burning up Lyrics

Lately, life don't hit the same Why'd things have to change

Everything's changing for the worse And I can't make it work

And I can't take this hurt I just keep burning up

Lately, I've had to force myself to go and hit record

These days, I couldn't even tell you what I do it for

Or really, like, what am I doing at all

Cause the last few months, it felt like I've been losing it all

First the drive, then my will, then my dog

I was searching for my soul and I got lost

I guess nobody's phone works when you're off

I tried to buy my peace of mind, but I ain't know how much it cost

And it's embarrassing how many years I said would be my year

Or the sheer amount of tears I had to shed to just get here

Or the fact that people close loved the shit on my career

If you have a dream, then follow it, watch all your friends disappear

Lately, I've been complaining, wondering if I'll ever make it

Having thoughts that I can't share, I hope I'm strong enough to shake it

The hate for my reflection got me wishing I could change it

But if time's supposed to heal, then I guess I'll keep on waiting

Lately, life don't hit the same Why'd things have to change

Everything's changing for the worse And I can't make it work

And I can't take this hurt I just keep burning up

And lately, stress has got me ripping out all my hair

I thought that I could take the world, but I didn't prepare

For people that say they love you, but their actions wasn't there

Cause they swear they gonna spot you, then they go and pull the chair

Now take a look at what I'm left with, bitterness and resentment

I'm trying to do my best, but what if it's best if I just left it

I don't think I'd even regret it, and I don't know if I ever said this

But I don't do features with other artists cause I always felt rejected

It's always you're too soft, and we prefer you didn't rap

I'm just looking for a heart-to-heart working with someone who understands

And I'm sorry if y'all ain't into that, then I don't need you on my track

I'd rather do this shit by myself, and just leave it at that

They say it's lonely at the top, but I think it's worse in the middle

Because you got enough pieces to know that you can't solve the riddle

It's like you're big enough to have people worried about your next move

But not big enough to be able to tell these people to move

Lately, life don't hit the same Why'd things have to change

Everything's changing for the worse And I can't make it work

And I can't take this hurt I just keep burning up
