(daniel)
you only know me through the screen
quit acting like we always been a team
since day one, I’m moving like machines
I’m my own band
plan my own schemes
nigga you ain’t even following ya own dreams
bet you feeling safe
behind them broken lights
playing with yourself
you stomping heavy on that thinning ice
overwrite device
imperfections under headlights
cities on fire
but you stress what gets the most bites
most liked?
I could give a fuck about it
attention ain’t the motive
some of y’all can't live without it
go ahead and cry about it
I bet you like the way it sounding
I doubt you even care
just spitting words
in my surrounding
(hash)
Why you bitching and complaining, but you never make a change?
Maybe there’s a chemical imbalance in your brain
Live a cookie-cutter life, grow old
Filled with pain, then project your insecurities on me
We ain't the same
Mad that I’m chasing fame
Mad that I’m on the way
Fuck fame
I’m just tryna get my mama out the rain
Kill me if I’m 45 with all of my dreams distant
Fuck your rules
I’m dancing to my own beat
You niggas shapeshifting
(daniel)
you only know me through the screen
quit acting like we always been a team
since day one, I’m moving like machines
I’m my own band
plan my own schemes
nigga you ain’t even following ya own dreams
self-esteem
tied to others
figurine dreams
stagnant
bragging bout your actions
bad habits in the magnet
crowded teeth
I'm smiling
I’m myself
and I’m ecstatic
looking through the plastic
you hurting and wreaking havoc
my nigga I'm causing static
(hash)
Corrupted file,
You’ve got a permanent bug
Never fit in between, no I never gave a fuck
Especially ‘bout a nigga who’s just like the next one
Die for what I love
I don’t do this shit for fun,
Don’t do it for the clout,
Don’t do it for the sluts,
Y’all transition like the seasons
Or the moon and the sun
Bottom feeding leeches
Cut em from the gut up
Upgrade as a 2.0
Turn em to dust
(daniel)
you only know me through the screen
quit acting like we always been a team
since day one, I’m moving like machines
I’m my own band
plan my own schemes
nigga you ain’t even following ya own dreams
