Dolpho

Dear Future manager I already don't trust you
You don't need to tell me I have a lot of issues
Everyone's screwed me over for my money, time, and faith
I don't trust anyone now trying to compete in this race
All these well trained sociopaths loving on my craft
Ready cuz we gotta get going down this little path
With money in their eyes and some greed in their heart
Just egging me on to simply play my part
You want me to shut my mouth and do as you say
Promising me power, women, and occasional getting paid
At what costs, you don't know what I've seen
You reply with "trust me man, we're a team let's scheme"
"We will reach your goals and strive for greatness"
But I've been there before and your passion is tasteless
You don't care about me or how I'm really feeling
You just want to keep me functional, I'm your money making machine
You want to keep me stupid, so I'll play dumb
Drugged up and confused, I'm comfortably numb
So I feel lost for time and then look to you for faith
On the hairpin of dropping me for one simple mistake
You brainwash and manipulate to get what you want
My knowledge is my weapon and this is how I flaunt
To separate me from the masses so I can really stand out
Do you really understand now what I'm talking about
After all these failed projects and wasted time
I've finally gathered up what's left of my crooked mind
You'll never control me or persuade me slightly
Dear future manger preeze approach me politely

And then proceed with caution
I'm feeling the aftermath of emotional exhaustion
All my friends teamed up on me and stabbed me in the back
Ever since then its been chronic panic attacks
I understand my mind and I'm medicated now
I want this project to work and I can show you how
But you'll have to bring something new to this lovely table
So you can add your addition to this bold fable
Why would I have you if you do nothing but leach
Sorry for prejudging but I have a lot of beef
With people like you who lie and steal
I've already made this public for all the mass appeal
If you would understand my talents and everything I can do
You would understand why all these girls want to call me their boo
They see the potential and profits as I build this name
Honestly dreading the day it comes packaged with fame
I want to be found and I want to be heard
But only by people that will help me here full term
Not here for one season and then gone the next
Just itching to get their hands on the next paycheck
Just hear me out this is the last of what I want to say
When times get tough I'm all work and no play
I've been abused, and by the best sometimes at start
All I really want to do is tell you my heart
