Expectations

I get nervous
I get scared
I'm not perfect
I could use help
I get so overwhelmed
I can't make up my mind sometimes
I feel broken
I tell lies

And this world makes you feel like you're out of time
These expectations are burnin' my mind
So let's make some reckless mistakes
'Cause we'll learn what it did one day
So let's break, let's break away
Expectations

I don't think my mother knows how hard I try to be the perfect son
It's not like I'm in the streets runnin' around shooting bullets from a loaded gun
And I think not having a father in my life played a role in my mental
And I hope my little brothers don't have to endure what I went through
I don't wanna play football, I wanna sing
Everyone's watching you, what will they say?
Don't care about labels, Ima be me
And soon you will see that this is my dream

And this world makes you feel like you're out of time
And these expectations are burnin' my mind
And it's crazy that your kids will ruin their lives
And I'm praying that God will finally show me the way
I don't think I've ever tried this hard
To try to be who you want me to be
I don't think I've had to do it this much
These expectations
I don't think I've ever tried this hard
To try to see how you want me to see
Ima change, ima change for me
These expectations
