Uh, I know what you want
But I know just how to find it
It seems to me you've tried your best just to hide it
Don't worry 'bout me
Either way, I'm shining
The purpose to be is who I am
Let's take it back
I was just a kid but I wanted a Maybach
They sent me to school but I wanted to stay back
Ignored all the tools that I needed to pay back
It just isn't real
I think and I just fade to black
I know what it means to be someone you not
I know what it means to give up and try it
I know what it seems, but you just don't know at all
The purpose to be is who I am
Let's take it back
Buzz him in the door
That's your direction
Paid to stand up tall and be the lesson for the reckless
Void yourself of any thoughts
Excess can spell the ending
And push them out in front of iron arms with no resentment
Every face that comes in
They all rotate a message
Picking up on signals
'Til they're all you're making friends with
Force out any questionable facade
The act is wearing off
You're first to go when it gets hectic
When facing life's spite
Act as the fall guy
Who takes his pride behind the bars
That's where your help lies
When facing life's spite
Act as the fall guy
Who takes his pride behind the bars
That's where your help lies
Uh-uh-uh-uh
I know what you want
But I know just how to find it
It seems to me you've tried your best just to hide it
Don't worry 'bout me
Either way, I'm shining
The purpose to be is who I am
Let's take it back
I was just a kid but I wanted a Maybach
They sent me to school but I wanted to stay back
Ignored all the tools that I needed to pay back
It just isn't real
I think and I just fade to black
(I know what it means to be someone you not)
(I know what it means to give up and try it)
(I know what it seems, but you just don't know at all)
(The purpose to be is who I am)
(Let's take it back)
Back-a-back-back
But I wanted a Maybach
Back-a-back-back
But I wanted to stay back
Back-a-back-back
Tools I needed to pay back
Back-a-back-back
Think and I just fade to black
I was just a kid but I wanted a Maybach
They sent me to school but I wanted to stay back
Ignored all the tools that I needed to pay back
It just isn't real
I think and I just-
I was just a kid but I wanted a Maybach
They sent me to school but I wanted to stay back
Ignored all the tools that I needed to pay back
It just isn't real
I think and I just fade to black
