Lyrics
First off, let me apologize for the pain I've caused
I know it's gonna take some time for all the rain to stop but
look to the skies I've asked God to bring you solace there
Well aware the hardships I caused you were hardly fair
But if we're honest the weight is just as hard to bear
I'm the bipolar, monster extraordinaire
broken at the start heart's impure just to clear the air
and the best thing for you to do is
run away
run away
run away
and I can tell you this with confidence
you and I are polar opposites
the optimist, the pessimist
the artist, the cynic
the listener, lyrics
invested in dreams, invested in things
the rest of it seems so evident
it's the etiquette for development
reverence and detriment
or whichever one is relevant
It's time we went our separate ways I know it isn't fair
oh no
change is scary but that doesn't mean it's bad see
I'm chasing dreams and you ain't happy in the backseat
I'm keeping it real, let's keep it real
real close to the chest I confess the best me
is the rap version
I'm pulling back the curtains
yeah I'm that certain
self-expression is my blessing now I'm testing my limits
picked up a pen and changed my future in a matter of minutes
I get it
Batter up!
I'm swinging straight for the stands
My music's never had a knack for making them dance
I mean what good is gonna come from women shaking their ass
thanks, but I'll pass
I'd rather give you something to relate to
I've hidden gems in my vocal stems that await you
and remedies in the melodies to liberate you
hey you
yes you
Mr. Tough Guy and Ms. Cool Chick discretely giving me the eye
let's take a time out
pause the facades so we can vibe out
musically achieving unity now that's what I'm about
without a doubt I struggle on a daily basis
from the workplace to working stages
from the busses to the trains
it's insane, this was not the plan
I understand that I'm dealing with my consequences
but brotha man can't help but feel like I lost direction
It's all perception now it's time to shed my skin again
It's time we went our separate ways I know it isn't fair
oh no
change is scary but that doesn't mean it's bad see
I'm chasing dreams and I ain't happy in the backseat
I'm keeping it real, let's keep it real
real close to the chest I confess the best me
is the rap version
I'm pulling back the curtains
yeah I'm that certain
self-expression is my blessing now I'm stretching my limits
picked up a pen and changed my future in a matter of minutes
I get it
More than before I feel the full embrace of family
what better drug than love to help revitalize my sanity
gravity couldn't keep me down forever
I was meant to fly
It's my God given right, let me testify
pass the mic and I'll electrify the masses
infinite swipes won't help your chances to match with
the angel in me, because the devil in you is too strong
and I've been on that road for too long
there ain't no going back
matter of fact it's time to grow now
reunited with the light in me, I let it show out
show up, shut the place down like you know what
what what wh-what what what it is
It's Jook The First neither a legend or a myth
just a man in the flesh with hands balled into fists
fighting through the struggle looking for the positives
if you're anything but that
step back and let me live
It's time we went our separate ways I know it isn't fair
oh no
change is scary but that doesn't mean it's bad see
I'm chasing dreams and I ain't happy in the backseat
I'm keeping it real, let's keep it real
real close to the chest I confess the best me
is the rap version
I'm pulling back the curtains
yeah I'm that certain
self-expression is my blessing now I'm stretching my limits
picked up a pen and changed my future in a matter of minutes
I get it
