Negative Energy

I'm tired of these people that try so damn hard To throw me off the right track The snakes that work so hard To chat so much shit behind my back I've been quiet for so long But now it's time for me to verbally attack I've lost the patience and the will To sit back in silence Watch the drama unfold and just relax So many times I've held my peace And not said jack Thought that I was doing the right thing By not charging in and saying shit Because I knew what the consequences would bring And the repercussions would be nothing but troubling Everybody knows that I'm a genuine and caring human being I always try to be optimistic And carry a positive outlook about me But that shit can be hard to maintain When people take that for granted And throw it back in my face And I'm left with that bitter aftertaste Too many people dragging me down Trying to undermine me Too many people trying to be foul Turning my values around They don't wanna see me win So they knock my confidence out And weigh my personality down The damage is done My courage has been turned inside out This cold, dark energy is getting too deep It's threatening me This cold, dark energy is getting to me It's got me in too steep I don't get why there are so many Cruel people in this world I don't know why shit happens To good people that don't deserve it I know that I make mistakes and I know That having flaws makes me sane I know that I'm not perfect So I'm not trying to preach That I'm always worth it But I know that my kindness And compassion is used against me Entirely for a bad purpose Maybe I've been too weak I've let people belittle me They think that cus I have morals That means they can walk all over me I'm trying to be the best man I can be I'm done with those taking advantage of me You think that you know everything about me Oh please, there's a lot to learn about me I'm filled with this energy Where fire and anger have set their hold on me I'm breaking away from this youthful spirit More aware about people's bullshit F*ck these pathetic excuses Need time to heal from these bruises Too many people dragging me down Trying to undermine me Too many people trying to be foul Turning my values around They don't wanna see me win So they knock my confidence out And weigh my personality down The damage is done My courage has been turned inside out This cold, dark energy is getting too deep It's threatening me This cold, dark energy is getting to me It's got me in too steep One day you'll be sorry When you think about the time That you crossed me Don't want to forget Don't want to forgive The ones that have clearly wronged me That's why I'm writing this song To stop my mind from ignoring These thoughts I've been storing And keep my heart from conforming To the hatred the world is enforcing
