[Hook] And why do I feel like this? And why am I so lifeless? And why do I focus on darkness Instead of on the brightness? And why am I pessimistic? And why am I so sadistic? And why don't they just listen? I guess we'll never know [Verse] b**h, I'm tired of feeling so tired Got a lot of things on my mind Got a lot of things on my plate I'm not feelin' great, and I don't got time When I prove these people all wrong When I prove this sh** to you, ma I'm not wastin' all of my time I face it but I'm tryna do what I love I just wanted to make you feel proud Never want you to feel disappointed I'm so focused, I want it, I need it, I'll get it Just hoping that you will support it Never wanted to cause you this pain I just wanted for you to be happy But that means that I will start going insane If I can not follow the dreams in my brain My teacher's and my peers think I won't amount to nothin' I'ma go on keep on workin' til I show 'em I be somethin' I be stunnin', give a f** about what you just had to say Give a f** about what you just had to say And for those who don't believe me Promise you are gonna see me On the TV doing things I always said I'd f**in' do I just wanna leave a mark and show 'em all what I can do But I love it when they doubt me
Cause I've got so much to prove, yeah I just feel tired of letting you down I just wanna make you feel proud I just wanna make it and give you the world And treat you the way you deserve I couldn't have done this without you All these things that you did for me Visibly, taught me to always be true To know what I'm worth and to never lose dignity Never been lookin' for sympathy Never want no one to pity me Just hope that people be feeling me Trust myself and my abilities Workin' it, workin' it, workin' consistently Promise you I will not end up a failure I got way too much pa**ion and hunger Was younger, still knew I wanted a million Travel to Cali, New York, and Australia What do you want? What else could you want from me? What else could I possibly do for you, prove to you? You don't understand The concept is new to you But it's not new to me You gotta believe in me See what I see in me Trust in myself Cause I made this possible Not nobody else [Hook] And why do I feel like this? And why am I so lifeless? And why do I focus on darkness Instead of on the brightness? And why am I pessimistic? And why am I so sadistic? And why don't they just listen? I guess we'll never know
