Monielle - Runaway lyrics

[Produced by Tone Jonez] [Intro: Deflect] Some call it the art of peer pressure I would go further to say its the crux of human nature (This is wreckin' me, everyones opinions on me settin' me behind what I know I need to find This is settin' me behind on the times, livin' in a state of fear like Kim Jong Un rulin' my mind) All of us usin' up our lives just runnin' around Feeding insecurities by tearing others down [Chorus: Deflect & Robert Stanley] I don't belong here I don't get it Pressure surrounds me, I'm going to drown I don't belong here You don't get it Live for approval and die when you lose it I'm a runaway, I'm a i'm a runaway, I'ma i'ma runaway, I'ma I'ma runaway I ain't ever gonna stay, Ever ever gonna stay You can you can getaway, you can you can [Verse 1: Deflect] Have you ever had the feeling everybody 'round you turnin' on you? One minute they pleasin' you, the next they burnin' out you Everything you do becomes a headline for a tabloid Like they runnin' a ma**ive stand holdin' all of their noise Pressure growin' greater round you Fluctuatin waves of sound surround you Begins to mentally pound you Into the sound underground How i gon' get out? All i see are fabricated doubts All about my inability to stay down low I needa go Take me away [Pre-Chorus: Deflect] Take me far away, take me far away, to a place where i can see, oh where i can see Show me a new way, show me a new way, livin like this every day is slowly k**ing me Why do your words hit me so hard Why does your view leave me with scars [Chorus: Deflect & Robert Stanley] I don't belong here I don't get it Pressure surrounds me, I'm going to drown I don't belong here You don't get it Live for approval and die when you lose it I'm a runaway, I'm a i'm a runaway, I'ma i'ma runaway, I'ma I'ma runaway I ain't ever gonna stay, Ever ever gonna stay You can you can getaway, you can you can (Alright what they sayin' 'bout me now?) [Verse 2: Deflect] He said I shoulda broken up with her two years ago And she said I can't rap because i'm white, so I needa go And they mad Cause of somethin' I said Three years ago When I was a middle schooler, thinkin' that i was cooler so People tell me everything they think i should have done Discontent with my decisions and hatin' what i've become Their words about me spreadin' like the bubonic Soon everyone is thinkin' i'm back drinkin' gin and tonic? I've all but lost it [Pre-Chorus: Deflect] Take me far away, take me far away, to a place where i can see, oh where i can see Show me a new way, show me a new way, livin like this every day is slowly k**ing me Why does your view leave me with scars Why do your words hit me so hard [Bridge: Deflect, Robert Stanley & Monielle] I don't have to fit into your box I don't have to be an insider I don't have to be who you want me to be I have an audience of one [Verse 3: Deflect] I'm never gonna give into your lies I'm never gonna let you go lead me to my demise I won't live for approval or acceptance Cuz then I'd just spend my entire life scramblin' around completing your checklist But that life ain't mine no more I won't live under fear of you Secure in who I am, cause theres Somebody Higher who Accepts me, directs me, affects me, and met me And that's Somebody worth livin' for, and not your affections God, take me there [Outro: Deflect] Away, take me far away, to a place where i can see, oh where i can see Show me a new way, show me a new way, livin' like this every day is slowly k**ing me I won't let your view leave me with scars I won't let your words hit me no more Everybody's gonna have somethin' to say No matter what they do, they,re just gon' talk anyway Forget them. I won't live for them [Spoken interlude: Deflect] If you have a problem with the way I act, bring it to my face Don't just sit around and gossip about my past disgrace The culture you've formed of secret hatred should Give you a clue as to why I'm so misunderstood
