Codeseven - Imposter Syndrome (Break Out) (feat. Tyler Skillman & Chaun)

Look, I'm a little bit twisted in the way that I perceive things
Some would say I'm gifted, to me it's more like a fever dream
Needling through my psyche like a demon's dream
It's got me by the throat, so I can't even scream
And that's assuming that I got something to say
Like there ain't a good reason for me to be running away
Swerving and weaving I should have been pumping the breaks
But I crashed and burned just another drunk in the tank
That's how things went for me
I was the mother fucking fuck up of the century
Essentially, and by age 23 I knew I had to figure shit out eventually
Time flies when you're living in the fast lane
I got a lot of inner demons that I can't tame
They're telling me I don't belong in the rap game
I'm too white and I'm giving it a bad name
Can't seem to erase the doubt when trace amounts remain
Even after you've chased it out
So hard to face it down, gonna raise some brows when I make it loud
I got my heart set on ambitions that just ain't allowed
Gonna make you proud when I hit the stage and engage the crowd but I'm
Tied up I just sit and wonder
If I can rise above cause I think I'm going under
Weighed down 'cause my brain's so loud
Fighting through the throng but I can't gain ground
Noooo
It's a solo mission
Battling myself, that's my biggest competition
Weighed down 'cause my brain's so loud
Trying to find a way to break out (A way to break out)
Trying to find a way to break out, I lost my hope
If I'm my biggest enemy why do I think so bold
I should be trying to figure out why my heart is cold
Frozen snows say that they care for me but it never shows
On my own, staying independent 'cause I've had enough
To pass it up, this is the last time that I let you call the bluff
Met some great people like Code who showed me that I am tough
So thank you if you help with that, I think it's time we stand up
For a better mission, life is hella gifted but sometimes we get stuck
On this lonely road, got no ways to cope, tryna find ways I can trust
Is it too late? Or can I find my happiness today
Been a long search that I've lost but thankfully your track is great
Why would I ever question my own purpose
We all are human that have love and deserve it
So don't you dare break
Sometimes we shout and we act hella nervous
But don't you ever hide behind the curtain just for your own sake
Tied up I just sit and wonder
If I can rise above cause I think I'm going under
Weighed down 'cause my brain's so loud
Fighting through the throng but I can't gain ground
Noooo
It's a solo mission
Battling myself, that's my biggest competition
Weighed down 'cause my brain's so loud
Trying to find a way to break out (A way to break out)
Need a way to decompress 'cause I feel like I might be possessed
I could win the battle if I had a way to relieve the stress
I got some ideas Code we have all been inside this mess
And it starts with purpose so don't ever feel like you're worth less
I guess I feel all right when I hit the mic inside the booth
Never had a reason to fight but music showed me that I do
I'm boutta pour my everything into this shit
Never gonna quit gonna fight until I get big
Taking names and built up slowly
Doing all I can to guarantee that I won't be
Tied up I just sit and wonder
If I can rise above cause I think I'm going under
Weighed down 'cause my brain's so loud
Fighting through the throng but I can't gain ground
Noooo
It's a solo mission
Battling myself, that's my biggest competition
Weighed down 'cause my brain's so loud
Trying to find a way to break out (A way to break out)
Ooo ooh, ooo ooh
Ooh ooh, ooo ooh
Ooh ooh, ooo ooooooh
