Doesn't seem to
Go the way I
Want it to but
I will get there
I'm wasting away (Wasting my days)
Stuck in my mind, stuck in my ways
Trapped in my thoughts (Stuck in this place)
Wasting my days (Wasting away)
I'm wasting away (Wasting my days)
Working the hardest for minimal pay
And I put in the effort for minimal gain
I'm tryna have faith in this place but I feel like I'm wasting away
I don't think I'll make it outside today
I know that I said I would yesterday
I know that I said I'd pattern up today
But it's already the middle of the day
I go through the cycles, when will it end?
I think that I'm free, go through it again
I pick up the pen, I write it all down
A way to deal with all these thoughts in my head
Like I ain't good enough (But you'll never be good enough)
And they're watching me fail (But they don't even care as much)
The standard I set for myself is above
Anything I could realistically touch
Can't do this alone, the bros are a must
I say that I'm fine, they're calling my bluff
Encourage my spirit, they're lifting me up
But life can be tough, and these days I feel like I'm wasting away
(Wasting my days)
Stuck in my mind, stuck in my ways
Trapped in my thoughts (Stuck in this place)
Wasting my days (Wasting away)
I'm wasting away (Wasting my days)
Working the hardest for minimal pay
And I put in the effort for minimal gain
I'm tryna have faith in this place but I feel like I'm wasting away (I want)
Stuck in my mind (To be) stuck in my ways
Trapped in my thoughts (Better)
Wasting my days (For You)
I'm wasting away (But I)
Working the hardest (Never) for minimal pay
And I put in the effort (Seem to) for minimal gain
I'm tryna have faith (Get there) in this place but I feel like I'm wasting away
That's why I come back every couple of years
Consistency brings with it way too much fear
What if I just do what I love and they hate it
And no longer wanna put me in their ears?
And I ain't gone clear
Wish I had security so I could justify all of this lack of ambition
I wish that my people could rest in the knowledge
That I could secure them with stable provision
But the guy with the money ain't me tho
Wish I was in green but I see "low"
Balance whenever I check it
The benefits, I was expected to reap those
Never the less I'mma be generous
And give not expecting no benefits
I know that I'll see better days
But lately I been feeling like I been wasting away
(Wasting my days)
Stuck in my mind, stuck in my ways
Trapped in my thoughts (Stuck in this place)
Wasting my days (Wasting away)
I'm wasting away (Wasting my days)
Working the hardest for minimal pay
And I put in the effort for minimal gain
I'm tryna have faith in this place but I feel like I'm wasting away (I want)
Stuck in my mind (To be) stuck in my ways
Trapped in my thoughts (Better)
Wasting my days (For You)
I'm wasting away (But I)
Working the hardest (Never) for minimal pay
And I put in the effort (Seem to) for minimal gain
I'm tryna have faith (Get there) in this place but I feel like I'm wasting away
