Beedo - Untamed

Caged animal
Never asked to live a life like this
Fighting fits, denying bliss
Feel my mind doing splits
An acrobat above me
Crowd cries over crack from the whip
Bending over backwards just to check each box
Finish, blow a kiss
Look at her smile, she holding down a job, a family is next
Now what you mean baby girl?
Don't wanna follow the steps?
You sat behind the desk but next your role is sex and respect
Find a man, forget your passions
Healthy kids are your flex
The smile holding up my face begins to sink to my chest
Regrets of compliance are getting hard to digest
Which one of these days am I gonna be next
A baby popped and locked in by the Pop, my job is my vessel
I look around the room I'm feeling especially
Sus cuz marriage seems to be the only next level
I start to slip, I lose my place, the crowd gets to heckle
Must be another way
Another road to the medal
And I feel like I can't get by
Just following these lines
And I can't let my life pass by
Just following these lies
Next steps escape me, fuel to hate me
Why can't I shake this notion
Of something more, not trusting doors
Oasis claims you is chosen
When really every push to focus, bogus doses, you posing
For a life only meant to leave you frozen unspoken
Awakening
A painful process of outgrowing your cage
Passion purrs can turn to roaring in a flash, framed as rage
They'll claim it's hormones, or PMS, it's just a phase
But this on period, the cycle bloody, coming of age
This is the life I was taught
How could I know any better
I know that boys will be boys and women then thank for shelter
A life of clean house, kids and care for just one night of pleasure
But when I drop the juggling act now that makes me the home wrecker?
Spotlight
It's so suddenly clear to me
Been selling my body, my mind to lift up those near to me
I put myself on the line
This tight rope is the vine that wraps around my neck
Six seconds, it's RIP
And I feel like I can't get by
Just following these lines
And I can't let my life pass by
Just following these lies
It's intermission
I'm not holding back to save you your feelings
Go on and let the master know to call ahead for your fill-in
Oh little bee, just buzz away
Ain't got no time for your squealing
Your input's not welcome here
Your job's to fill up the billing
But who the fuck
Gave you the right to give me permission
I must have missed when we sold tickets to your silly rendition
Must have forgot that this my show, sounding really offended
Don't ask for one little fight, like Will from Philly I'm sending
The show is over
Hold on to the key
This cage about to break and animals are bound to set free
The show is over
I never liked this routine
Admit to myself this life was not meant for me
The show is over
Hold on to the key
This cage about to break and animals are bound to set free
The show is over
Better clear out the scene
I swear you're not about to like what you see
Curtains up, the crowd begins to clap
The last act is now
The lights are bright they're blinding my future
That don't matter now
I clear my throat prepare to roar
Packing house, maxing out
You're not gon' want an encore when I drop this mic, man no doubt
What type of show you thought this was
See, my life? Un, uh, tame-able
Never let myself believe a dream unobtainable
Even silly little bars with basic rhymes leave you drained
Label my shit untamed, recreational
The point I'm making here, it's very clear, I been sincere
I'm shutting down the side shows, call me a freak if I don't appear
To meet the standard set up by your books, your comfort sphere
I'm not gon keep contorting for your viewing pleasure, no more fear
It's been too long at this point, trying to fit right
Told from the day I was born, just gotta sit tight
Now I find that I mourn, the years that slip by
Your ticket stub, a souvenir of a dead life
And I feel like I can't get by
Just following these lines
And I can't let my life pass by
Just following these lies
