Shakedown Lyrics by Expose Toxicc

A Piece of Me

2022

I had a mental break down
Now I need a break now
I be sitting on my feelings
Like a fucking shakedown
Throwing shade all around
Calling everybody clowns
A full circle of destruction
While I'm hopping out my character
I had a mental break down
Now I need a break now
I be sitting on my feelings
Like a fucking shakedown
Throwing shade all around
Calling everybody clowns
A full circle of destruction
While I'm hopping out my character

You're looking at a star from an impossible dream
A little something I envisioned since I was 13
I ain't make it through school
I had to drop out as a teen
But when I made it to college
I made sure I was a dean
And now they wanna love me
Cause they see what I'm up on
If you knew where I was from
There's nothing to laugh on
Eating cereal every meal
Momma was not home
Working two jobs just to keep the lights on
Boiling water on the stove
Bills were over due
Sleeping in our winter coats is something that they never knew
They just drown in my success
They too scared I'm up next
I show love to true artist
Separating from the rest
Yet I ain't ever see my folks die
But there's been so many deaths
I wish god could bring them back
So they can see me at my best
But no matter how many times
I punch a hole in my chest
My thoughts are too weak
For me to walk away from the rest

And now I got to carry on
And now I got to find a way to carry on
It's like everyone's brand new
And they won't give you respect till you're gone
Its the same old song
And if you think I'm wrong
They gone judge you where your from
But at some point you got to feel that
The fear is gone

I had a mental break down
Now I need a break now
I be sitting on my feelings
Like a fucking shakedown
Throwing shade all around
Calling everybody clowns
A full circle of destruction
While I'm hopping out my character
I had a mental break down
Now I need a break now
I be sitting on my feelings
Like a fucking shakedown
Throwing shade all around
Calling everybody clowns
A full circle of destruction
While I'm hopping out my character
