LYRICS:
i’m lonely. i could turn a W to an L
i’m lonely. i could take something wonderful make it hell
i been tryna fill a void i don’t understand i don’t know its shape
eyes closed tryna fit different shit in this empty space/
to no avail, i’m lonely it’s cold as hell
in the part of my soul where love and the noble notions dwell
I’m lonely, i don’t get what i’m looking for but i search on
tryna make a map of places where I’ve never gone /
i’m lonely. shit ain’t everybody?
i wash my head with this human condition, but i don’t feel cleansed i feel lonely yo
been avoiding time with myself, and now i owe me though
every time we together i focus on something phony/
i’m lonely, but i don’t wanna settle
sometimes i’d rather be unhappy than to be alone
tell myself i need to bone but truth is that i need a home
i been rationalizing time that’s spent with people that don’t inspire me/
bein’ lonely sucks I’m startin to lose my spirit’s trust
scared of what i want i been starting to fear my lust
if i can’t tell myself the whole truth than the lyrics must
like i should come here to stroke but i know i came here to bust/
man-made most of my woes be
feel like we do half what we do ‘cause we bored, we just be lonely
i feel like most people’d rather use me than to know me
i feel like I’m a bitch cuz i got it good but be feeling bad/
And cockiness is just fear in drag
i see a lot of Ru Pauls of emotions
i say i ain’t judgin’ a lot, but i do and i know it
wish i was more easy going, maybe i wouldn’t feel lonely/
But sometimes we aint inclined to be the men we wanna be
Like shit, without this critical lens, i couldn’t see
but i don’t know, cuz theres a lot of things i thought i couldn’t be
and I’m starting to become all them, maybe theres hope for us/
this the most self involved and the most communal rhyme
we all in search of people who can relate
their absence negative space, shit without em there is no alone
so i know they out their fo’ me or i wouldn’t feel lonely/
i remember, when it wasn’t cool to feel lonely
then somewhere along the way kid cudi made it ok
but now we fetishize it it’s a style to be tried n’
take this pill if you don’t like it, you don’t have to feel lonely/
And that aint never been me, but i aint that far
buzz buzz goes the sound of the anti-depressant
notifications, i’ma need me three grams of some mentions
tell me you like the online me so the real me don’t feel so lonely/
I’m jus being real homie, this aint a sad song
this ain’t a mad song, but i do worry
‘cause, i been tryna write some next level shit lately
and this is it, so I’m scared that my loneliness makes me/
like do i need it to shine, what if i leave it behind
will i die young if i continue to just bleed from my mind
And i, guess thats something only time can show me
For now i gotta go, shit i’m late to meet the homies. lonely

Good work bruddah

[@jusone4271]

Youre a very talented young man/artist .. Much respect from 617-978

[@AMetalWorld]

Artists rarely do heavier stuff like this at live performances. It’s a hard thing to pull off in a concert/festival atmosphere. Daps for even attempting this much less actually following through and killing it as usual People get weird about this stuff killing the vibe in live environments but I would’ve loved this if I was there personally haha

[@thebigoaktree8401]

Those that do don’t know self, or avoid emotions because they are afraid of the weight of those feelings (truth of self knowledge). He who engages and feels all of his emotions is a gift and boon to the world. Seek out the same. The weight of sadness and loneliness has led many a man to an early death. But with acceptance and courage we are equipped to live through and grow from what we feel. Right? Lesson 1: If your people ridicule you for how ever you feel then find new people. Because your people they are not.

[@joseleyrebelo]

People may not know how much this takes to write into a message, the understanding of the world and me in it, top tier Hip Hop.
