Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones can break my bones but you could never hurt me
I felt alone but I was wrong I brought demons along
The longest journey that I'll ever have to take
And my brains the only barricade that's laying in my way

What's a king to a God
Constructing verses like I'm not
I've always been told that it's not worth doing or pursuing as a full time job
The kid looking like a mathematician or a statistician got hella waves
I just needed a reason for people to listen and needed some money to delegate
I wrote a rap 'cause I had a feeling now they all telling me to stop it
But what would I be if I left it and ran with the guilty feeling in the conscience
This rapping ain't conscious it's more like fine print and nonsense
So unconfident no accomplices still the continent pop lock and drop it

Sticks and stones can break my bones but you could never hurt me
I felt alone but I was wrong I brought demons along
The longest journey that I'll ever have to take
And my brains the only barricade that's laying in my way

Self esteem on Life Alert put it in the music now it's fireworks
Not acting like this is the avenue I'm just saying I don't like what I battle through
I guess I had to retire first to build an empire out of finer work
Along the way they're gonna laugh at you turn it out around and make sure that it's tactical
I wrote this song for those who do their best to sing along
Picture perfect awkward smiles I see myself in all
Antisocial rapper wow that's such an awkward bond
I love to fail I fail to love when they know when I'm wrong

Sticks and stones can break my bones but you could never hurt me
I felt alone but I was wrong I brought demons along
The longest journey that I'll ever have to take
And my brains the only barricade that's laying in my way

Don't say I didn't tell you
Daily reminder to never compare me to nobody
Everyday I feel like nobody
No notoriety
I'm stoned sober 'cause I want it
Can't focus 'cause I want it
Skipping studies 'cause I want it
Can't sleep but I'm exhausted
You wonder why I look haunted
Against the word of my teachers offense is my defense
I never wonder if I want it
I never wonder if I want it
The question is do I need it
If you cut me open I'd bleed it
If you want the answer go seek it
I wouldn't try it if I didn't believe it

Sticks and stones can break my bones but you could never hurt me
I felt alone but I was wrong I brought demons along
The longest journey that I'll ever have to take
And my brains the only barricade that's laying in my way
