Lo Key - Dedicated lyrics
[Lo Key - Dedicated lyrics]
The name's Jonathan Thompson
I'm a bottle of problems
Most people see me and they
Think I'm a monster
And so I become one when
You see me in concert it ain't a mask, bro
It's years of rejection
The strength that it took me
To reverse my direction
The links between me and the
Person I left when the
Demons grew too great for me to suppress them
And so I became them, and now I can show you
The motherfuckin' pain that you forced
Me to go through
And all I really know how to do
Is just write it on the wall
This is the story of my life
Just the rising of the fall
Tears fell up in my eyes any time
I try to write it out
Blood trickles from the pen
Now it's time to fight it out
Leave it in the puddle on
The floor as I elevate and never look back
Yo, that's why they call me dedicated
This is all because of you, all you
So you think you know me? Nah, homie
It ain't just a name when
They call me ghostly
How many times I bounced and left state
Left family and friends only
To end in mistakes
Then comin' back to say "Hey" but
I'm a couple years late
They gave me his address
Now I talk to his grave
I don't think anybody knows
The sacrifices I made
All the pieces that I lost that
Brought me here to this day
Just for you to even hear a
Song that cut you away
That's life in a nutshell
We give and we take
I only wish that what I gave
You didn't make you feel hate
And that a couple things I did
Can maybe make you relate
And maybe put you in
A motherfuckin' positive state
But understanding that my heart
Was made to translate
All the darkness you feel when
Your whole life's medicated
And so I bring you my
Darkness because I'm dedicated
I'm a bottle of problems
Most people see me and they
Think I'm a monster
And so I become one when
You see me in concert it ain't a mask, bro
It's years of rejection
The strength that it took me
To reverse my direction
The links between me and the
Person I left when the
Demons grew too great for me to suppress them
And so I became them, and now I can show you
The motherfuckin' pain that you forced
Me to go through
And all I really know how to do
Is just write it on the wall
This is the story of my life
Just the rising of the fall
Tears fell up in my eyes any time
I try to write it out
Blood trickles from the pen
Now it's time to fight it out
Leave it in the puddle on
The floor as I elevate and never look back
Yo, that's why they call me dedicated
This is all because of you, all you
So you think you know me? Nah, homie
It ain't just a name when
They call me ghostly
How many times I bounced and left state
Left family and friends only
To end in mistakes
Then comin' back to say "Hey" but
