Erik King - Meditate Lyrics

I'm so tired of playing pretend
I remember when I just wanted all this shit it to end
I be breaking down every night
With this silent conflict I fight
Come from a town where I never fit
Looking passed me like I ain't shit
Wishing I could be everything I'm not
Is asking for happiness a lot like
Why do I gotta be the kid with chip on his shoulder
Why everyday his heart feel a little colder
But as I got a little bolder
Yeah as I got a little older
I learned in my depths of loneliness
I found myself I became my own help
And In your lies I realized my own truth
Alone in my room Ima just tell ya on the mic like

People got that hella hate hella hate
Homie I just mediate n elevate
Cultivate love in myself
There's nothing to prove to anyone else nah
People got that hella hate hella hate
Homie just mediate n elevate
Cultivate love in yourself
There's nothing to prove to anyone else

So I be moving up the ranks
Damn straight feeling like tom hanks
Oh yeah I be a cast away
Sometimes I don't know I don't know if I'll last the day
I question why I try
But I keep Laying one brick a time
I leaned to vent it out when I rhyme
And It's funny when I find actors putting on show
Trying to pull me down so low like
God damn why you gotta act so tough man
Why you gotta bring me down
To build yourself up
Like dummy we in this together
If we front like we better
We lose our soul yeah
We act the fool
So f*ck an ego trip
You'll just sit at a desolate throne
Like I'd rather make sure no one feels alone like I felt alone

People got that hella hate hella hate
Homie I just mediate n elevate
Cultivate love in myself
There's nothing to prove to anyone else nah
People got that hella hate hella hate
Homie just mediate n elevate
Cultivate love in yourself
There's nothing to prove to anyone else
