Hearsay

She told me I'm a drug, she tryna kick the habit All of y'all some squares I guess I'm tripping acid I don't wanna live a life that's only average It's either I want it all or put me in the casket You don't gotta tell me I'm not living like I should I prefer that you don't even give me your input All the energy it took to get back up on my feet Unconcerned with the hearsay that's foaming out they teeth All I got's me and that's really all I need That's just how I feel That's just how I see Really what I mean is I don't trust easy So when I'm doing me, by all means, leave me be Give me peace Give me silence When I drink I get violent So I leave when they fighting cuz I'm liable to start striking And nobody needs to see that, yeah I mean that, I get lifeless I can be a man who's evil I can be a man who's righteous Just depends on my mood but my mood unaffected By you and your words little boy just keep it stepping If you could only see which direction I am headed I bet you'd shut your mouth and then you'd watch it and respect it Imma tell the truth but the truth ain't their preference I won't be surprised when they mad cuz I expected Nothing more from 'em they was born to be reckless I was born different, all this strength in my reflection (Hush) Man I'm full of sinful motives, I can't even lie Been a walking contradiction majority of my life Sometimes I still be thinking I probably won't get it right But that isn't up to them I'm the one who gets to decide Mom and dad raised a soldier so all that I know is fight I'm taking home that bag by the end of the night I was down so long I didn't even wanna be alive But now that I'm on my feet to the top where I'm finna climb And nobody gonna stop me, if they want they can watch me I just pray to Yahweh I stay humble don't get cocky That's the kind of thing that can make a king fall I can be a man of wisdom I can be a man like y'all Just depends on my mood but my mood unaffected By you and your words little boy just keep it stepping If you could only see which direction I am headed I bet you'd shut your mouth and then you'd watch it and respect it Imma tell the truth but the truth ain't their preference I won't be surprised when they mad cuz I expected Nothing more from 'em they was born to be reckless I was born different, all this strength in my reflection (Hush)
