Flex

[Intro] Yeah, I flex when I'm hurtin' the most Diamonds dance while I'm prayin' to ghosts Anxiety got me, but they'll never know Council estate dreams, that's the only way I know [Verse 1] Designer fits hide the scars that I keep Therapy sessions, but I'm still in too deep Mama taught me how to smile through the rain Now I'm flexin' through the motherfuckin' pain Rollie on my wrist, but time still stands still Poppin' these pills just to cope with what's real Sheffield streets made a soldier outta me But behind these chains, I'm just tryna break free [Chorus] I flex, flex, but I'm broken inside New whip, drip, but I'm dying to hide They see the ice, but they don't see the lies I flex, flex, 'cause I'm scared to cry (I'm scared to cry) [Verse 2] Panic attacks in designer clothes Meditation mixed with powder for my nose They think I'm stuntin', but I'm barely alive Every Instagram post is another disguise Trust fund kids never felt this pain Working class hero, yeah, that's my name Therapist said I should open up more But vulnerability's what I got armor for [Bridge] Sometimes I wonder if I'm fooling myself Put my trauma in a Gucci box on the shelf Every flex is just protection from the truth Every chain is just deflection from my youth [Chorus] I flex, flex, but I'm broken inside New whip, drip, but I'm dying to hide They see the ice, but they don't see the lies I flex, flex, 'cause I'm scared to cry (I'm scared to cry) [Outro] Yeah, I flex when I'm hurtin' the most But underneath all this shit, I'm a ghost Council estate dreams turned material things Still can't buy the peace that this anxiety brings (Can't buy peace)
