Lyrics
Yeah, Im shackled to these chains Getting marks from the whip Im weak from all this strain Im a slave for perfection Im a slave to the stress Im a slave for expectations that are heavy on my chest Im a slave to the people Im a slave for the check Im a slave to my addictions that I happily collect Yeah, Im a slave to perfection, never satisfied cause I fear the rejection Tryna put aside the doubt in my mind, cause my thoughts gonna lead to obsession Oh no, what do you know? Having these thoughts that Ive been through before Oh no, please let me go Im sick of my mind always being at war Look, tryna make my lane, tryna push my pain (my lane, my pain) Tryna break this chain. Tryna stand in the flames, in the middle of the blaze When Im raising the stakes, while you watch with a gaze Yeah, got my eye on a goal Fly in the sky with a passionate soul (fly, fly fly) Dont wanna lie, my standards are high I wanna deny that my self-esteem low So, do you know where to go when you wanna learn to control your fears? (control your fears) Or do you know where to go when you want your thoughts to disappear? (disappear) I wanna try to survive in this life without having to lose my mind (survive, lose my) Why do I have to go round and round in circles every time I try? Huh Im sick of always having to impress Sick of always having all this stress Sick of my mind, sick of my head, sick of everything Im a slave for perfection Im a slave to the stress Im a slave for expectations that are heavy on my chest Im a slave to the people Im a slave for the check Im a slave to my addictions that I happily collect So, became an introvert cause of stress (cause of the stress) Burning money got my pocket burnt like cigarettes (cigarettes) Nicotine in my breath Smoking like Im Seth Always taking meds cause my head is a mess Gotta keep a straight face, when Im in this rat race (race, race, race) I dont wanna lose when I chase success Hmm, let me think about this I live for the cheese that I get for my tricks Some people live off the bricks getting laid in districts While some people live for the clique You click on like, I feel a bite of blissful dopamine I feel so fine, its so divine, addict for the machines Its fine, go ahead Go and put your life on read Dont gotta read, all right? Got the feed at night Finna be a fiend instead Like a sheep in a flock, we sleep like a rock Counting all the fluff, while they reap all the stock Were all part of the game, no one else to be blamed Its a real damn shame what they do to our brain Huh Were all slaves, slaves to the world What a shame, were going to burn
