Verse 1 People dont connect with me Cuz these songs are my healing In each verse Im expressing my sentiments How can you understand what I mean when you dont know me? In addition to this Im not your average teen I dont party, I dont smoke, I dont drink If a couple hits can make me elite Then you better hope I loiter in straight edge society Im the monkey in the middle being bullied Im going towards red rover but Im not coming over I dont give in to peer pressure Cuz if I did Id write about getting drunk or passing joints to evanesce my uncharted thoughts Maybe Im not as special as I think I receive multiple KOs but I forgo to leave the ring The consideration of giving up isnt something I believe Modifying who I am will vitiate my dignity Can you empathize when you despise the body in which you were given? The only reason to be ambitious is so you dont fall into the abysses Wishing the positions could be shifted A picture is worth a thousand words but the bags under my eyes say a million Slap on a filter and see the perception of yourself alter Having no desire to communicate cuz nobody can decipher your roars Chorus2x Theres not many people like me Im unique and Ill tell myself that til the day I see Somebody who has the same fingerprints Im a leopard and I cant change my skin Verse 2 Im just like everyone These scars, stretch marks and blemishes dont make up my natural image Perfection is a privilege Since when was reviewing your reflection the day you see a repugnant presence? Digits on the scale make you put your tail between your legs Each step you take has an imprint of your DNA Every lonely road was once enclosed by you Every person who evacuated suddenly enters Your face is your best defense mechanism Your smile is the symbolism of the realism I recognize the oppression in your eyes You ceded too quick You continue construing the cracks that you cant interpret The problem isnt you Its internal These lurid torments wont be eternal but suss you have to kill the clam to get the pearl Youre beautiful but when someone tells you otherwise You will never know how painful it is The rejections compile and you break down into a pool of self loathing Holding onto the only piece of hope And thats yourself In moments when you cant hold your own you decide to pull the sword from the stone For aspiration People gander at you like an animal Well Youre a majestic leopard Cant change your skin but you can accept it Verse 3 People ignore the concrete details They drive into your skull with their drills I want to invoke all the things you wanna evoke Revoke them till you provoke and say the words Dont atone for being overly overt Be glad that part of your life is over The covert words roll off the tongue You no longer have to bite it Deject everyone whos a sadist Return to the healthy shape and drain the hatred The drain is clogged from the reuptake The complications cant be corresponded The pain became second nature Youve become unresponsive Negativity tolerance is nonexistent Evil forms from their cores and awaits its target to emotionally murder Its laborious to get back onto shore when someone is grabbing you from under I need a counselor to construct my life Make me see the light in the night To evince love without the spite To tell me that Ill be alright To notify me the time for fight or flight To sincerely say they love me regardless of the way I look This world would be a preferred intention if we treated everyone with respect and didnt mention imperfections to feel powerful So whether or not you want to believe it People are conceited That explains why the boomerang stabs them in back with multitude Cant escape the magnitude of attitude Its always surrounding you In public, in school, at work Even When you look into the mirror Wishing what you see would disappear Like a ghost whispering secretes When the image is crystal clear you pin point ways to point out what doesnt appear Knowin youre an emotional wreck It doesnt help that your life is a mess But that part of your life is over with That bliss that was lost when you were a kid Is back in your life again Outro It doesnt matter how much adipose we have The freckles, the pimples, the black heads, the color of our skin Its okay to be different Be you Dont be what people define to be as normal People will look to slaughter your mindset but its your job to be better then them We dont know whats going on in their lives For all we know what they could be saying could be lies They just want to be whimsical and recapture their faded ego that is pointless They want to destroy us because they think theyre an impeccable creature Pain has a cure but its very difficult to obtain Arrogance will never go away But one day Youll realize this and youll learn to live life and be content Keep up the progress and dont let anyone or anything get in the way
