NF - Returns lyrics

What is perfect? Not me
I've been overworkin' for weeks
I go home then purchase some things
That I know will not fill my needs
Have a dose of what I've achieved
Then get lonesome and I critique
Who I am and what I believe
Make up standards too high to reach
Untrained animal off the leash
I'm in panic, but yet relieved
Brought your hammock to hang with me?
Grab a hatchet, cut down your tree
Like a mannequin that can speak
What I have in store is unique
I just mop the floors with MCs
I can't stop until things are clean
I'm an amateur's what you think
So you stand there in disbelief
'Til I dislocate both your feet
That's what happens, you step to me
Not too graphic, but not PG


Lots of action in every scene
I'm kidnapping all of your dreams
Hold 'em hostage and watch 'em scream (Ahh)
Rap aside, I am what I advertise
Don't matter how you put it, we live
Then we have to die
You might hate it, but you can't deny
See, everything that I've been doing got
Me lookin' like a mastermind it's so vain
But, I vandalize that I
Do what you fantasizin'
Took a vision of my dreams
And then found a better way
That I can make it i've been looking
Think I'm really 'bout to maximize it (Agh)
These bullets form in my mind and
Come out my mouth and (Pow, pow, pow)
For anyone out there doubting
Or acting mouthy (Watch, watch, watch)
Forget what you heard about me
I've been astounding (Got, got, got)
Something for you thinking you might
Run circles 'round me
Yeah, ain't this all I ever wanted?
That's a fact, no, that's a lie, no
I'm confused, yeah, I got problems
What's the use? yeah, let's be honest
Screws are loose, I need 'em tightened
Not amused, yeah, look what I did
Brought you something, hope you like it
So precise, the flow the nicest
So productive, stop your whining
Back in style like I was vinyl
I make songs and they go viral
Something's off if I go idle
"Been so long, " yeah, okay, I know
Take your shoes off, you're in my home
You got fans, but not like I do, yeah
(I do, I do) thankful, I try to be
Can't contain what's inside of me
They don't like this side of me
'cause I lack in compliancy
I question what I can see if
You're not playing my CD no expiring
I'll decide when I think it's
My time to leave (Woo)
Yeah, 'cause they won't retire me
It inspires me to be inspiring
When I'm low I feel like I'm spiraling
Pushin' forward, look, I can't ignore it
There ain't no I in team
But drop the T and A
Sometimes, if I'm bein' honest
Feels like it's only me no defeat, notably
Better have it right if you're quoting me
Write my name on your hit list
It might be the last time you wrote something
Rip that cocky smile right off your face
For thinking you're close to me
Grab a can of gasoline
Light it all over your self-esteem
Selfishly watching y'all helplessly pretend
You're on my planet shoot you out of the
Sky like you're punchlines
You are not landin' gun jammin'
Reach in your mouth and rip
Out your tongue after tongue
Lashings, I hand 'em out
Like pamphlets in church, pastor
Show up to my funeral wearin' all black
And what's happenin'?
I look around and wonder, "Where my fans at?"
Oh Lord, they know me so well
They know I'm not in that casket
Trash bag is prolly buried somewhere
Full of my ashes
My music's superb, playin' with words
Play with my nerves they gon' have a list of
Issues long as my shirts
Very absurd, very disturbed
Stare at the Earth like
"This is not the place I was birthed"
I'm generic, you sure?
Oh, they think I'm very reserved
'Til I open up on the beat
Like on my Therapy work
I don't care what you heard, real scary
Carry the verse while I'm wearin' my merch
Stompin' on your arrogant turf
Sit back and observe, nah
I like to actually work
This life's so unpredictable
It just keeps pitching me curves
I take a swing, i hate the things that make
Me feel like I'm dirt
I've patiently been waitin', please
I think it's time for my turn
My expertise are melodies
They talk to me when I'm hurt
Just let me be
Eventually someday they'll see what I'm worth
I cross my I's and dot my
T's, it makes no sense, but I've learned
Normal to you is not to me
The outcast finally returns
(Returns, returns)
