Joey Chike - INVISIBLE CRIPPLE

Look at my skin
Thicker than leather, where should I begin?
Look at my brain
Push me too hard and I will go insane
One of the best
Got to be proud as I go through the rest
To get to the top is the place to be
My drive, nobody can take it from me

I'm tired of trying to be someone I'm not
Half of you don't even have what I got
I'm the jack of all trades, master of none
But I will keep pushing, the faster they come
See life is a challenge, without the trends
Without the fun, the hell does it end?
Probably never
So me and my bros are sticking together

Please try to visualise
The invisible cripple inside
Stuck in a cast, being my mind
Unfixable is what you'll find (Let's break it down)

Neurotypicals be like
"They're so rude, weird and strange"
Maybe try to understand and think
Who really needs to change?
The peace and pride I gained from all the work that I manufactured
Got me thinking of all the years of the nasty egos I got fractured

Dealt with narcissists, controllers of my puppet strings
Eventually I cut the strings only to see the finer things
I used to hate the very thing that made me unique (ASD)
And everyone who had the same, it made me so bleak

I hung with people who condoned my vibe, it made me so weak
Then the mask started to slip, they began to critique behind my back
To them, it's like my struggles were bullshit
And proceeded to gaslight me like I was a half-wit
I realised they weren't my friends, made a wise decision
I left the cult, left my past because they never listened
I went the distance, I was so happy and I never missed 'em
They made me want to die only because I'm different

But I crawled out the cave of insecurity
Went on the search for my community
Now I'm not alone, I feel free
Shouting at the world "This is me"
Nobody can take my skills away
I've come from a damn long way
Now I'm on the grind every day
Shout out to my crew AwA!

Had a lot of heavy heartbreaks in my life
And had to contemplate if should I be alive
With all the ridiculous social cues I've learnt
I still end up crying alone and feeling hurt
But this is the life of a neurodivergent
Constantly wondering if there's a surgeon
Sometimes I feel like my brain isn't working
Deep down, dark thoughts are lurking

Please try to visualise
The invisible cripple inside
Stuck in a cast, being my mind
Unfixable is what you'll find
Please try to visualise
The invisible cripple inside
Stuck in a cast, being my mind
Unfixable is what you'll find
Please try to visualise
The invisible cripple inside
Stuck in a cast, being my mind
Unfixable is what you'll find
