Thumbtack Lyrics

Thumbtack, the way that I'm pushing

Poked a hole in the theories, then flipped over the cushion

No one really understands, keep them guessing & looking

They probably wanna see me fall, like some books without bookends

That's cool, it wasn't really unexpected

Double negatives proved a positive lesson

Independent thinker with a music obsession

Not known to flaunt, not really bout flexing

Bent out of shape, towards the straight & the narrow

Too much on my plate, it didn't seem fair though

Felt so fake, basically just a scarecrow

The world shot me down, like a bow & an arrow

Started from a stop, but I picked up the pace

Time to start over and build up my case

Fifteen years since I discovered my purpose

What a journey, so imperfectly perfect

Make a push, like a thumbtack

Got knocked down, made a comeback

Felt so low, rose above that

Adding up, never subtract

Make a push, like a thumbtack

Got knocked down, made a comeback

Felt so low, rose above that

Adding up, never subtract

Subtracted the doubts

X's & O's, the way I analyzed routes

Broke down what I felt my life was about

Made the repairs, I figured it out

I'm out of excuses

Know I can do this

Know I can't lose this

The shoe fits, so I gotta wear it

Grow like carrots, in the underground is where I stay

Don't really ball, I've never owned a pair of J's

I'm my own flavor, made my own marinade

The only thing that I'm losing is my hair today

Honest with myself, high on self-awareness

Well calculated but at times I'm kind of careless

Still a kid at heart, but I'm looking like a parent

Early on my journey just tryna gain some merit

Make a push, like a thumbtack

Got knocked down, made a comeback

Felt so low, rose above that

Adding up, never subtract

Make a push, like a thumbtack

Got knocked down, made a comeback

Felt so low, rose above that

Adding up, never subtract

Make a push, like a thumbtack

Got knocked down, made a comeback

Felt so low, rose above that

Adding up, never subtract

Make a push, like a thumbtack

Got knocked down, made a comeback

Felt so low, rose above that

Adding up, never subtract
