Self-Talk Lyrics

Man

Just been feelin' like

I'm not doing enough

I haven't done enough

Just feelin' like

I'm not enough

Yeah, frequently I'm fallin' apart

Know my words stay sharp like the jaws of a shark

So harsh with the self-talk

Doesn't help lots

It'd be hard for me to tell if I held off

Cause the shame been ingrained in the grooves of my brain

Hardly in a mood to explain, yeah

But I fall into the same damn traps

Tripping on the same damn tasks

Should be hopping out of bed

But I'm hopping on my phone

Confidence and drive know it's dropping like a stone

Scrolling through the feed know it's feeding my fears

Always feeling so behind when I look at my peers yeah

Need a routine, but I'm reckless

Feeling restless, over breakfast

Yeah the day just started but I'm done

Sulk until the setting of the sun

Yeah

I've come so far I see

Still no harmony

The bar so hard to reach

I'm still so hard on me

I want a catalogue worth a couple companies

Want my kids and my crew living comfortably

I want packed out shows

Plan on giving back tryna pass round dough

Put the present on pause while I plot

Yeah noting all the things that I'm not

It's no shock that my days feel shot from the start

Giving all I got still I'm off of the mark

I've come far making marginal gains

But when the going gets hard know it's hard to attain

Yeah, some perspective

Yeah, think I made a mess of the metrics

Cause I invested

Many minutes but they tend to be diminished

I won't take it as a win till my songs got spins

Wishing I was proud of the place that I'm at

And the hours that I gave to my craft

Yeah

I've come so far I see

Still no harmony

The bar so hard to reach

I'm still so hard on me

Yeah

There's something deeper to this drive

Something that's been eating me alive

I ain't living how I wanna

Hard to get a grip cause I'm tripping over trauma

And my worth been defined by my work

So I'm thinking that it's time I reverse

Making sense of the past looking backwards

Instead of tryna make it all come faster
