Self Made - Token

I will always be an individual

For every second I was failing to be fitting in my school

And if I’m here then it’s something I cannot do

I just got the wrong people to listen to

'Cause I’ve been invincible ever since I was told that being different is a

gift I hold

Been driven ever since my initial video tryna get into shows on my tippy toes

But I’m a little bit taller now

(Here we go!)

Watch what’s hurtin' me, drop the urgency, not concerned with the common

courtesy

I’ll deserve defeat

Never listen to anyone who say they be understandin' me

'Cause I’m still learnin' me

This is constant work for me

I’ll put a fire under Mass

The thermometers could not observe or monitor the heat

Hardest worker when y’all refer to me

Over all of the years my team has gotten smaller but I’m not too surprised

No one keep up with how I work, but it’s OK, I ain’t often to rely

I could ask you all these questions like «how are you gonna stop my crew and I?»

But I’d rather have you question yourself so I can sit here and watch your

suicide

I ain’t gotta kill 'em and kill 'em and stuff

But if they need to be killed I’ll be killin' for a killin' funny

Nobody really wanna be givin' me compliments assumin' that it’s gettin' to my

head

But that is never how I’m feelin' (OH!)

And when I be comin' around everyone happy as shit

But I never forget anyone who would laugh at this kid

I hope my success burns your tongue everytime you were asked about this shit

But I gotta remember, I go up, I go down, but right now I’m better

See my mom proud of me, my dad proud of me

My grandma proud of me, grandpa you’d be too

No talkin' 'bout success, I have work for this

'Cause I wanna be strong just like you

Just like you

I’ll never give up because you never let it

I still feel your hand when we watch me on TV

I think about you everytime that I’m stressin'

I miss you

And we all do

I wonder what you would say to me watchin' all of this

I could go back years, but I hold back tears when I’m jottin' all of this

Yeah

I just hope to one day hold knowledge like you did

And if the cancer never got you I know you’d wanna be at every one of my shows

watchin' me commit

See I’m prepped for this, as a perfectionist

I spend more time on one verse than an essay

Just as important, recording it 'til the morning and surely every performance

gotta be best take

Mixing in the studio, the shit gotta sound beautiful so listen when you usually

press play

Self taught through music, learn myself through music

Better myself through music

I’m self made

Better myself through music, analyse myself

Keep what I like, lose what I don’t everytime I do this

And as I write what helps me make it better

As I try to forget what forces me to remember

What’s making me invincible everyday, making sure I won’t surrender these

eraser shavings!

Thank you
