lyrics

[Verse 1]
Catch me in the corner, not speaking
Face all screwed like I’m mad for no reason
I’m just chillin’. Check the scene; how I peep it
It’s like a game and I came without the pieces
Hatin’ eyes seen behind smiling faces
They give you dap; call you fam and share embraces
They keep you close enough to call in a favor
When you’re the one in need, then they’re gone with no traces
That’s why I’m dolo when you see me
Used to let too many cats get over on me, easy
I ain’t like them dudes who crave attention. Extra needy
Gotta cut a couple leaves before they kill the tree completely
So I keep my circle smaller
Dropping extra weight helped me take myself farther
When they see me now they ask me why I never call them
But I just mind my business and leave the rest of it to karma
[Hook]
I’m good by myself (8x)
[Verse 2]
I’m probably coming off like I’m anti
Cause when others socialize, I just stand by
Honestly, I’m too awkward for small talk
So it all falls down like a landslide
Got my close few whom I appreciate
I don’t need a big crew to feel them validate
And social gatherings make my heart palpitate
Nine times outta 10 with most people, I just can’t relate
And I’m cool with that
Most of yall wouldn’t know what to do with that
When snakes reveal themselves, I start moving back
Cut them off at the head with my cool in tact
True. In fact I’ll say with all confidence
That my nonchalance is my ambiance
I don’t sweat the notoriety and blahzay blah
On the stage’s the only time I need an audience
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
All by myself
Hit the booth; kill a track all by myself
Rock a show front to back all by myself
Get paid a couple stacks all by myself
But it’s two sides to all currency
Had to work twice as hard for what I got currently
Fewer connections in the right place burning me
That lonestar attitude has its drawbacks, certainly
Cause a dope rhyme dies without a cosign
Have you speaking into the void in no time
So instead of complaining that I get no shine
I go to work, hustle, grind and the whole nine
And I’m cool with that
Most of yall wouldn’t know what to do with that
Gotta keep up in the race without losing track
Never lost in the shuffle cause I drew the map
[Hook]
