Letdown
Be the best
First they say you're good, then they say you're bad
Make you mad
Set your standards high, pressure make you cry
Tell me why
I'm not good enough, never good enough
I'll improve
But there is no point, I'll never approve of myself
And my efforts and ambition have no meaning by itself
It is validated by awards and trophies on a shelf
Stress is rising and demoralizing me everyday
Not respected for any of all the hard work that I gave
It won't validate, it won't have no weight
Your parents and friends evaluate you what your value made
Yeah I'll double up on my work ethic cause I want gratification now
Wanna be rewarded now
I ain't got no patience nobody got patience now
They just wanna see the merits
But they say they accept you for who you are they swear it and I hear it
But it goes over my head because the world is full of parrots
Besides, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
If I worked three jobs, had straight A's
Graduated with distinctions and obtained a PhD
If I had ten Grammys, sold out shows
Would I finally be impressive or just still a letdown
Feeling all this pressure I just wanna be an artist
Trying to be creative with my work I try my hardest
You and N8 should start producing albums we've been waiting
Coming fresh off Clemency with him it was amazing
I've been caught up in some shit I'm done with all the drama
I just wanna make them proud my baby and my mama
Had some things to take care in my life so turn the book page
This is for the fans and we are coming for the showcase
Always do your best, put yourself to the test
If you lack the motivation look at me and now you're blessed
Keep it up don't second guess, you will rise above the rest
You're a shining star with virtue and you're ready to impress
Never let yourself go down, never let yourself be drowned
By this overwhelming pressure and this hatred from those clowns
It will all just come around, I'll keep working for the crown
Because, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a letdown
If I worked three jobs, had straight A's
Graduated with distinctions and obtained a PhD
If I had ten Grammys, sold out shows
Would I finally be impressive or just still a letdown
First they say you're good, then they say you're bad
