Complex Life

I got no home and nowhere to go
I got no home and nowhere to go

Miss the days when I had nothing to spend
A couple dollars to my name was enough
I remember driving cars was pretend
But now I've had like 23 to myself
And don't think that I want it to end
I'm so grateful for this world that I'm in
Trust me, you don't even know who I am
You think I have it all but I'm, I'm all alone, yeah
Where did my friends all go?
Used to be so close now you're on your own
No, you did it on purpose
Pushed them out, didn't think you were worth it
Always more hidden under the surface

I'm so stressed
When the hell did life get so complex?
I write these words so I won't forget
How I used to feel
Cause nothing's feeling real

Okay back in the 9th
I had to hide my true self
But now there's nothing to hide
You only liked my disguise, uh
You had a black boy wish he was white
My hair won't go down, maybe my curls are too tight, nah
Now I think that I'm beautiful
Damn man, why the hell you let those words get to you?
Maybe it's cause you'd put your arm to mine and say that you're almost blacker
Tell me I'm not real and I'm more so like an actor
I know that's not your intentions but that really made me mad, yeah
My last straw was what your grandma said
Tell me where you're from
I said here, she had to ask again just in case she wasn't clear
Funny thing is you seem to not have a clue
My family's been here for more generations than you
Couldn't take the abuse
Reparations past due
Made me feel like I'm back in 1892 (nowhere to go)

I'm so stressed
When the hell did life get so complex?
I write these words so I won't forget
How I used to feel
Cause nothing's feeling real (nowhere to go)

I got no home and nowhere to go
I got no home and nowhere to go
