Atmosphere - Me lyrics

Yeah, the child in the mirror was homely So he learned early on how to switch into low-key Little person, observant and accurate Grew the sk**s to argue and the pa**ion to back it with Kick over the blocks just to re-build them Cause mom and pop used to pop Sound familiar? Daddy had to leave, but Mama kept hurtin So we stepped up to help Be an anger and a burden And right around the same time Started noticing girls, but they wouldnt pay him any mind And if they ever did, he got nervous You shoulda seen him practice on his hand for his first kiss Even though he was too young to hunt and gather Hungry puppy had to learn how to front and swagger It didnt matter, it was all self-esteem At 16, you only needed one on your team And mom and dad was never gettin back together So he was on some Baby we gon' make it last forever Basically married right out of high school Five years of gettin' high and fightin at a drive-thru And when he hit 21, they made a son But on his 22nd birthday, their relationship was done Now hes got a best friend instead of a wife But he feels like he stole the best years of her life After that, it was one co-dependant to the next A lotta love, a lotta hate and a little bit of great s** Self-learning in between the self-loathing Strangled in a cycle Cant feel yourself choking Some of them would overlap Some of them would double-back None of them deserved to be exposed To the trouble that he posed Strike one? Not even out of fear He dont even do rough s** You bite him and hes outta here Make no mistake he puts the man in manipulate And hes attracted to the women that reciprocate Yall can kick karma till its getting late Until Mamas little drama is the topic of the big debate And nowadays the confidence is off the page Cause women are attracted to that clown on the stage Hes only in town for a handful of hours But Repunzel wanna come down and dance in the flowers Wanna make a smile? Wanna make a laugh? Wanna make up for the mistakes in the past? Wanna act like he doesnt know better If paybacks a b**h hell be in debt forever Insecure, Impatient Temporary gratification, self-validation Thats what its made of Its all true and its the only reason hes even talking to you You can try to fix my broken wings You can know all the words to the songs I sing But you dont need to know whats wrong with me Unless you think youre gonna come home with me [x2] You can try to fix my broken wings You can know all the words to the songs I sing But you dont need to know whats wrong with me Unless you think youre gonna come home with me [x2]
