It's been constant, I been walking, round like I'm self-conscious All I wanted was acceptance, I am so self-conscious See my fear is relentless so it's hard to be that authentic Can't be the man that I want to be so I Peter Pan, I'm digressing Hiding my true intent, under the covers I choose to just brew in it Moving it out in passive aggression, back to back in incessant phases Of this active repression, lately I been acting so plainly How can they love me if they were to tell, I was nothing but Sensitivity and pretend to be, everyone else but myself And the brevity of when I'm real is the source of my levity Wish I could dip in a pool of serendipity, cause I'm living in bitterness I'm a menace to my peeps, I don't want to hurt nobody else I rather hurt myself, so don't look at me, no no no no I feel ugly and, I know, I know--I got issues interfering With my mission and my errand, on the surface of the earth I won't ever fulfill the purpose of my birth if I hesitate How can I be what I'm made to be if I denigrate the person That I am and never jubilate or celebrate the uniqueness That's embedded in my cells, but I know the fear of man, keeps Me locked in a cell It's been constant, I been walking, round like I'm self-conscious All I wanted was acceptance, I am so self-conscious To live for others, is death I wanna, not be so self-conscious To live for others, is death, I wanna, not be so-self-conscious I do the most when nervousness persists, when they moving close I'm prone to move and drift, captain hook I might abandon ship Walk off the plank and I'm falling and dropping real quick Now I'm sinking and drowning in water, swimming with the fish Looking down, don't really want to see their faces, in a cloud of witnesses I feel degraded, cause I feel they judging me and I know I got no defendant But I see the prosecutor and the jury and the plaintiff Feel like I'm stuck in a loop, so out of touch no masseuse, eagle that's stuck in a coop Way more to me than what you see on the surface, I usually keep to myself I'm alert with the people I'm meeting these days, you never know who can be fake Pretending they love you but deep down inside they be slithering Hissing like snakes, I can feel the tension in the air But that's no excuse to live in fear, intimidated, now I'm frustrated Isolated, syncopated to the beat of my own drum I'm out of tune Got my own rhythm but how can I play in humanity's symphony If I just keep to myself in self-pity and misery, being self-conscious is killing me It's been constant, I been walking, round like I'm self-conscious All I wanted was acceptance, I am so self-conscious To live for others, is death I wanna, not be so self-conscious To live for others, is death, I wanna, not be so-self-conscious I want to know yea I really, really want to know What they think of me when I, when I hit the floor Whoa, oh
