LYRICS

I don’t like myself too much
I don’t want what’s best for my health
I don’t got no plans dunno why I keep to myself
cus I don’t like people so leave me alone

I’m grand I got shit that’s stressing me out everyday
and I don’t get paid enough for these raps
everybody wanna chat mad shit about me
but don’t say shit when it comes right back

that’s funny lads a dummy Humpty Dumpty
when I leave him where’s he’s left at
with his egg cracked never see me with a setback
just to step back when they say their the best

nah I don’t get that pissed off
with a pen better chop both hands barbaric
plus im Irish I’m just saying I’m both
Conans been doing this shit since 98
being a piece of shit man there's a price to pay

up all night I been putting in the work
since none of them gave me the time of day
empty belly no food in the fridge
rain came down quick when the roof came in
I don’t got no future things look bleak
so I drink most days man shits intense

I remember the quotation mark good old days
but I been troubled from the start god knows it’s been hard
tryna keep this faith I’d rather be dead and buried
with a curse then try live this way
it’s funny when I hear them laugh at my expense

but I don’t think they would if they only knew the price I pay
tryna figure out myself still up for debate
give a fuck about validation from opinions of people I hate
maybe I’m too cautious never made moves
weighing up my problems sleep all day on the couch

got no ambitions just wishes and a crumpled up bucket list
fuck it things been going downhill so much
I fall back on being self destructive as a crutch
cus I know it’s easier to give up
then get up not knowing who’s a friend

somebody you can trust
it’s all good till they figure out
why the bigger the smaller the frame
you sick of the snakes disguised in plain sight
nothing to do where I’m from except watch the paint dry
