[Verse 1]
I could've written about pain on a monochrome sad picture
Distress and depressive blogs
Sounds like a good admixture
I know for a fact your diagnosis on your mental health
Is based on stuff you read on the net
Nothing but conjectures
Remember when the walls started closing in
The room became darker
The rules changed, you gain weight
On your shoulder, forget your waist
Forget your self-diminishing ways
Confidence isn't selfish
And if I'm mistaken then I'd
Highly recommend it
Check the tag, rip it off if it's got less
Than more than enough zeroes to make you feel blessed
If happiness's what you strive for
Then shut the light, open the door
And say it, I won't want to be sad anymore
Doesn't get simpler than that
Someone tries to bring you down
Just look back and say I'm way too real for that
If you told yourself so many times you're not worth it
And believed it, then do just that, just say the opposite
[Hook]
One time for me, two time for you
Learn your lesson, come back at what haunts you
Turn the tables, feed life what it fed you
If where you started from is right where it always lead you
[Verse 2]
Do you ever sit in your room?
Yes I'm talking to you
Feeling some type of way and
Acting like it's all cool
You've been marinating inside your head so much
You could sweat seasoning
Acting stupid and taking the laughs
As a compensation
The truth is it the only reason
I need you to take action
Is when I say this I talk to the mirror
Like when I was anxious
You can blame this on society
For teaching us to love each other
But not enough cla**es on self-appreciation
It only made sense when I had the world to go against
To get ahead of it and self diss me before it has a chance
But now I realize the world has no concern with my existence
Criticism I thought I got was just misinterpretation
Go outside, run in the park and breathe for half an hour
You know what they say about strong minds, balance is power
Modesty isn't weakness, confidence still isn't selfish
Damn I sure wish my 12 year old self could hear me say this
[Hook]
