i've been sidelining my past for a while

but now i face it all like a town

quickly i'm reminded by

by the love of it all

i payed my dues

im tired of feeling bad for the shit i do

i know my past always wanna claim the best of it all

but can't i speak my truth...

feels like everything bad too

claiming and praising theses diplomas

like they really hold the truth

i'm so confused

about the path

like who

said that any of this

was the life to do

i'm probably in my feelings

but honestly

idgaf bout' you

or anybody who decided my truth
