Headphone

(album: Take Me Home - 2019)

Everybody's out here to make it
Everybody's out in this war
Whatever happened to the creating
Whatever happened to making art
Remember having no expectations
Remember when you followed your heart
I'm just another kid in the basement
Writing love songs

So I, I, do I gotta fit the profile
I don't even wanna know how
I'd rather run it on my own

'Cause no one's gonna love you like I do
They ain't gonna call it like I would
I put my headphone back on for good
And I'ma let go, let go of you
I'd rather be irrelevant for you
Than to fake it 'cause I wanted to be cool
I put my headphone back on for good
And I'ma let go, let go of you

I apologize for my language
And I don't wanna blame anyone
But what the fuck was going on?
Do we forget about it all?
Remember getting goosebumps from your own songs
Only grace left from your own mom
You don't owe this shit to anyone
So remember where you're coming from

So I, I, do I gotta fit the profile
I don't even wanna know how
I'd rather run it on my own

'Cause no one's gonna love you like I do
They ain't gonna call it like I would
I put my headphone back on for good
And I'ma let go, let go of you
I'd rather be irrelevant for you
Than to fake it 'cause I wanted to be cool
I put my headphone back on for good
And I'ma let go, let go of you

To my rhymers, here's to my writers
You ain't gotta do it for the numbers
Just do it for you
Yeah you gotta do it for you

To all my sisters and all my brothers
You ain't gotta do it for the numbers
Just do it for you
Yeah you gotta do it for you

No, like I do
They ain't gonna call it like I would
I put my headphone back on for good
And I'ma let go, let go of you
I'd rather be irrelevant for you
Than to fake it 'cause I wanted to be cool
I put my headphone back on for good
And I'ma let go, let go of you
