[INTRO]

Em B
[VERSE ONE]
Em
Clicks, clicks, clicks, they'll do anything to get a few
Em
Tick, tick, tick, that's the sound before my head explodes
Em
Quit, quit, quit, look at you up on your pedestals
B
Quick, quick, quick, here the critics come, it's time to go

Em
I read your article, it kinda hurt me
Em
I don't know who hired you or what your friends say in your circle
Em
But the fact that you released it tells me two things are for certain:
B
They get paid for trashin' people, I get paid 'cause I stay workin' (Yeah)

Em
Dropped The Search and they emerge up outta nowhere to the surface
Em
Just to peek behind the curtain, throwin' salt at all my burdens
Em
I'm aware I shouldn't give this my attention, life's a journey
               B
I should just stay on my path and learn to laugh, you think they heard me?

Em
Ears are burning, put 'em out, quiet, quiet, look around
Em
Why don't they find someone way more interesting to write about?
Em
Us, we're kinda boring, aren't we? All we do is whine and pout
B
It's confusing, so amusing how I argue with myself—hello!
 
[VERSE TWO]
Em
I spit it with ease, so leave it to me
Em
You doubt it but you better believe
Em
I'm on a rampage, hit 'em with the record release
Em
Depend on the week, I'm prolly gonna have to achieve

Em
Another goal, let me go when I'm over the beat
Em
I go into beast mode, like I'm ready to feast
      B
I'm fed up with these thieves, tryna get me to bleed
B
They wanna see me take an L? Yup, see what I mean?

Em
How many records I gotta give you to get with the program?
Em
Taken for granted, I'm 'bout to give you the whole plan
Em
Open your mind up and take a look at the blueprint
Em
Debate if you gotta, but gotta hold it with both hands

Em
To pick up the bars, you gotta be smart
Em
You really gotta dig in your heart
Em
If you wanna get to the root of an issue
B
Pursuin' the mental can be dark and be difficult
B
But the pay off at the end of it can help you to get through it, ayy

[CHORUS]
Em
Paid my dues, made it through
Em
Woo, woo, woo
Em
Spread the news, I'm on the loose
Em
Woo, woo, woo
Em
Makin' moves, I need some room
Em
Woo, woo, woo
B
Thought we's cool
B
Well, don't assume, don't assume, ayy
 
[VERSE THREE]
Em
I'm the truth, oh, they want some proof? Here, don't be rude
Em
Somethin' new, even when I lose I make it look cool
Em
Do the show, then we hit the room, wife is lookin', ooh
B
What to do? I don't need the shades up to like the view (Yeah) (View, view)

Em
It's time to get back in the swing of things
Em
When my life crashes, I'm not the guy that'll flee the scene
Em
I'll take ownership and own it and raise my hand if it's me
         B
Just remember though, I'm only a man, I'm a human being

Em
Don't they see? Shoot the breeze, I'd rather just stay discrete
Em
People claim they're in your corner but leave you in times of need
Em
They don't listen, do they? (What?) They don't listen to anything
      B
I'll accept advice if it's not presented ignorantly

         Em
Look, costs are high, they multiply, then cause divides
Em
I'm forced to fight the poison I been
Em
Sippin' on has quite the bite, it killed me twice
Em
They rigged the lights so y'all can see the parts of mine

Em
That aren't so bright, see, often I apologize
Em                                   B
Then authorize the awful times to pop up (Nate)
B
Like I'm right behind you, I'd advise you not to try to
B                 Em
Climb inside the mind like I do

Em
Keep the rhyme book, expedite it, overnight it
Em
Hold it tight and hope that time is on my side
Em
'Cause if it's not then I'll decide to override
Em
My own demise, I tow the line too close and I
Em
Could improvise, I'd empathize but recognize
     B
The fact that I could jeopardize and wreck your lives
B
You better give me your attention, the undivided
