See, Confidence has been sitting in the backseat with too little legroom
And he's running out of beef jerky for the journey
Humble's been driving too slow in the fast lane and
According to Confidence,
We're never gonna' get there in time
Confidence is tired of taking a backseat
Needs to stand in the spotlight
Tired of letting Humble get pushed around while everyone else takes to the podium
So, Confidence grabs the wheel,
Reckless driving indeed
I buckle my seatbelt because a beast has been let of the cage
Confidence is swerving, drifting
And I'm loudly screaming that I'm tired of wannabes and fakes
Lames getting all the lime light and airtime
See, Humble had me lurking in the shadows,
A silent killer stalking its pray,
A lion on the prowl
With Confidence going pedal to the metal
Autobahn style
I'm done with coming from the back
These sneak attacks
I'm out in the open, ready to pounce
Humble had me sitting in the crowd,
Clapping for the winner,
Looking at others and just being. . .
Humble
And self-depreciating
But now my Confidence and I are Kanye-ing,
Kicking Taylor off the stage,
Not caring who's feelings I hurt,
Letting my Greatness get its due respect
OHHH
But NO
Confidence is swerving,
Getting more reckless
Arrogance
Humble's in the backseat,
Hyperventilating,
Searching for something to hold on to,
And I'm just sitting in the passenger seat watching it all play out
And then. . .
BAM!!!
Humble what were you thinking?
Were you thinking?
You shouldn't have let him drive
And over zealous
Confidence did you not see that brick wall up ahead?
Did you not see someone else’s oncoming Dreams?
Did you forget that you had precious cargo?
Look what you've done
Now I’m standing here holding all the tickets and the fines
I guess that's what happens when I let Confidence drive
When Humble takes a backseat
