Lyrically

I’m Challenged

Mentally Imbalanced

But I set fire to the rain

Busting in real smooth so you feel no pain

No Bark

No Bite

No reason to fight

Always put the gloves down

‘cause I know where I am now

Not homebound

Don’t have my head sticking in the ground

But i hope I find a way to make myself proud

Make myself say wow

Put my fist in the air

forget to say "pow"
 

But I guess my powers are in my voice

So I have to sit back and make my choice

Choose what to fight for and who to defend

Tell who should have the right chore

And what’s gonna win

But I can’t pretend like it’s not gonna end

But where to begin?

What is the latest trend

So I know to do the opposite

And to be anonymous of the populist

and the popular opinion

I have a mind of my own

‘cause I’m not someone’s minion
 

Walk in real slow

Grab onto my covers

Turn the TV up like there’s no other

Sounds blowing in my head

Can’t get outta bed

Slouching in these green sheets

Like there’s no place to be

No set to return to

No new job interviews

As if I put in the effort

I need a new sweatshirt

Haven’t cut my hair in 6 months and 3 weeks

It’s because of laziness,

but I say it’s the new chic

When really it has shit to do with anything

Forget designer clothes and all of those fancy things

Only know when you're ready to sit there and sing
 

While you sing in your Wallowing of sadness

I’ll be swallowing the madness

Along with self-pity

Forget what anyone else will say

I’m still with me

That’s a lot more than most of us have today

As if somehow we’ll all go away

Or grow apart

Getting flashback

Remembering how to start

But I don't know how to finish

How do I quit this?

Real life coming at me so fast

But I still can't get an average so I can pass

and get through my goals and accomplishments

But I still haven't had the chance to gain my confidence

Although I could preach it out more than anyone else

Forget it’s not about money,

No,

It’s for the wealth

And nobody else

Can take anything from me

Because I have nothing to hide

As you can see

That this is new but I still want to ride

And have an experience

Read up on what to expect

And what's most convenient

I don't know if I'll have the chance or if I can make it

But art is what you can craft

So I hope I never break it

Broken down in many ways but one

Break out of my silence so I can be the gun

And the person shooting with the highest of quality

Beg for my rights so I'll have equality

Because I'm equal in all of my options

The difference is, will I choose to be cautious?

Know who's my true friends and who's my competition

So sign me up like I'm a petition

I’m Not one with a competitive mind

But I’ll fight for my rights

And hope for a kind of glory that’ll be just fine

Not one with a hidden side

All my secrets are out in the light

I'll make this moment mine

And I'll be sure I'm the one to shine

Shining bright like I’m Mikey J

I won’t hide away in case I die today

Because I have this moment made

Living like it’s all possible

I’ll be sure to take this to my grave with no obstacles

No hospitals

Not optional

 

Not possible

No obstacles

No hospitals
Not optional

Not possible
No obstacles
No hospitals
Not optional
