And the World Is a Mess

• Written by 

I used to think the world was great
 
But everyone was in a bad state
 
And the world wants to take the things you love away
 
Just how it made people's heartbreak
 
And I admit, my life wasn't good
 
And I swear, for a while, I lived in the hood
 
I had nowhere to go, I shouldn't have
 
Life was bad, I was depressed and sad
 
Wanted to turn back and backtrack
 
I hated living like that
 
And I admit I fucked up really bad
 
I miss you so much Mom, fuck my dad
 
He was the worst dude, wish he'd get off the crack
 
So I would have a good life, I wouldn't have anything to rap
 
About, everyone would doubt me, nobody would allow me
 
To see the real world 'cause they down me
 
They hated bein' around me, I hated theme, they wanted to drown me
 
They tryna clown me, talkin' trash about me
 
Tryna go on without me, life was tryna hurt me
 
There was never we, it was just me
 
I hated everyone, they couldn't trust me
 
They'd misjudge me, and never love me
 
Never instruct me in the right direction, they'd interrupt me
 
And it disgusts me, never hugged me
 
Never would help they'd call me a dummy
 
The world was messed up, it wasn't funny
 
I fuckin' had no money, uh
 
And the world is a mess, I tried my best
 
And the world is a mess, it would make me hurt
 
The world would never support me, it would hurt me
 
And the world is a mess, I started talkin' less
 
And the world is a mess, and I was under a lot of stress
 
Depressed on the set, lost all my progress
 
And the world is a mess, nobody gets me, I wasn't blessed
 
Here we are, playin' chess, see a girl in a red dress
 
She talks to me, I tried my best
 
Little did I know I would regret
 
And the world is a mess, and she recorded everything I said
 
She sent it to my fake friends
 
And the world is a mess, and I was broken, upset
 
She was fake just like my life again
And the world is a mess, everyone would try to change the subject
 
And the world is a mess, when I walked in, everyone would disrespect
 
And the world is a mess, lookin' at me laughin', sayin' I have nothing left
 
And the world is a mess, and I'd never get there yet
 
And the world is a mess, and I would never be a success
 
And the world is a mess, tell me why I'm a reject
 
And the world is a mess, wish me and my friends never met
 
They never defend or protect they offend and send threats
 
They browse the internet, and they always neglect
 
They do bets to get money, see the sunset
 
The world is unfair, it's a nightmare
 
I always would get kicked off of teams
 
Seemed like nobody loved me
 
The world was against me
 
They tryna pressure me, stressin' me
 
Wipin' my memory, and my treasuries
 
And the rest of me, they're more than I can ever be
 
That's a fact, they don't even remember me
 
They think I'm cool now, they'll forever be
 
A bad part of me, "pardon me, you startled me!"
"What's your name boy? Don't dishearten me"
 
I say my name, they say, "Oh nice name! Oh yeah, what do you play"
I say, "I play games a lot of games, how can you not remember me?"
 
"What do you mean?" they say to me
 
"Don't act confused, you know who I am, I know you"
 
"So tell me why the fuck you think I'm cool"
"Back when we were in school you called me a fool"
 
"Now you come here, don't remember me, and break my rules"
 
They say, "Rules? Nah man, it's not like that, don't be so cruel!"
 
I say, "Don't fuckin' talk to me saying that shit, wanna have a dual?"
 
They say "Woah woah woah, don't be so brutal!"
 
I say "Fuck off bro if you ain't gonna be truthful"
 
They say, "Sorry bro, I know you're youthful"
 
I'm sick of it
 
And the world is a mess, I wasn't ready but I said yes
 
And the world is a mess, I feel like I can't express
 
My feelings, there's a lot of stress on my chest
 
Fall like the rest, failin' a test, super stressed
 
Trying to help myself but it fails so I become depressed even more
 
And the world is a mess, what am I living for?
And the world is a mess, I was poor
 
And the world is a mess, kickin' down the doors
 
And the world is a mess, I was for sure
 
And the world is a mess, dyin' in this world on the floor
 
And the world is a mess, tryna figure out what this feeling is
 
And the world is a mess, I've never had it before
 
And the world is a mess, washed up into shore
 
So I explore, I'm becomin' mature
 
My heart still can't be restored
 
But I don't care about them anymore
 
I was never theirs, I was never yours
 
Shed a tear, insecure, yeah
 
And the world is a mess, I'm trying to get far
 
And the world is a mess, behind all these big stars
 
And the world is a mess, and for years, my friend was behind bars
 
And the world is a mess, loved him with my heart
 
And the world is a mess, my fake friends took that and ripped it apart
 
And the world is a mess, can't believe I didn't notice this from the start
 
And the world is a mess, they said, "You fucked up so hard"
All I did was try to avoid you, yeah
 
I got so many things to worry about
 
Like criminals, people who use people for clout
 
So many more to name, so many more to find out
 
I'm wonderin', how do I get out?
 
I said that out loud
 
I need to get out, this isn't working out
 
I am not close now, they turn me down
 
I scream and shout
 
I gotta slow down
 
My life's upside down
 
People badmouth, people taking the wrong route
 
People who doubt, life is turnin' south
 
People who I'm around, people who are in my town
 
Life is foul, it makes me frown
 
I cannot get out
 
Can you help me now?
 
Why do people stare at me and say "Wow"
 
Am I really that ugly? Raisin' eyebrows
 
Will this ever work out? Can I stop it now?
