Pessimistic ft. Bairi Lyrics

Wish the Mothership would swing low already

Heavy is the head with a crown, and I'm at Roc Bottom

Wonder if that sweet chariot could meet me halfway

Dangling legs on the highest ledge, lookin down (Maybe I should…)

Chill, don't jump the gun just yet

Prayed for a sign, precipitation poured as I wept

Kissed my melanin, but it burned like Acid Rain

And to this day I never heard Chance the same

I get it

Sometimes my happiest moment's my greatest downfall

Sometimes I close off myself to stop the outpour

Sometimes, I'm lazy cuz I'm scared of success

And half the times I got it right, I probably

Shrugged my shoulders like I didn't have a clue on how I did this

Messiah steady crossing these liars, but it's the crucifix

Taught Paul to bear the pain for when my death's arranged

Funny how we call those same people pallbearers today

I got too many people dependent on my independence

Have too many notes written to not just speak a sentence

Ain't even gotta be a statement, just say how you feel

And once you do, do not look back, just let that passion spill

I build barriers for the ones that say they love me

Keep 'em arms-length 'cause I'm looking for ways to trust me

I got vendettas for the vendors of my heartbeat

Leasing out my heartstrings

Lauryn killing me softly

Cuz pain is how I relay all the pent up rage inside

Who knew to be alive a piece of you would have to die

Who knew that when you died I would be broken up inside

I guess that death is all I wrote, but in this note you are alive

Say I'm pessimistic

I just know I'm real

Cause to the world I'm just a statistic

They could give a fuck bout how I feel (They could give a fuck bout how I feel)

And it just keeps spinning round & round & round

Taking all I got left 'til there's nothing left

Every day feels like another round

Hit me with the right, left, punch me in my chest

But my mama ain't raise no bitch

But I can't seem to heal

Shit I guess I'm just pessimistic

But I don't know what's real
