Crowded Lyrics by Rika (NYC)

A New York Love Affair

2019

*Talking*

What a great day
Man, I’m just so grateful...
I love my friends I love my life
(All I see is pain and strife)
I really just love myself, you know
(I can’t fuckin stand myself)
I just know I was born to shine and I’m goin places
Even when times are tough, I’ll make it through, I’m strong
(Why can’t life just be easier for everyone?)
Yeah..today is a great day
(I don’t wanna do anything
Not enough time anyway)

[Verse 1]
Hey there world good morning how ya doin'?
I’m feeling so good 'bout the things I got brewin'
I’m feeling so good 'bout things that I'm attracting to me
Feeling really blessed for all the things so far have happened to me
Gotta say I’m pretty proud of what I’m manifesting
Making room for work and I’m making room for resting
Finally free, recovering from perfectionism
Frankly, I don’t have no time for anybody’s pessimism

[Verse 2]

Geeze, hi world, guess what? Pollyanna’s up
Don’t you know that don’t nobody actually give a fuck
Look honey, no offense, but come on - let’s get serious
Frankly, you don’t have no time for anybody, period

Not trying to be negative, just being realistic
Are you gonna get all emotional again and go ballistic?
You underestimate how hard it is to get some riches
And don’t you think you’re getting a bit big for your britches?

[Verse 3]
No, actually, I disagree, you’re wrong, I really don’t
I’m just focused on my focus, but it does take time to grow
Honestly you do not need to go and be a jerk
'Cause I’m a confident chick with good ish in the works
Got a full time job and a business on the side
Plus I’m working on this album, keep my passion alive
I’m even paying more attention to my dating life
Plus social justice, self-care, yeah I’m doin alright

[Verse 4]
Oh yeah, how’s that going, any new clients yet?
When we checked in yesterday, you know, you seemed kinda stressed
Didn’t wanna mention it, but your apartment’s a mess
And your dating life is looking like a sad game of chess
Yeah, you workin hard on this record - maybe you should fall back
Cuz you’re an okay singer, but you ain’t all that, shit
Why you even rapping when you don’t even know how to rap?
Oh, you don’t wanna hear the facts?
Well we could take it out back!

[Verse 5]
When she started comin’ toward me I knew it was time to go
'Cause I fought too hard to be here, I won’t let her snatch my soul
Heard fear is a part of the process
Objects closer than they appear, but I digress
I, hopped on the bus to the 4 and 5
Rode the train down to the Lower East Side
Spot the only place I knew I wouldn’t be found
Flat on a yoga mat, I think I’m safe for now

[Verse 6]
As I was comin at her I was really frustrated
In truth I’m the one who’s scared but that will not be dictated
She don’t appreciate just tryna keep her safe man
Don’t dream big, why she fuckin' up the game plan
I, saw her catch the bus from Fordham University
Met her at the train, but the doors closed on me
And everytime I caught up and I thought I got my catch
My power felt limited, perhaps I met my match

[Chorus x2]

It feels so crowded in my head
Which voice will live, which will be dead?
Trying to uplevel my life
Change my beliefs so deep inside
Amazed at just how much I’ve grown
But sometimes can’t shake the comfort zone
Focusing on the positive
But it’s still so crowded in my head
