LYRICS:
I always walked a lonely road
I always had friends but felt like the kid that no one knows
I like reminisce on life like I’m fully grown
There were times when the studio felt like my only home
If you look at my accomplishments you might think it means something
Imagine getting everything you want but feeling nothing
Used to give advice to people calling them deep discussions
consumed by ego now I’m dealing with repercussions

I’m in a transition my plans different I’m walking through a spiritual transmission
I used to credit all of my success to my ambition,
I’m learning bout humility, fame never satisfied the hunger that’s instilled in me
Now I get to experience love I can really see
writing verses everyday its just another drill to me

And I said Baby
I’ve been trying my best to Just Stay Patient
I feel so far away but I’m still chasing
It’s right there
So darling don’t be scared
I’ve gotta get out my own way
I’ll always do Whatever It Takes

And I’m never letting up again
I don’t deal with serpents anymore I’ve had enough of them
The ball is in my hands I ain’t thinking bout me fumbling
The last couple years of my life were truly humbling
I put on a front to the public but I was struggling
Cause I went from doing tours to vacuuming floors
I figured I’d get a job cause I just wasn’t sure
I used it as an excuse cause I was scared to record

Like what would they say about me if they knew my reality
I act like I’m confident but in all actuality
There’s many insecurities I’m battling
And one of them I find particularly challenging
Is my fear of embarrassment, cause when I was diagnosed I felt like an experiment
Trying different medications seeing different therapists
And when I saw success and my life was feeling glamorous
It lead to braggadocio and that filled me up with arrogance

And now that I’m aware of this I feel like a fool
It makes think about the times when I was in school
And I would make fun of others just so I could feel cool
But all of those insults said more about me than it did about them
I wouldn’t say that it was hard for me to make friends
But if you ask me if I’ve kept em I would say it depends

And I said Baby
I’ve been trying my best to Just Stay Patient
I feel so far away but I’m still chasing
It’s right there
So darling don’t be scared
I’ve gotta get out my own way
I’ll always do Whatever It Takes

And I don’t know if this counts as making amends
But for the sake of this verse I’ll pretend like it does
I’ll drop it on the internet and they’ll show me love
But deep down I know I have a right to be judged

I just pray that I can change for my families sake
its not healthy to hold onto mistakes
if I never got this off my chest I’d probably break
Ill always do Whatever It Takes
