'Cause I don't wanna talk

I'd rather die

Before I let you see the real me

You feel me?

I'll let my other side conceal me

Then you'll see

You gotta let me go

Optimism, ain't that s**t funny?

When the world we live in's all 'bout the money, money

Ultra rich, own half of, won't budge it at all

We turn to politicians, hope they'll do something

Feigning altruism, but they do nothing

Crushing lives as they take rights from the people I love

So they'll say "What do we do?"

As if therе's something to choose

We'rе living lives of abuse

All at the hands of a few

I'm asking "What do I do?"

I guess I thought I could choose

Between the art and the views

A stable life to pursue

Obtuse, reduced my character

'Cause I don't wanna talk

I'd rather die

Before I let you see the real me

You feel me?

I'll let my other side conceal me

Then you'll see

You gotta let me go

Jokes on us

They don't give a f*ck about nothing

At all if it don't benefit them all ways

I'll say what's on my mind but it'll get lost

Get lost if you ain't picking it up

The thing 'bout me is I already lost

I dream 'bout peace and a renaissance

I can't show more than i'm letting on

Just know i tried for you

Opened my eyes to this industry, I was mortified

They tryna trip you and f*ck you up on the borderlines

Think imma burn all my bridges and my important ties

I hold my tongue

They hold all the money, money

Go 'round me, used to wish they loved, me loved me

Oh, I know better than that now

Oh, I know better than that now

'Cause I don't wanna talk

I'd rather die

Before I let you see the real me

You feel me?

I'll let my other side conceal me

Then you'll see

You gotta let me go

'Cause I don't wanna talk, I'd rather die

Before I let you see the person I've become

In my pursuit to be someone

I shoulda fuckin' known

You gotta let me go

I tried to let you go

But empathy means nothing when you're scared to be alone

Pick up the f*****g phone
