I Swear I’m Good
[Instrumental Intro 0:00-1:03]

[Intro: 1:04-1:38]
We don't know it all, we don't know it all
Mmm, yeah
Mmm, yeah, blammo
Stacks, outside
Never mine, never mind
Knowing it all
Before our light shine
Before the limelight
Before we go blind
After dusk, after dawn

[Verse 1: 1:45-2:17]
After I pull out my money, there we go burning the money
After nine, I hurt the hungry
Hurting myself, man it's funny
Never knew it, how to feel, never knew just how to steal
Money, man, they monеy-man, already knew me and feel-
Feeling likе I just waste my life, everyday another strike
Stricken with fear and I might-
I just might catch a bus and leave
So outta place here

[Instrumental Break 1: 2:18-3:21]
[Verse 2: 3:22-4:58]
Uh, never gave up on my dreams
Sensual as they may seem
I just, I just believe in myself, man
Everything is so good, lovely as it may seem
Lonely I am, so to speak
Speak with myself in the mirror, all I see is a blur
Blurry visions with myself, and her on a train, firmly grasping each other
I can't believe it, it's so stupid
My mind is a pattern, and you're all witnessing it
Patterns of deliberately fucking it up
Messing with your mind as it crumbles
Hurry up, time to go
Fuck that shit, n***as know
Killing is a mask for your insecurities, kill and a n***a say "We under scrutiny!"
Government rules, those aren't home
Home isn't a place, it's a person
My home isn't...
Isn't here with us today
Man, how do I continue this?
I'm all here talkin' bout..
Some shit, they gon' think I'm an emo rapper or shit
Let the beat roll

[Instrumental Break 2: 4:59- 5:59]
[Verse 3: 6:00-7:23]
Crumpled up piece of shit
Insecurities rise
Setting myself up for failure
Never knew what a ride was
Killing under these new agendas
Everybody knew good news
Greatness is generic
Free Palestine
Fuck these other people and what they say
Yourself is yourself, don't forget it
Bar after bar after bar
Jealous of my own integrity
Fucking myself up if it mean saving somebody else
Hunting down an animal to save it
Good God, no pressure
Great Depression, no more Lexus
Nearing what they say is the end
Bitches are just like leather
Racism, common lies
Kendrick matured, and I lied
Wrestling my consciousness, Tupac ain't never die
Greatness is subjective, you and I write, Mmm
Extra after Extra, yellow stripes
Brussel sprouts
Table up, table down
Killing machine
We're killing machines
Most dangerous animal in the world
That's us
We don't even what we're doing
We just destroy and destroy
It don't even bother me sometimes, but we still do it
[Instrumental Break 3: 7:24-8:15]

[Verse 4: 8:15-11:40]
Once again, someone control the Earth
We don't know it
Someone kill a black man
We don't know it
Someone kill theyselve
And we don't know it
Acknowledge it, and you're done
We don't know it
Not even the half of it
"Oh you're still young!"
I be feeling 40
Speaking of that, listen to that new Danny Brown LP
He's chill as fuck
Underestimated myself
Pen and paper my best friends, who knew I could write?
My English teacher a bitch
Fuck that class bro, boring as hell ninety percent of the time
Word? Word? Word? Word?
I might go catch a bus later, go somewhere
Visit someone
Don't matter if it's a grave
Who cares?
Ain't nobody really caring for anybody
You don't ever truly know a person
And that's real
Numbing it all
Under these words and these spells
Words lie, people can tell
Hm

[Instrumental Outro: 11:41-12:20]
