5. Grenade
put me on display, don't hide me away
i'm unafraid
watch me burst into flames, i'm like a grenade
and i don't play games
you stuff me in boxes and hide me away
tell me that i better watch what i say
think i'm tripping and spinning when i'm on the stage
just 'cause i don't live my life in your shades on gray
and you acting like i ain't a soldier, love
maybe my moves just too bold for you
maybe you hating on the underdog
'cause you know that soon imma rise up above
and i ain't keeping track but let's look at the score
you sigh of relief when i step off the floor
you act like my freedom makes me an outlaw
but i see you walking around like you're a puppeteer's toy
and i watch you when you strutting around with your crew
acting like you do the things that i do
walking disclaimer like i need excusing
when really you sit on your hands like a fool
put me on display, don't hide me away
i'm unafraid
watch me burst into flames, i'm like a grenade
and i don't play games
you tell me to keep my mouth locked up but i
imma do more than sit pretty and smile
trying to convince me to hide from the lights
'cause i'll win on the track while you falling behind
just say you love me better when i don't know what to be
you talking the talk but you hide behind me
opinion sundowning like you is 80
views so old and brittle, need vitamin D
when i use my own brain what you do, run
mouth hanging open like damn, son
i do not care about no one
because end of the day i get it done
my lyrics you can't comprehend
you smiling you trying to pretend
but you're generation got benched
rain coming down on you hard, don't get drenched, boy
put me on display, don't hide me away
i'm unafraid
watch me burst into flames, i'm like a grenade
and i don't play games
you know i'm the real deal now, you are just a wannabe
and i won't give in to nobody
don't think for a second now, that you'll get apologies
and you won't ever live up to what i'm going to be
put me on display, don't hide me away
i'm unafraid
watch me burst into flames, i'm like a grenade
and i don't play games
7. F I R E (Act II)
my baby chases fireflies, smiling with her brown eyes
doesn’t know what you’re gonna put her through
‘cause i’m working for the good life, staring through your white lies
honey don’t you tell me what i should do
and maybe she’s the reason why
i started painting all my white flags blue
‘cause my girl deserves a good fight
so i’ll be at the frontline fighting for two
now my daddy worked the long nights
dreaming bout the day he could step out and feel the sun on his face
my mama worked a double shift, fighting off the racists
telling her to go back to where she came from
and maybe they’re the reason why
i slowly became everything that you hate
but i don’t give a damn what you say
hey, i won’t fall in line no more, no more, now
hey, running out of time, so long, so long
hey i’m gunning, i’m gunning for my voice to be heard oh
hey, nobody left behind oh
all the people on the news now telling me to bow down
like i’m gonna listen to what they say
they’ve forgotten that i’m too proud
i don’t hide in big crowds
honey if you hurt me, you’re gonna pay
and i know I’m the reason why
the people who hate me, they won’t get away
and i don’t give a damn what you say
hey, i won’t fall in line no more, no more, now
hey, running out of time, so long, so long
hey i’m gunning, i’m gunning for my voice to be heard oh
hey, nobody left behind oh
so, honey, now do you see
what i’ve been fighting for all this time
now, honey, do you believe
that i’m gonna make it right
so, honey, now do you see
what i’ve been fighting for all this time
now, honey, do you believe
that i’m gonna make it right
hey, i won’t fall in line no more, no more, now
hey, running out of time, so long, so long
hey i’m gunning, i’m gunning for my voice to be heard oh
hey, nobody left behind oh
hey, i won’t fall in line no more
so, hey, you best run and hide
9. Welcome
welcome, welcome to hell (this is what i was afraid of)
i hope it pleases you, only time will tell (they were never the problem, it was always you)
whether you're broken, whether you're sick in the head
i hope you find what you're looking for, or they'll find you instead (i can't move, i can't breathe)
call all your enemies, oh your reckoning has come (i can't think)
they won't make it swift or painless, oh no they've just begun (what do you want from me)
the silence it grows louder than the thoughts in your head (get out)
burn the words around you, mean all the things that you said
oh you've been duped, you've been fooled (go to hell)
if you knew all the things that i knew
you would run, run, run, run, run away from here (it was always you)
but welcome back, you've been missed (get out)
go on, get a little more off your chest
you've got time, got eternity for this (you are what i was afraid of)
so welcome, welcome to hell
whether you leave this place, only time will tell
11. Purple Love
blue eyes, laugh lines, he will lay under blue skies with you
blue jeans, cool breeze, he walked out of a daydream for you
an angel, oh meeting him was fateful
you fell and now you're eyes been closed shut since
purple love got you thinking of
all the things you would have done
blue and red dancing in your head
you don't need to choose 'the one'
red lips, not a care, what you have with her so rare, you know
red lights, long hair, tangled up in the cold air and unknown
a woman, none like the one you're holding
you fell and now you're eyes been closed shut since
purple love got you thinking of
all the things you would have done
blue and red dancing in your head
you don't need to choose 'the one'
it feels like a whirlwind, but you don't play the game to win
all you do is feel something
you don't got to pick a side, this ain't no battle fight
it's alright to let your own love win
purple love got you thinking of
all the things you would have done
blue and red dancing in your head
you don't need to choose 'the one'
they can't make you choose 'the one'
don't apologize you've just got purple love
2. Overdue
lately, lately we been skipping all the bases
i can taste you on my mind, it leaves me hazy
baby, show me things i haven't seen
leave me, leave me wanting more because you freed me
i don't want to ever lose you, unappealing
got me hoping that you say the things you mean
breathe me in while i breathe you out
tripping over you, i don't want to lose
build me up while i break you down
things that we been through, love is overdue
scheming, lying, yelling, fighting, i been dreaming
of the days when we would feel all of our feelings
oh can you take me to the days when i loved you
breathe me in while i breathe you out
tripping over you, i don't want to lose
build me up while i break you down
things that we been through, love is overdue
won't you come my way, hey
make me crave you after all i gave you
breathe me in while i breathe you out
tripping over you, i don't want to lose
build me up while i break you down
things that we been through, love is overdue
4. Psycho
my biggest fear is that eventually they will see me how i see myself
laying on the concrete, half past three
just me, myself, and i
got on my favorite lip gloss, take it all off
we’re just strangers in the night
they’ll call you troubled, baby, don’t be crazy
just do what i want, pretty please
nice to meet you, my name is psycho, it’s alright though
i’m so pretty when i lie
trying to run out of my claws, magic 8 ball
you’re just running out of time
now don’t you see that i’m the only one who’ll teach you how to breathe
trust me, it’s just you and me
chaos ain’t no game for two oh
just let me in and watch me ‘cause i’ll always win
so fast you won’t know what to do oh
let the madness begin
oh now you’re hungover
‘cause i’m behind the wheel
you’ll try to tell the others, don’t bother
they’ll all tell you it’s not real
honey, you’ll only ever be a pretty pawn in someone’s game
just play, it’s just you and me
chaos ain’t no game for two oh
just let me in and watch me ‘cause i’ll always win
so fast you won’t know what to do oh
let the madness begin
my, my, what’s come over me, oh
don’t cry, i don’t want to live
but i don’t want to leave
6. Monster
they say it's for the best now
they say it's for the best now, best now
and i fall down, and i pick myself up
baby, i've been wrong before
baby, baby, look at me now
monster, monster, monster
monster, monster, monster
monster, monster, monster
monster, monster, monster
monster, monster, monster
monster, monster, monster
monster, monster, monster
monster, monster, monster
8. Stuck Alive
tell me that i’m beautiful
tell me that i asked for it
tell me that i’m special and that you don’t do this often
you say there’s beauty in the darkness, just close your eyes
you killed me with your love but i’m stuck alive
your fixation on me’s getting terrifying
but if i told my brothers they’d think i’m lying
and it shouldn’t matter what i’m wearing tonight yeah
oh ‘cause i swear to God i was never inviting
but you, you found me, you drown me
oh you, you stole me, control me
tell me that i’m beautiful
tell me that i asked for it
tell me that i’m special and that you don’t do this often
you say there’s beauty in the darkness, just close your eyes
you killed me with your love but i’m stuck alive
don’t want to be rude so i’m down on my knees
you don’t understand no, so i’m begging you please
oh ‘cause i’m underwater and i cannot breathe, oh
so i close my eyes while you spread like disease
'cause you, you found me, you drown me
oh you, you stole me, control me
tell me that i’m beautiful
tell me that i asked for it
tell me that i’m special and that you don’t do this often
you say there’s beauty in the darkness, just close your eyes
you killed me with your love but i’m stuck alive
now i’m scared even when the lights are on
is that so wrong, is that so wrong
‘cause i thought that if i played along
you’d be gone, oh you’d be gone
tell me that i’m beautiful
tell me that i asked for it
tell me that i’m special and that you don’t do this often
you say there’s beauty in the darkness, just close your eyes
killed me with your love but i’m stuck alive
i’m stuck alive
10. 307
pouring all they problems in a red cup
talk about it too much, call them extra
staring at her phone, 3:07
guess it doesn't really make a difference
tell 'em, i don't even know where i come from
repping Cincinnati but i'm long gone
sister born in Hong Kong, middle school in China
can't escape the brown, but you know i'm always trying to put a
distance between me and all my heritage
ain't about inheritance, swear i'm all American
sorry i'm repetitive, i don't know if i'm selling it
really insecurity but it come off as arrogance, that's my fault
guess i'm too old now to say i'm still learning
bring the beat back like a cardio surgeon
but you know it's deeper than that, i'm soul searching
swear i try my best, but i don't think it's working
but while i'm on the topic of the best
do you think it's good to put your kids to the test while they're stressed
under pressure you push them to the next and the next
and the next and the next, oh my bad i digress
(i mean, ugh)
i keep mixing my words
not something i'm born with it's something i learned
always interrupted, man, it's really my turn
if i give you respect why is it not returned, womanhood hard as hell
i should say something about it, i probably won't
why you never stand up, what you fighting for
people dependent on your be responsible
lead a march at 17 years old
no, i want to do good, i swear, got hands in my pockets like i don't care
'cause i'm just a kid, can't be superman
in a world where they all act like they better than
listen, i don't need superiority in the conformity
everyone act like they already ready for all of the fame, look
look everybody know my name
but if everyone special then everyone same
now that's just the problem with how we was raised though
no, fair is not the same as equal, there ain't no good, bad, or evil
everybody just a people, trying to get all that they need
so take it or leave it, don't break a sweat
but can't get it out of my head, keeping me up, 3:07
getting too conscious, got to disengage
yeah i'm getting too conscious, disengage
we drown ourselves in all the money and TV shows
celebrity gossip, who dating who
rapping about cars and girls and grills, ay, man, i love the cheap thrills
just post a 'gram, y'all gon' double tap, if you don't i'm not gon' follow back
yeah, when i say it out loud it sound dumb
but it's okay as long as i'm still numb, yeah, yeah
12. Teach Me How to Fill My Soul
i'm not trying to fill my pockets now
i'm just trying to figure me out
no wind, just the cold air of AC nights
don't fill out my stereotype
there's a hunger in your eyes as you exhale smoke
overfilling up to my neck, i think i could choke
and i've been through it all
3 AM searching, teach me how to fill my soul
to the girl in the alley who gets called such a tease
because no one ever sees her begging please
and i wipe the scrapes and the bruises off of my knees
as you stand back smiling, i continue to bleed
oh, no one ever taught me how to live my life right
so i watch everybody do their best to get by
to the man of the hour who just on parole
watch him call out to the river, teach me how to fill my soul
and i've been through it all
all my life searching, teach me how to fill my soul
