The Manipulator (feat. 1DDR)

Why you trippin' over me?
Girl just leave, drag your feet
Tears like running down my cheeks
Oh woah oh
I can't hear when you speak
Poison drink, you made for me
The way you left me broken

The ones that killed X should never see the daylight
How 'bout the ones that every night make you contemplate your life?
People allowed to push you far as your limits and its fine
But when you kill yourself that's when they draw the line?
When it's too late, and you finally meet your fate
Your mother out here crying, she just thought you were coming home late
And I pray that it won't happen to me
It'll only further hurt my fractured family
I thought I was doing the right thing, I truly did
But they couldn't look past the fact that I was just a kid
I said some stupid shit, I dated the wrong girl
Got cancelled at my school and got sent on a downward spiral
Lost a lot of people who I thought were gon' be lifelong riders
But when given the choice?
Most took the side of hers
Hashtag Me Too'd, that's what they call it
A victim of the race and gender I was born into

But I never meant to
Am I the manipulator that they look to?
Did I really do what they say I do?
Am I the manipulator that they look to?

I never thought I'd fall so far
Locked inside he screams in the dark
Take me home babe, take me home
Trynna fix my purple heart

Only 17 when they stabbed the dagger in
I was trying to apologise for made up sins
I was trynna be, who you wanted me to be
But I couldn't take the pressure of lesser people judging me
Too hurtful, and too controversial
I wanna be myself but too many people can't accept that
(What the fuck?) Is that even music?
I've made what I want cause in reality its therapeutic
I'm the Auckland boy, outcast is the kid you see
Growin' in the south my mother told me I should always be me
Friends and mentors, people I trust
Chris Boden was the only man who gave me a chance
(Four bands!)
Spent that in four days
(All bands!)
They'll never take a hip-hop gig
Growing big, light a cig, they been smokin' since they kids
I'm writing my history while I still get to live

I never thought I'd fall so far
Locked inside he screams in the dark
Take me home babe, take me home
Trynna fix my purple heart
I never thought I'd fall so far
Locked inside he screams in the dark
Take me home babe, take me home
Trynna fix my purple heart

Why you trippin' over me?
Girl just leave, drag your feet
Tears like running down my cheeks
Oh woah oh
I can't hear when you speak (woah, oh oh)
Poison drink, you made for me (woah, oh oh)
The way you left me broken (woah, oh, oh)

Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Never let you go, go
Burn it in fire, yeah
Burn it fire
Yeah
