[Verse 1]
My heart is full of truth, my head is full of lies
My body's saying quit, my soul is saying try
So carefully a**embled my creator took the time
To put me together into this modern Frankenstein
Comprised of all my memories and future hopes
Some doobie smoke, some Hennessy, and some music notes
Gave me nightmares in a black ocean to stay afloat
Gave me these two arms forever reaching out for that rope
Added these words and the rhythm, that's my savior
Looking up at my creator, as I lay flat
Put a hand of my head and said "You can lay tracks
I'mma bless you, but I'm going to give you some things that you can't take back"
I'm full of love I'm full of rage
I'm feeling brave
I am afraid
Tell me what this is, look at what you've made
Still, I'm going to everything I can do in this flesh
There's nothing I can do but accept "Hey, I'm a beautiful mess"!
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
The truth? It's been frightening
My daddy died when I was nineteen
Never met him, something so permanent can't be undone
But just because a man didn't raise me is not a good enough excuse not to become one
Didn't have my parents, I was a ward of the state
But I swear to I knew that I was born to be great
No
I am not a victim
I am on a mission
Fight with my condition
I can still remember crying in that kitchen
But that's from something else that got me upset
And there's a lot of sh** that I ain't ready to talk about just yet
I'm saying this cause right now, I'm having trouble with that
My fear of fulfilling my potential has me doubling back
But I'm full of love I'm full of rage
I feel afraid
I'm feeling brave
I give a hug to all my pain 'Look at what you made!'
But I'mma do everything I can do in this flesh
There's nothing I can do but confess that I'm a beautiful mess!
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Hold on, lemme get my sh** together
I see you in this valley, we can walk through this together
Please, don't think I forgot about you
And been too busy fighting my battle that I haven't even thought about you
As you listening and thinking that your ship is sinking
Lost in the motion, we got tossed in the ocean
Listen. There's nothing wrong with being all f**ed up
Or falling down as long as you get back up
Your direction is lost?
Full of imperfections and flaws?
You picture prefect, I see a collage
Think about it, every hero's messed up
We are the chosen few
I must accept me as I am, the same goes for you
Where am I headed? I don't know
But I don't struggle, I don't grow
There's a purpose to this fight I feel it in my soul
And this is something I had to adree
You know the rest
Say with me, uh hah "I'm a beautiful mess"!
