Middle

Grew up livin' in the middle
Middle of my mind
Middle of my street
Middle of the corner that we used to meet at

I thought that this would be my whole life
I'm stuck with what i've got
And i'll have what is given to me

Thankfully I realized
With my eyes all I see is
One percent of what's in front of me yeah

Maybe if I
Smoke this weed and I light this joint
Happiness will come looking for me

Very soon I had to understand
That the only happiness has got to come from me

Oh I used to be so lost
In my own fucking thoughts
Until I realized my thoughts aren't me

I am infinite
I am everything
I am the one I see in you

I am not my clothes
I am not my hair
I am not the colour of my underwear

I look around and all I see
are so many people pretending to be
A person they no longer recognize

We livin' our lives tryna chase a paper bill
So maybe one day we can buy the person we'd rather be
And we grow up watching all of this TV
Thinking this is how life is supposed to be

I've got to be somebody else
And put myself up on a shelf
For everyone to pick up but me

Promise me you're gonna tell yourself
I love me and I don't need nobody else
No! No! No!

No I don't need nobody else

I am everything that I will ever need
So who am I?
So who am I?

I am anything I want
I am anything I want to be

No I ain't in the middle no no,
I am free
