Lyrics to Save Yourself
Sometimes I’m feeling like I’m set up
They told me not to get up
I feel like 2Pac when I keep my fucking head up
As a kid I never said much
Never showed up for that shared lunch
But when I fucking make it, it’s my plate they gonna tear from
And I knew from the beginning that’s how it was gonna be
What I didn’t know is most the time it’s hard for me to breathe
See I kept my mouth shut
I done felt like Claude speed
Always tried to be a Goodie like I’m Billy Oddie
Probably a problem child that didn’t know how to show it
Acting like a daft punk whеn it came to my emotions
To be Frank likе the ocean
I got stories that’s endless
But they all revolve around a broken heart unmended
I done came out suspensions
I’m the one who ascended
But I hit the fucking earth and probably broke a few tendons
And mentally, I been on a bender
But do not get me wrong, I ain’t here for long
I will not be a pretender
I look into my past and I’m surprised I ain’t in heaven or hell
Just to wake up and be alive feels like I’ve broken the spell
I beat my way through all these battles with a tale to tell
So call me Kenny but not many wanna see me prevail
So watch me scribe through emotions
Shit I might die as a poet
Feel like dying like I’m Carti
But I don’t play boy I’m focused
I change the hue of these photos
Do the shit you’d never notice
Prodigy of the next POTUS
You know, the one who made ‘Otis’
Huh, fuck
Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
They told me to save myself
Save myself
But I never fucking listen
Give a fuck bout how you felt
Yeah, uh
Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
They told me to save myself
Save myself
I gotta find my way out
Shit I think I need some help
