Wait

I've been keepin' track of my mind at times
Not sure if I could find you
Anymore

I've been looking for my worth inside of every word
I swear to god
I'd never say to you anymore

But I hear everything
Reverberate inside of my mind
As I look for the past life
I swore I would give to you

I told you I would change every sound of my life
But at least I took advice and learned how to lie

I do it the way I swore I'd do it from birth
Out the womb, I told you I would never try to be anything less than what I am worth

What am I worth inside the world that only cares about the paper?
Do you care that there is no part of my life in any paper?
If you try to find the value in the dollar in my eyes
Will I ever show to you
That no matter what I say or do
I always remain the same

But I saying these things knowing that truthfully I am doing everything that someone
Who wants to sell themselves for everything
Has to do

I never want to feel the poverty upon my bones again
I never want to look in the mirror and see what you see
When you see a boy grown in depression
Because that is not me
