Poor Me

I didn't come to destroy all your dreams, but you did for me
You get away with saying these things, making a scene
You remain unaffected. I remain calm and collected. Reasoning out of the question
When I come back with the mic in my hand, don't tell me back off. It's built up tension
I don't got a deep voice in the rap game
High voice. Fingers to my head. Click. Bang
Short kid. People aren't afraid to come at me
And when they do, they're picking on the easy things
Got to admit, they don't make it easy
Hurting my feelings
Act like they own me
Don't like what I'm doing? then leave. It's Kody
Me. Just me being me. Don't care for your opinion. No
I'm not somebody that you wanna test. I'll write about you again and again
Cuz when you're out talking shit with all your friends
It burns in my brain. Stays in my head. Yeah
Call me a snowflake because I want change
Don't get why my life always drives you insane
I'm living this way, and this way I will stay
Boo-hoo, weird ass, faggot, freak. You don't deserve these rights
I'll take you down and then I'll watch you bleed
Are you kidding me
Those are things I've actually been told
Bothered by me when there's a ton of worse things that need fixing in this world

I understand that there is
worse things that could happen
in this life, and I'm lucky to live the way that I am
Been this way since fourteen
Not gonna change, sorry
Society will never see, it's too extreme, poor me
My story's haunted
Ghosts roam this mansion
Not even a priest, approaches with ease
That's as personal's it gets
There's things that I know... that you don't
Poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me
Poor me. Poor me. Poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me
Poor me. Poor me. Poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me

Are you dumb? Look around. This is not a court date
So smart. Throwing so-called facts in my face
The voice is a weapon and you're taking aim
Pointed straight at my head, but it ricochets
Ever met somebody like me
Mad about the noose that's tied to the tree
Gonna act so blind to my history
And though you're at fault, you put the blame on me
If you like facts, then why you assuming
Don't act like you ain't even full of excuses
Don't look like you know that the motions are moving
Don't tell me I'm weak cuz I put out this music
I rap in the game about truth to be told
I won't be surprised if you start getting cold
You make me look bad as you put on a show
I write down my thoughts and someday they'll be known
"This doesn't bug me" is what I can't say
These are clearly my thoughts just all over a page
But if you lived the way I did everyday
You would want this release, and get better with age
It's obvious that I have passion for this
I don't care if it goes against your religion
I don't care if you're left or right, or between it
Just stop all these acts of discrimination

I understand that there is
worse things that could happen
in this life, and I'm lucky to live the way that I am
It should be known. We're human
Poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me
Poor me. poor me. Poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me
Poor me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me
Poor me. Poor me. Poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me
Poor me. Poor me. Poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me
