About the song
Kinda about loneliness, self-consciousness, stuff like that. I was partially inspired by Barry Sanders, who was an iconoclast in professional football because he wouldn't celebrate extravagantly after every touchdown or play flashy, he just let his tremendous talent do the trash talking. Sanders was slightly pariahed because of his unusual humility and enlightenment, but he just kept doing his thing and was proud of what he was.
Lyrics
I’m the lone wolf who raps by himself in the moonlight
When others roam in packs I walk paths alone in the night

18 years of my life it’s been, a emotional roller coaster
I’ve done a ton of reflection, though I know I’m not supposed to
Don’t think about how others view you, or so I’ve read
But I always doubt if others are feeling my style, so I grow stiff and antagonize instead
My ways have thrown me astray from being socially boundless
What a curse, to always be this f***ing self-conscious

I’m the lone wolf who raps by himself in the moonlight
When others roam in packs I walk paths alone in the night
I’m the lone wolf who raps by himself in the moonlight
When others roam in packs I walk paths alone in the night

I could lie to myself and say I have a lot of blessings
But yo let’s be real, no one ever became a success by lying
If you don’t feel me, then please show me what I did wrong
I’m not perfect, was born with frailty and tended to get nauseous
My body is not Adonis and I’m not exactly whipped cream with the opposite sex either
I don’t like to do sh*** most kids do cuz I’m afraid I’ll be just like the masses
My rare moments of happiness, they’re like diamonds that shine and reflect light off my spiritual mirrors
Those are the peaks, the times I still live for
F*** it, tomorrow we should get together and start the game over, keeping our own score

I’m the lone wolf who raps by himself in the moonlight
When others roam in packs I walk paths alone in the night

I’m the lone wolf who raps by himself in the moonlight
When others roam in packs I walk paths alone in the night
I’m the lone wolf who raps by himself in the moonlight
When others roam in packs I walk paths alone in the night
