4 My Therapist Lyrics

I hate when I'm misunderstood

Or made to feel like I'm a child as if I'm under you

Dismissing how I feel, trampled under foot

Like what i'm saying's half baked or maybe undercooked

Fuck what you assume, my birth would be the fucking proof

It took my mother sixteen to push me out the oven, truth

Now i'm penning sixteens to push me up above the roof

But can't deny it's hard when it don't really feel like it's been cutting through

Yeah, I'm tryna do my best bruv

Heart and soul in every song, recording with my chest up

Fire emoji, fire emojis always coming back

Saying they'll be checking for the next one

Couple songs later, so generic when the text comes

Wonder if they even heard the song but still don't pester

Unsolicited advice, telling me I'm doing too much

But contradicting all the experts

Make me feel like I've been getting so defensive

I put my spirit in these lyrics so excuse me if I feel the need to mention

What's setting off these headaches, not just shoulder pain

It's like a whole 'nother weight that's causing all this tension

This game will have you redefining friendships

Running far from people acting like he's so sensitive

Cuz I really take pride in my penmanship

So fuck off with your lies and pretend and shit

Tired of people lying in their sentences

Knowing they'll respect me when I'm hella rich

And say that they've been rocking with me ever since

Feeling all this bitterness, won't let it win

Tired of people lying in their sentences

Knowing they'll respect me when I'm hella rich

And say that they've been rocking with me ever since

I should send this shit to my therapist

I get touchy when I feel like people miss the point

Then proceed to misinterpret me

It's the curse of being shy and introverted, seen

A certain way that's different to the version beaming back

When I observe the being living in my mirror

It's absurd I mean

I know why, only now in my adult life

The lone child inside of my community with dark skin

But when I'm with my own kin

They're acting like I'm so white

Even now when I get passionate

Believe, they still be acting like my tone light

I'd like to think I've grown, right

But my old mind it creeps in, still tryna to appease them

Regardless if it's knowing it's been told lies

I've seen the treatment of my people but with light skin

And I've been seen as like them

By some, get triggered by these people

Who remind me of some white saviour type friends

Don't talk to me like you think you're above me

Cuz you would be so lucky

Looking like me and to have a quarter of my heritage

And lineage of excellence and beautiful complexions and

I know that I'm

Ah… jumping to extremes but I need it to repeat and say I love me

Certain wrongs i've felt and now I'm righting them by writing this

And moving past the fuckery

Guess that's why I'm catting for respect

Throw my hat into that ring

Gotta prove it to myself

That it's pure magic that I bring, yeah

Tired of people lying in their sentences

Knowing they'll respect me when I'm hella rich

And say that they've been rocking with me ever since

Feeling all this bitterness, won't let it win

Tired of people lying in their sentences

Knowing they'll respect me when I'm hella rich

And say that they've been rocking with me ever since

I should send this shit to my therapist
