Dancing with the devil I done learned some new moves
Ain't no chip off the block I got way too much to prove
Got my shit together took me 36 moons
Can't look back at the past I got way too much to lose
Stranded in the city for the season
Felt like my life was losing meaning
Couldn't sleep but I was California dreaming
Goddamn I was living indecent
Picked my mind out the gutter plucked my head out the sky
Cut the excess out I don't need an alibi
Separate the real from the fake man I tried
At the end of the day I'm left with me myself and I
Didn't have it in me to maintain a facade
Took a look at myself I was shocked and appalled
All I saw in myself was this miserable sod
Gotta turn this shit around if not so help me God
My apologies to everyone I met along the way
Ain't genuine but if I didn't lie I'd have nothing to say to you
If you wanna be real then that's okay
Every second that I've known you I've just wrote off as a waste and it's true
Keep the focus on myself I ain't never need your help
Might as well cut you off you ain't offering me much
So do you as you please and say what you want
I still wish you the best I ain't holding no grudge
Way too diplomatic to be beefing
Own my mistakes and nothing more I'm not appeasing shit
Aiming at me instead out bailing out your leaking ship
You clearly got pressing issues you should be dealing with
Talk to me nice talk to me nice
I don't wanna talk if you're not gonna talk to me nice
I don't really give a shit if you want me to fight you
Instigating shit you can get out my sight too
Collected myself I'm seeing clearly
For the first time in a couple years G
I missed being myself so dearly
Came so close to falling overboard dodged it so nearly
But now I'm back and I'm better than ever
Never had no talent I rely on the effort
I put my all into every word and letter
So if you talking shit you might end up on a stretcher
My apologies to everyone I met along the way
Ain't genuine but if I didn't lie I'd have nothing to say to you
If you wanna be real then that's okay
Every second that I've known you I've just wrote off as a waste and it's true
Keep the focus on myself I ain't never need your help
Might as well cut you off you ain't offering me much
So do you as you please and say what you want
I still wish you the best I ain't holding no grudge
I ain't holding no grudge
I ain't holding no grudge
You ain't offer me much
I ain't holding no grudge
