Past
Verse 1:
I used to be that little kid who
Didn't care at all when I was talking
I didn't like myself, so how
Could the thoughts of anyone be:
"Oh, he's the best" Nah…
That seems wrong to me
The fact that I was pushed against
A wall and no one helped me up and
You think I loved it when
Somebody made me cry often?
I was painfully spiraling my thoughts when
Nobody came around - and truly saw me
You think I sound depressed?
No, I'm not, let me speak the rest!
I'm done with that being that stupid
What I had to do to fit right in
I don't care about none of that
It's burned and gone - let it pass
Now I can just sit back and watch
Peoples thoughts are merely thoughts
Someday you will know my name
And until then - I'll just say:
Hook:
Bye to the past
Cuz no one knows what I can
I will forget all the laughs
Yeah, I won't ever go back
And if you're still thinking that
I am unable to rap
Let's turn the tables - too bad
You know, I'm 'bout to go mad
Verse 2:
You know how people change you
But I'll say I learned to
Tell the difference between the lies and all the bitter truths
If I could go back in time and try and start again
I wouldn't change a thing
That made me who I am
Of course, I had to mask it
Inside I wasn't happy
I'm sure that now I'm different
But back then I missed it
The hate that I was feeling
Was in fact the hate from wishing
I'd be another person
I simply had to learn
That doesn't make it up to me
What I did was tough for me
You thought you were the ones who hurt?
Not the only ones - I don't deserve!
The pure results of self-hatred
You thought they were amazing?!
That's just not the case
And I will live another day to say:
Hook:
Bye to the past
Cuz no one knows what I can
I will forget all the laughs
Yeah, I won't ever go back
And if you're still thinking that
I am unable to rap
Let's turn the tables - too bad
You know, I'm 'bout to go mad
Verse 3:
Now it's all been said and done
Could it really take this long
I just think I like it when I'm dealing with, what I've become
Don't feel sorry for me, I just had to overcome
All that stuff inside me, I truly wanna know it's gone
What I lacked was the fact that it didn't matter when
People said some stuff
I really shouldn't believe in 'em
I'm relieved that all the threats are gone
If someone liked the real me
I thought that I was dreaming
You wouldn't understand
It's not who I was - it's who I am!
And you can state it isn't true
But I know you're relating too
Don't you tell me now - in fact
I won in the aftermath
I lay things down in rap
I just wanna write the facts
Put 'em all in different tracks
So who cares if I lost the past!?
Outro:
I mean where are you minds at?!
When you think I had fun - in fact
I hope you're sleeping well tonight
Knowing you lost in the dead of night
I'll grab tight, keep all my rights and clear my sight
Knowing that I started and ended the fight
I don't even care anymore, you can just stare and look awkward
Now I'm a lyricist - hold up
Did my appearances - blow your
Minds or why did I have to show ya?
Look who's one of the few who stays sober
A new day is dawning, the times of humiliation is over!
