Sick of talking and expecting you to measure up I don't got the time to waste if you won't level up You're not an angel if you're playing with the devil's love I've seen it happen one too many times and I've had enough I put no faith in the fakes Hard to trust a person if they're scared of making mistakes I'm fulfilling my purpose cause I'm not wasting my grace Complacency will seal your fate if you're not chasing the face of breaking the rules Not trying to be cool Don't need no shiny jewels To prove to you that I'm true I'm as real gets I'm here for music and checks I can show off my strength without ever having to flex My life is a fuckin mess but still I make it work Masetti taught me well, I know it could always be worse Going harder when it hurts So I can reap the love I sow No one can break your spirit when you're the one in control Better know I've been living fine on my island Logging off my life and finding solace in the silence I'm never entertained by the violence Or anything worrisome livin inside of my eyelids I'm smiling without a sound Seeing how much I lost myself was the best thing that I found and now Every single day I'm reminded That I got more than just luck being stuck on my island Nervous that I never would of fit Thought that I'd be better off if I just gave it up and quit Felt like every song I wrote was the farthest thing from a hit The doubt that I had with music bled to everything I did And I dipped into a deeper depression than I intended Grew up in a society so easily offended By the words I would've said if I didn't keep myself quiet And so I reside in silence in the caves beneath my island I would write Creating my own heaven Because of that I haven't rested since 2007 Eleven years in the making My heart was slowly breaking Taking chances when it seemed like all of my options were fading I was patient Sacrificed adolescence for the growth Crazy what you can accomplish when you ditch the hate for hope I needed a place to cope And this island made me see it All those years wishing for change when all I had to do was be it I've been living fine on my island Logging off my life and finding solace in the silence I'm never entertained by the violence Or anything worrisome livin inside of my eyelids I'm smiling without a sound Seeing how much I lost myself was the best thing that I found and now Every single day I'm reminded That I got more than just luck being stuck on my island This world has always tried to skew my placement My concrete decisions allowed my days to not be wasted Chasing what wasn't promised Brothers became dishonest Comets were flying into my ozone dropping composites Of carefully crafted chaos Continuous and redundant My thoughts would have me laying in my coffin always wondering Punching holes in my amygdala Stripping my hippocampus If I would've let it stretch any longer I could've vanished My panic attacks were strong but not strong enough to defeat me Anyone that wants a piece of greatness knows it isn't easy The friends I had to abandon Positions I had to stand in Branded myself to show that nothing that I had was handed I demanded my respect after a decade of commitment Then I quickly saw the value in who does and doesn't listen Cause even if I spend the rest of time up on a shelf I'll be happy when I pass because I did it for myself and no one else I've been living fine on my island Logging off my life and finding solace in the silence I'm never entertained by the violence Or anything worrisome livin inside of my eyelids I'm smiling without a sound Seeing how much I lost myself was the best thing that I found and now Every single day I'm reminded That I got more than just luck being stuck on my island
