Background Lyrics by Mesus

Background- Single

2022

[Intro]
Yeah
Sometimes, I'm not sure if people really, fully, fully, understand
How, how close to the edge I get, G
This ain't just lyrics, dawg

[Verse1]
Lookin' back, now
I can clearly see, like a rearview mirror, exactly how
I push the people who mean the most, who come the closest right back out, back out, back out
My life black out these lights, I think I'll take a nap, now
And when I wake up, I'll make up with everyone who mad, now

[Verse 2]
But for now, I'm in Dream World
Shamu here, I'm in Sea World
Big fish in a small pond, while I'm at it, let's see how many girls
Hearts I can shatter into a million pieces
'Cause I'm a rock star, changin' timezones, ain't got no time for your feelings

[Verse 3]
Jesus, I need you to take the lead in me and delete in me
Whatever's keepin' me, from actin' decently
'Cause recently, I'm noticin' this beast in me
Is eatin' me alive, and I'm about to die, if you ain't bleepin' me

[Verse 4]
See, it be shit like that, the people see, and wanna beef with me
Like, oh, you hear his lyrics, I don't even think that he believe
God forbid, I take a minute to be honest and try my best
To express how much all the stress of this is griefing me

[Verse 5]
'Cause, I really don't know what it is or what it ain't, about me
But I promise you, this chasin' rich is gonna make you drowsy
So here it goes, time to admit, out loud, I been a lousy
Friend and a family member, ever since I headed down the

[Verse 6]
Path that I'm on, and I've been livin', like it never haunt me
Well, here it is, son of a bitch, I guess it finally caught me
Maybe, it's people in this business, that'd hang around me
Either way, whatever it is, somethin' done changed about me

[Verse 7]
'Cause, I used to be so full of love, now I'm just full of shit
Not all the time, 'cause when I'm jottin' rhymes, truth all you get
Other than that, I bottle it all up, turn the bottles up, while I swallow down
So now, I'm drunk, turn the volume up, while jottin' down

[Verse 7]
My feeling that I bury, 'til I make it to the top
But what's the point of makin' it there, if the top is all you got
For years, I pushed so many people to the background
Had tunnel vision, now, I see it and I want 'em back, now

[Verse 8]
I said, "I'm done", a hundred times, that's why life is one of one
I wrote a hundred rhymes, just to get one number one
And in the process, I forgot who really number one
I pushed my whole life to the background, look at what I've done

[Verse 9]
I said, "I'm done", a hundred times, life is one of one
I wrote a hundred rhymes, just to get one number one
And in the process, I forgot who really number one
Who really number one?
