​tpk - Mr. Merit lyrics

[Intro] Yeah... My story's only begun... I met a guy... And I thought he was illustrious... Check this out [Verse 1] New Years Eve, I couldn't believe I met a guy, tall as the eye can see Stubby beard, had a professional attitude You could tell that he was one cool dude See I called him Mr. Merit, because I thought he had merit And integrity, wasn't out for greed, would always get it He was famous as f**, had no use for me But he treated me as if I has an identity So we talked, and I felt like I had a purpose But I couldn't speak properly because I was nervous But I kept speaking because I couldn't quit To be alone forever, I couldn't get with it So he gave me his card, I looked very closely I found a pathway, it was the way it was suposed to be He warned me though that it'd be very costly But I was foolish and believed nothing could stop me [Chorus] His name was Mr. Merit Mr. Merit His name was Mr. Merit Mr. Merit [Verse 2] I followed the pathway, it lead me to this club When I stepped inside, I knew it wasn't a flub All the people were friendly and nice That's what I believed, I didn't even think twice I finally found my place, or so that's what I thought I believed I was that person though I'm obviously not I got the sk**s, but I ain't never support their culture If you ask the present me, I think they're vultures There was so much going on, so much to do I was thinking, boy I didn't want to be a fool So I signed up, had to wait a while to get in My heart was pacing, I couldn't want for the fun to begin When I got the letter, I knew I found my place I was honored to be, in their grace But you know the one puzzle piece, I just didn't fit Now I realize that the club ain't really legit [Chorus] His name was Mr. Merit Mr. Merit His name was Mr. Merit Mr. Merit [Verse 3] I still know these people, want to forget Everything I remember is disrespect There were no good times, all were bad And I wish I could just reach out and grab All the time I wasted, all the effort I gave They said to me "face it, you're digging your own grave" I try very hard, but apparently that's not enough Because they favor the most established bunch Still I believed in Mr. Merit, thought he was my friend But you know them, turn their backs time and again Won't even respond, have very faulty memories I'm like come on man, don't you remember me? Don't you think I would do the things that I do? Don't you think I'm too loyal to say "f** you too"? I gave my all, but apparently that wasn't alot The war I lost but at least I fought
