Seclusion

Uh, check
Secluded – I'm all alone, riding solo, nobody's included
With myself, enjoying my own company
A CEO without employees, I rule this
A student who's tryna raise his grades high
Theories, I prove 'em
I get away, distance myself from the snakes, the Judas
They stab your back when you're looking forth, you bleed like Julius
In blue ones, not even Democratic
This political rap, I need to use it
So that some people don't complain about feeling excluded
But then this rap is not for everyone
They didn't even realize that I'm rapping against my own lines
Although I'm rapping slow, they still don't understand me, though
It becomes a crisis when I do what my name says I am with flows
But let me get back to this corner, let me close them doors
I need some meditation, some quiet peace, just leave me alone
No medication, I'm not sick, just leave me alone
I wanna concentrate on me, myself, and I; don't call my phone

Please, 'cause I'm turning it off now
The slow rap, my slow jam sandwiches, I dish out
I want you to wonder what's happening to the Razor now
I really wanna see everybody who cares now
But what I realized nowadays; they don't listen what you rap
They rather hear the beat with 808s and spit a stupid verse
They rather turn up; they won't even get it if you cuss at them
That's why I listen to the slow raps alone, that's why I am

Secluded – I get you away when I realize that you've been diluted
Cause I'm concentrating, fire you one by one like these bullets
Some people don't care of their lives, playing Russian Roulette
That's why I'm tryna make this beautiful music to move 'em
This music is for the soul, instead of drugs, please you can use it
To get that same feeling you get from the substance you're abusing
But it differs cause you stay alive and keep moving
So inject this music
You're feeling pain, feeling strange and feeling everything?
You're feeling depressed, you feel alone
You feel like you should quit?
You feel like this world has left you in a dark place
Where there's no light switch
Where there's nobody to talk to and every time
You're just feeling sick?
Well, this the medication through the ears, just listen to this
You'll feel better in no time, that's one of the challenges
That's all the obstacles you're faced with in life
And what they're testing is
Whether you're strong enough, whether you'll survive in this

But what I realized nowadays people are not strong enough
They get an obstacle along the way but they're just giving up
They rather let go, they rather stay down and never getting up
Even if they were too close to reaching goals
They throw in the towel
As if somebody in the shower told them "Help me out
I wanna dry myself but I forgot it on the couch
I can't be getting out."
Depression is real, it's a bigger deal
And most of them keep it to themselves, people decide to be

Secluded, and never speak to anybody else
It hurts because they can do with some help
From people who care
This dark cloud needs to get away, we need sunshine
This track I made for anybody feeling stressed at this time
Actually, all of the time
The victims of depression, suppression, oppression
When the mind is tryna fight the tension
Most of the time you'll find me all alone, this boy be stressing
No place is safe in this world, everywhere be depressing
Children starving, civil wars, people are dying
Thinking "What am I gonna eat next?" Instead of studying
Am I gon' get the results of my tests without the money being paid
Them people never help us; they look at us funny
But let me never get back there, 'cause theses scars will never heal
What I realized – this life is a steepest hill
With height measured by the years you survived and lived
That's why the day is always what you make it be, believe me

What I realized though; they don't listen what you rap
But if they do, they rather hear you never mentioning a fact
They rather turn up; they won't even get it if you cuss at them
But nothing will ever change the way I think when I write these tracks
People see obstacles in the way but they just giving up
They rather let go they, rather stay down and never getting up
So many songs I made stating facts, but personally
I think maybe I should keep em to myself, I just rather be secluded

Some of us, we hide the pain behind the smiles we're showing off
Most of us, we find it hard to cope with a close person's loss
You don't see the tears, but I promise I'm crying all along
Tryna be a man, stand for myself, and trying hard to be strong
Even in a room full of people, sometimes, we feel alone
But I relieve myself by talking to these beats, I feel at home
Please, you other people, there's many ways, excluding overdose
On how to deal with these issues
There's people who can help you cope
I'm talking family, teachers, friends, preachers, and neighbours
'Long as you trust the person
Or maybe kneel down and say the prayers
Yeah, they can save your life
(Yo, somebody needs you, man)
Never kill yourself, no suicide
(And another thing,)
When you approach me, make sure that I know you
Cause if I don't, then I got issues
If I had a gun, I would blow you
I told you that I don't trust nobody
The more they know you, they're on you
I watch my back against the wall, it might be disloyal
I think I'm paranoid, the trust I have is noncontagious
Can't be spreading evenly everywhere, especially on strangers
Unless you know me more than 10 years
In my vocab, you don't exist like the words I don't know yet
Don't get me stressed

Like I said, man
People like to spend time in solitude, you know
Sometimes, it's not because they like it
It's because of situations, man
Sometimes, you gotta go out and find somebody
Somebody to talk to, people who will talk to you, man
Who can heal you, so you can, you don't overthink so much
And think about things which are, you know, bad
So, try to find somebody who will help you, man
Peace
