Self-Confession

Those who look up to me, ask me why I'm not famous
Only logical explanation everybody be hating
I used to hate the new artist, or dislike their position
Cause I wanted to be up there like I was the piece they was missing

But the kids say I'm dope, and the fam say I'm next
And my friends didn't think I could top what they thought was my best
So I'm wondering how, the likes of me not discovered
Like the game is nonchalant and they just shrugging they shoulders

Like I got all day, they been holding what's mine
I've been knocking for a while but I've been growing with time
It's only right when I get it, that I know how to handle
So ima own in the moment properly placed on the mantle

Some would say that I'm hating, or I'm stuck in my feelings
If I wasn't the one in denial I'd probably nod in agreeance
But ima take it a step further
Don't take my shouting as petty
I'm sick of hearing what's out here, I'm ready soon as you ready please

Please don't walk away from me I've been chasing, I've been patient
If you don't want me tell me
I can take it, but I won't take it

I'm sick of hearing what's out here, I'm ready soon as you ready

I'm standing in the street flashing, they don't recognize
A sun soon to shine once people open they eyes
Submerged in the darkness I'm here to show em the way
It's hard leading one to the light when they believing darkness is safe

Maybe I'm the reflection, I'm tryna save people from
Like they could see me for what I couldn't I'm really far from the sun
And here I thought they was covering cause I was shining too much
But really I'm the darkness that's why I Couldn't convince them to come

The first step in healing admitting what you denied
The first step in failure is when you don't even try
So here I Am naked and I'm far from afraid
Feeling vulnerable comes after you accepted all your mistakes

If you ever felt sorry, apologize to yourself
For not realizing you was running when you asked for the help
Knowing you got a problem
Your thoughts are next door to death
If miserly in love with her company I found myself at the steps
Please

Please don't walk away from me I've been chasing, I've been patient
If you don't want me tell me
I can take it, but I won't take it

From a birds eye view, a bird in plain sight
You wouldn't think it was able to fly until it takes flight
Isn't that all of us, until we're given the chance
We all have a little fight in us when we have a reason to stand

When you're surrounded by doubt, you find yourself in the mix
Like how I start out my number one
Now fight for who I'm against
It's crazy how it all works, being negative natural
Competition instill like putting bodies under the gravel

What's a clown in a circus, when he's not in his disguise
Only a regular person what's special about his smile
If he dreamed to be big, more than once in a while
Shouldn't he stand up performing right now in front of the crowd?

So he stands and performs, and people started to cheer
They called him onto the stage as one of their new volunteers
When you think there's no way, a flood can come from the rain
I found myself behind the clown thinking of doing the same

Point of the story... become the shine you always contemplated
Even if you gotta look like a clown doing so

Follow me... Follow me
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Nah where the chorus at?

Please don't walk away from me I've been chasing, I've been patient
If you don't want me tell me
I can take it, but I won't take it
