[Intro: Memento]
Look, I'm back, familiar place
Lying in my bed, regretting my choice
Back at the start, I thought I'd be cool
I had my own reason, stuck around like a fool
I couldn't fit the mold from the day this began
For the first time in life, I want to fit in
You know I hated school so I didn't back then, but
Let me explain
[Verse 1: Memento]
I been focused on people and not at all on my dreams
I'm only a human, I got my flaws and my needs
It's eating at my mind what they thinking of me
It's eating up my time when I'm hitting the beats
Why the fuck do I crave for these people's respect?
It's slowing me down, throwing my brain in a mess
I been alone in a crowd, I think it's fucked with my head
Been so long without friends, now I just take what I get
And these people that I work with, they don't give a fuck
I want to live my purpose, they want a quick buck
They scared of conversation, bitch, you think I can't tell?
I learned a harsh lesson, every man for himself
[Chorus 1: Nicole Williams]
I feel my head falling under the water
Will I sink or will I swim with the tide
Time passes by but I only grow farther
And I hope I find my place in this life
[Verse 2: Memento]
And when you see me on stage
I seem like I'm the man 'til you see the real me
You think you fucking know me 'cause you come to my show?
Would I feel the same respect if you could come to my home?
If you could see the man I am when I take off my mask
I'm good at first impressions but that shit doesn't last
I start to open up, why you start to back off?
My fucking self esteem kind of starting to drop
[Chorus 2: Nicole Williams]
I feel my head falling under the water
Will I sink or will I swim with the tide
Time passes by & I only grow farther
But I know I'll find my place in this life
[Outro: Nicole Williams]
I'll find my place in this life
I'll find my place in this life
I'll find my place in this life
