Standoff

I don't understand these
Feelings I be on
I don't understand
Stand off in my brain, man
Familiar places where I
Don't feel I belong
Don't feel like I'm enough
Got some diamonds in a rough (Yuh, hm)

Diamonds in a ruff
I feel like I'm tuff
Hand down man down
Don't need a hand out
Looking for a way out
Searching for memories
Of the old times
But man I can't remember
Falling apart just like September
Only thing keeping me sane
Is being stuck in the past
Then I realized good things never last
That's why I must be a good guy
Wish I blessed, Monday was a mess
Mind full of stress
Yeah, mind full of stress
I know you see my smile
But hold your applause
I do not deserve it
I am a fraud
I preach good vibes
While others are hurting, all this praise
I do not deserve it

I don't understand these
Feelings I be on
I don't understand
Stand off in my brain, man
Familiar places where I
Don't feel I belong
Don't feel like I'm enough
Got some diamonds in a rough
I don't understand these
Feelings I be on
I don't understand
Stand off in my brain, man
Familiar places where I
Don't feel I belong
Don't feel like I'm enough (Ok)
Got some diamonds in a rough (Ok)

Hold up hold up, wait a minute
Am I still sane or am I being pushed
To the damn limit, mind still spinning
I'm black, that's a given
Perception is reality
Had to hop off my high horse
And find something to die for
Looking around like why god
Who am I?
What do I got
Beside the pressure of pythons
And the gravity of thoughts?
How can I defy odds and define opps
So I write till the night time when the lights off
Sleep tight like a Cyclops
My fashion is extraordinary
Because I like my Jeans gray
Don't get it twisted
We ain't playing Bop-it
This flow is so dirty
I may need to mop it
They say time flies
Well who is the pilot?
Crashing landing so soon
But I cannot stop it (Ooo)

I don't understand these
Feelings I be on (Feelings I be on)
I don't understand
Stand off in my brain, man (No whoa)
Familiar places where I (Oo whoa)
Don't feel I belong (Oo whoa)
Don't feel like I'm enough
Got some diamonds in a rough

I don't understand these
Feelings I be on
(Feelings I be on) I don't understand
(I don't understand at all) Stand off in my brain, man
Familiar places where I don't feel I belong
(Don't feel I belong) Don't feel like I'm enough
(I don't know what's going on) Got some diamonds in a rough
