[Token - Self Made lyrics]
Shyea
I will always be an individual
For every second I was failing to
Be fitting in my school
And if I'm hearing there is
Something I cannot do
I just got the wrong people to listen to
'Cause I've been invincible ever
Since I was told
That being different is a gift I hold
Been driven ever since my initial video tryna
Get into shows on my tippy toes
But I'm a little bit taller now (Here we go)
Watch what's hurtin' me, drop the urgency
Not concerned with the common courtesy
Y'all deserve defeat
Never listen to anyone who say
They be understandin' me
'Cause I'm still learnin' me
This is constant work for me
I'll put a fire under Mass
The thermometers could not observe
Or monitor the heat
Hardest worker when y'all refer to me
Over all of the years my team has
Gotten smaller but I'm not too surprised
No one keep up with how
I work, but it's okay, i ain't often to rely
I could ask you all these questions like "How
Are you gonna stop my crew and I?"
But I'd rather have you
Question yourself so I
Can sit here and watch your suicide
I ain't gotta kill 'em they killin' them self
But if they need to be killed I'll
Be killin' for a killin' funny
Nobody really wanna be givin'
Me compliments assumin'
That it's gettin' to my head
But that is never how I'm feelin'
And when I be comin' around
Everyone happy as shit
But I never forget anyone who
Would laugh at this kid
I hope my success burns your tongue every
Time you were asked about this shit
But I gotta remember, I go up, I go down
But right now I'm better
See my mom proud of me, my dad proud of me
My grandma proud of me, grandpa you'd be too
No talkin' 'bout success
I have work for this
'Cause I wanna be strong just like you
Just like you
I'll never give up because you never let it
I still feel your hand when we watch me on TV
I think about you every
Time that I'm stressin'
I miss you, and we all do
I wonder what you would say to
Me watchin' all of this
I could go back years
But I hold back tears when
I'm jottin' all of this
Yeah, I just hope to one day
Hold knowledge like you did
And if the cancer never got
You I know you'd wanna be at every one of my
Shows watchin' me commit
See I'm prepped for this, as a perfectionist
I spend more time on one verse than an essay
Just as important
Recording it 'til the morning and surely
Every performance gotta be best take
Mixing in the studio
The shit gotta sound beautiful so listen
When you usually press play
Self taught through music
Learn myself through music
Better myself through music, I'm self made
Better myself through music, analyze myself
Keep what I like
Lose what I don't every time I do this
And as I write what helps me make it better
As I try to forget what forces me to remember
What's making me invincible every day
Making sure I won't surrender
These eraser shavings
Thank you
I will always be an individual
