Generate meaning
1
[Verse 1 - Rittz:]
2
Self, self-pity, self-self pity
3
Why the fuck is everybody else giddy?
4
I woke up and felt shitty
5
Matter fact I've felt the same all week
6
Let down on my last album on the shelf sitting
7
And I think I might need, help getting out of bed
8
Cause I'm here and I keep, spinning on a thread
9
I'm my own worst critic, and I gotta write a album
10
But I keep hating on my self, it's like I get obsessed
11
Cause I hate what I write, say-say something tight
12
I be thinking too much wondering what they gonna like
13
I don't got a lot of fans, I'm afraid that I might
14
Let 'em down if what I make don't relate to them right
15
If it don't, then they ain't gonna buy my record
16
And if my second doesn't sell better than the last
17
I'mma owe the record label cash
18
So it's hard to relax and write raps
19
I be losing concentration sometimes
20
I look at what they sayin' online
21
Somebody unfollow me and call me out cause I ain't respond
22
I'm behind on my dead-line, and I got a home life
23
To juggle ain't no free-time
24
My manager callin' up, "what you got another deep song?
25
What is it this time, your lady, or struggle trying to be something?"
26
Not in the mood to write a weed song
27
I'm sitting giving myself a mental beat-down when I rap
28
[Chorus - Rittz:]
29
I'm my own worst enemy the energy I have's a waste
30
Cause I use it battling myself cause I'm a basket case
31
(Da, da, da, da) I'm a basket case
32
(Da, da, da, da) I'm a basket case
33
Lookin' at this glass of whiskey, wishin' I would pass away
34
But I'm always wishing for the worst cause I'm a basket case
35
(Da, da, da, da) I'm a basket case
36
(Da, da, da, da) I'm a basket case
37
[Verse 2:]
38
I can have conversation with rappers
39
I'm not an asshole to anyone unless I have a reason to be
40
But God forbid, if they ever had a buzz, or a name
41
Then I feel like we are equal, and these dudes always want a feature for free
42
I try to network and help 'em out, I just gave 'em a tweet
43
But I'm starting to wonder if the shoe was on the other foot
44
Would these motherfuckers do the same favor for me?
45
But, on the other hand, people think I'm all famous
46
I ain't as paid as you think, when I tell 'em the price is
47
To get me on a record they are like it's too expensive just to pay me a G
48
And I'm starting to feel guilty
49
Cause I'm known as the guy who never quit and never gave up his dreams
50
So I'm watching dudes tell me that I gave 'em motivation
51
Not to quit and they gon' try and do the same thing as me but
52
Only difference is, I spent fifteen plus years studying my favorite MCs
53
So I kept getting better some of y'all ain't got it, can't hear it, what is blatant to me
54
And I don't want to hurt they feelings so I tell 'em that the music that they makin' is tight
55
But your image looks bad, and you suck, and you need to give up, and you're wasting your life
56
And it's all my fault... damn
57
[Chorus]
58
[Verse 3:]
59
They tell me that I need to tweet more, but I feel kinda immature, typing my thoughts online
60
Plus some fans that I got would probably hate me if they knew what type of shit that crossed my mind
61
Cause I hate rap
62
Let me take that back, I just hate whack rappers for the most part
63
Even though I rap fast, I don't like when people try to impress me with double-time
64
And they be swearing that they go so hard
65
They don't really even say shit
66
Anyone can rhyme, thinking that drinking and synching
67
The song I'm making, them figures dope, it ain't about the speed
68
You gotta make it make sense
69
And did I mention that I really hate fake fans?
70
I don't understand how one minute, everyone could be on your dick and they say you hot
71
A year later, the same fan steady be talkin' shit 'bout the rapper, actin' like they forgot
72
That's how the shit works
73
First they love you, then they hate you, then they love you again, you gotta toughen your skin
74
This kinda shit hurts
75
This music industry is dumb, dumber than the comments on YouTube
76
Sayin' that I use the N-Word? (Hell Naw)
77
I don't rap like that, I don't hang around white boys who act like that
78
I done said too much, 'bout to snap, I'm mad
79
At the world, even I don't really have my back when I rap it's like... damn
80
[Chorus]
