(Chorus)

I'm feelin' down
I feel hateful
I'm beatin' down
I feel tangled
Still I still found a way to
See my sun shinin'

I'm feelin' down
I feel hateful
I'm beatin' down
I feel tangled
Still I still found a way to
See my sun shinin'

(Verse 1)

Ever since birthright
Been livin' this cursed life
Keep tryna stay alive
As if as I love when it hurts like
I try to fall asleep
But I just toss and I turn nights
And always feelin' loss
But keep the search til I'm burned I'm
Just trapped inside a maze
Of my own insecurity
Days seem to zone, fade away
Into obscurity
Everything I made
Say it's lame
Never sure of me
Only thing remains is the purity

As you try to
Synthesize my brain
Do you love me
Or wanna fetishize my pain?
Do you love the way they beat me
Love to see the way they treat me
Get excited when they take away
The rights I gained?
Do you love me
Or wanna fetishize my skin?
All these politicians
Wanna crucify my friends
Like I'm put in competition
Try, but I can't win
Who are you to rule my life
And then decide my end?

(Chorus)

I'm feelin' down
I feel hateful
I'm beatin' down
I feel tangled
Still I still found a way to
See my sun shinin'

I'm feelin' down
I feel hateful
I'm beatin' down
I feel tangled
Still I still found a way to
See my sun shinin'

(Verse 2)

I hate the way that I look
And so I starve myself
Hate the way I feel inside
And wanna harm myself
Wanna take a tiny blade
So I can carve myself
Paranoid and kinda scared
And so I arm myself
'cause I wanna disappear
I wanna run away
Tell myself everyday
"Mike, put the gun away"
Hide inside the home
And turn the lights, so I go astray
I don't wanna talk
'cause I don't like what they gonna say

Don't even try to love me
'cause we don't got a future
My heart belongs to the music
We read the Kama Sutra
I tell myself that "you should quit
'cause that would prolly suit ya"
'cause what's the point
When any minute now a cop'll shoot ya?
We all seen a friend's body
Lined with chalk around it
We got a lot trauma
We don't like to talk about it
You can sit around and skulk
Or you can walk up out it
'cause they'll just come and snatch your wallet
If you sulk about it

(Verse 3)

I'm worth a million
And I ain't even touch a thousand
Coulda had a couple deals
And money I could drown in
So what's the outcome?
Live and die in public housin?
All this pressure
Overwhelms me and I'm so surrounded
I don't regret the situation
That I fell and wound in
I found a cozy place in Hell
That I just chose to lounge in
They say I wasted all my talent
Lookin' so confounded
I lost my mind
And then I lost my balance

But despite it I stayed true
Since I made my debut
But lack of fame and money
Means your family'll play you
They Smile when in your face
And fabricatin' what they do
But hear 'em talk about you
And you learn that they hate you
Treat you as less than
Don't care if they hurt you
But deep inside they envy
'cause you never break virtue
Project their insecurities
In ways they can nerf you
You put it in the sound
And make a wav you can surf through

(Chorus)

I'm feelin' down
I feel hateful
I'm beatin' down
I feel tangled
Still I still found a way to
See my sun shinin'

I'm feelin' down
I feel hateful
I'm beatin' down
I feel tangled
Still I still found a way to
See my sun shinin'

(Outro)

Still I still found a way to
Still I still found a way to
Still I still found a way to
