I Don't Fit In
We the generation of prescription pills
Gotta get them filled let us keep it real
The feeling we escaping for a piece of thrill
To reach guilds of peace of mind, I’m reaching still
Just lab rats fed by street doctors
Underhand over the counters while police watch us
Real MD’s will don’t see disease to restock us
So we plot their weak spots to feed proper
It’s so easy to abuse it, giving us a script for the pain never proved it
The first pill had to take was intense, had me feeling I was different or insane in the head
But I came to detect that many ladies and gents, were unable to rest until obtaining their meds
Try explaining my stress, but you need to go through it
I took pills to see what it’s like to be human
I don’t fit in, but I won’t give in
Always felt different even seen as a kid
I was off in my mind, trying to hide
Trying to face the world without a soul on my side
Knowing I ain’t the same, something off in my brain
Asking me what’s wrong there’s too much to explain
So I’m forcing a grin, don’t know where to begin
Had to come to terms that I don’t fit in, to this world
(chorus)
I was only comfortable when it came to music
Trapped inside the headphones my life secluded
I was on the rise to feel pride and do this
But the street cred and hustle and I had trouble to prove it, I was
Wondering clueless if the struggle I knew is not enough to be included
So again I finally had thought I found a place to fit in but instead it seemed I only was intruding
Now imagine everything you ever worked to achieve, was denied for the fact of a person’s beliefs
Even though I never fit in, I never could admit it, and still continue spitting while I’m checking for admission
I’m passing on the L’s when they passing me the lighter
Breaking up the cypher, now they passing on a cypher?
Just because I don’t smoke weed
Doesn’t mean I can’t get on the mic and smoke MC’s
So I wrote low key, left me so empty
Just another place I never felt at home or free
Walk right past like they don’t know me
Just another face in the crowd with no ID
(chorus)
Know that there won’t be no one there, when you’re alone and in despair
Feel like the world just doesn’t care, they can’t relate our life impaired
Had to learn as I got older, I’d grow to be a loner
Never warm welcomes, just the cold shoulder
Panic disorder and the social anxiety had me in and out of jobs with the hopes that they’d fire me
I have tried it all, don’t know how I managed
Feel that I was born scorned on the wrong planet
Feelings being torn sure had it’s advantage in a black padded room strapped to the Craftmatic
