Emerge Lyrics by Cheem

Guilty Pleasure (Deluxe Edition)

2022

[Verse 1]
I want so bad to seize my bliss
But when I grab it it always crumbles in my fist
All I’m left with is ignorance
And little bits of glitter stuck on my fingertips
I don’t want to go, I don’t want to do this
Feel it disappearing the second that it’s new, it’s a curse
And the worst part is I really thought
I figured out a way to make it stop
But I’m not that smart, I was never taught
How to keep myself going when the going gets hard
I know what you’re thinking
We’re like, “this will be the one,” but look, the ship’s sinking
I know you don’t understand
But if it’s in sight maybe it’ll fall into my hands
All I need is one chance, if I blow it I’m done
All I ask, all I need, just give me one

[Chorus]
You stay so locked away, I’ve given enough
You want to suddenly emerge to me
You tried to run the way you’ve taken before
You were falling endlessly, endlessly

[Verse 2]
Give me a single reason why I should be
Putting this down and picking up drudgery
If there’s a sign that this was not meant to be
Show me and make me fail catastrophically
Give in to living as one of the many
Admitting I’m nothing and knowing there’s plenty of fools
Just like me, just chasing dreams
Unattainable and basic as they may be
If it’s one in a million it’s us, baby
I’ll never give in, I’ll never recede
I’ll lose all my cash, I’ll lose my beliefs, I’ll die on the streets
I’m a legend and I’ll never get told
Fuck that, I’m a god and I’ll never get old
One day you’ll hear this and wonder how I knew
And Imma look real stupid if it ain’t the truth
But I’m making up my mind, put it all on the line
Pushing all my chips in, I’m about to get mine

[Bridge]
Don’t believe in it now, but then later you find
There’s no room in the crowd on the wagon we ride
Drive alone just for now, carve a path with no signs
I just know it’s about time

[Chorus]
You stay so locked away, I’ve given enough
You want to suddenly emerge to me
You tried to run the way you’ve taken before
You were falling endlessly, endlessly

[Post-Chorus]
I’m cool when I wanna be
Smart when I wanna be
Strong when I’m smart when
I’m cool when I wanna be
Smart when I wanna be
Strong when I’m smart when
I’m cool when I wanna be
Smart when I wanna be
Strong when I’m smart when
I’m cool when I wanna be
Smart when I wanna be

[Outro]
I’m cool when I wanna be
Smart when I wanna be
Strong when I’m smart when
I’m cool when I wanna be
Smart when I wanna be
Strong when I’m smart when
I’m cool when I wanna be
Smart when I wanna be
Strong when I’m smart when
I’m cool when I wanna be
