Never Pretended Lyrics by Self Critic

Career Failure Vol. 1

2018

[Verse 1]

If you ever saw me in person, maybe even a picture
You would be astonished who you are actually listening to
I'm just an average looking common Caucasian male
Who dresses a little stale and never has been to jail
Usually people consider rappers to be conceited
Ever heated, never really accept it if been defeated
Assuming they carry guns for protection of their possession
But not in any way I masquerade to fake an impression
My character is excessively timid in life
When I'm talking, I have difficult time meeting the eye
Not to mention I stumble over words when I am speaking
This is who I am, this is the real Denys Nikitin
So this confidence I'm displaying in every track
Is just for clarity, I record and then never look back
I wish I'd sound as convincing as I do at this instant
In real life, but my presence is too non-existent

[Chorus]

Yes, I know that I'm strange
No, I will never change
But I never pretended to be
Someone other than me - I never intended to be

[Verse 2]

I get an impression people tend to dislike me
Whenever I'm next to them, they'd be avoiding me just to spite me
Never saying hello, pretending like they don't know me
Passing me slowly, they would just continue to go
Even when I'm staying with a group of people, they blatantly
Shunning me, shaking me to be able to stay away from me
And I might look like I'm taking it very patiently
In reality I just hate it and it's frustrating me
Anyway I'm grateful to anyone who became my friend eventually
Supporting me, talking to me essentially
Will never forget anybody ever I met
Even if it's so many people I remember, I bet
Because you only live your life once, hence I will treasure it
Endeavor it not to be malevolent, it's so evident
That I need to talk to people and assemble connections
Even if introverted, not to tremble over rejections

[Chorus]
