reptile, reptile
A cold-blooded, scaly-skinned fella
I'm just a reptile, reptile
And I been feeling it lately
