Self Doubt

Your beats don't sound right
Your bars ain't that tight
You can't win this fight
You got self doubt and it's alright
You got self doubt and it's alright

Sometimes making music is such a struggle
I'm tryna build this castle in my head before it all turns to rubble
Too much time on one line got my feathers all ruffled
Cuz my boat don't float
It just sinks in the puddle, like
One second is cool, the next minute is garbage
I'm tearin' out a whole page and then I have to restart it
My mind is clouded by darkness
I'm starin' down at a target
Pressure of going the farthest, hardest part of bein' an artist
When yo people say you gifted but that just don't make a difference
When your dream is to be known
But you're too scared for them to listen
Gettin' over this problem is one hell of a bitch
Cuz these demons in my head just keep on telling me shit, like

Your beats don't sound right
Your bars ain't that tight
You can't win this fight
You got self doubt and it's alright
You got self doubt and it's alright
Yeah
Your beats don't sound right
Your bars ain't that tight
You can't win this fight
You got self doubt and it's alright
But it's never been alright
Yeah

The devil lures you in with false sense of security
Will I ever fall for it? That's exactly what worries me
Cuz it comes a bit of comfort just from givin' it up
Cuz in yo mind you always feelin' like you never enough
You try to move pass that but the feelin' is stuck
You hangin' with a bunch of dogs when you know you the runt
Not thinkin' that these people could be just like me
I'm too busy up in the yard comparing shades of the green
Lookin' at their progress, their process
Upset cuz you ain't there yet
My mind's gettin' destroyed in this contest
And getting' over this problem is one hell of a bitch
Cuz these demons in my head just keep on telling me shit, like

Your beats don't sound right
Your bars ain't that tight
You can't win this fight
You got self doubt and it's alright
You got self doubt and it's alright
Yeah
Your beats don't sound right
Your bars ain't that tight
You can't win this fight
You got self doubt and it's alright
But it's never been alright
Yeah

(Nah, nah, no, it's never been alright)
To sink in your self doubt
(No, it's never been alright)
Gotta find yo way up out
(No, it's never been alright)
To keep up that state of mind
(Nah, it's never been alright)
To ever just quit trying, man
You gotta get comfortable with being uncomfortable
And you gotta keep going for all the people that fuck with you
Cuz you already got the fire, just gotta give it the fuel
And when you stop second guessing, no telling what you gon' do

Your beats don't sound right
Your bars ain't that tight
You can't win this fight
You got self doubt and it ain't right
No, it's never been alright
Yeah
Your beats don't sound right
Your bars ain't that tight
You can't win this fight
You got self doubt and it ain't right
No, it's never been alright

Nah, it's never been alright
Nah, it's never been alright
Nah, it's never been alright
