Dynem - Know Your Place

Unless you're an artist
You can't relate to constantly bein'
Put down
For what you're trying to accomplish

Yeah
Universal

I can't be me cause you said so
Too much has occurred to let go
Rest assured I'm here to stay tho
Til my name is put on a gravestone
You're either on my side or in my way
You can be along for the ride
But you gotta know your place

Stuck between the what if and the motive to be free
From the person that somebody would prefer for me to be
Even if it means I battle my anxiety
I gotta suck it up and grin
Because I cannot say a thing
About the hate I have for school
Cause I attend two times a week
Yet every teacher wanna duel me
Like they're threatened by a hoodie
And a pen in my hand
They demand I give them
All of my attention as if they can suspend me
I'm not givin' in

I can't be me cause you said so
Too much has occurred to let go
Rest assured I'm here to stay tho
Til my name is put on a gravestone
You're either on my side or in my way
You can be along for the ride
But you gotta know your place

All I ever hear is Dylan you need
To prepare for a life where you ain't
Up on stage and your music isn't aired
I would fix your hair
Should prolly switch up
What you wear
Black is uninviting man
Everybody's scared you're in the Middle of a crisis
The reason why we stare is cause so Often you have glared at us
Gotten us to fear what's to come From the rapper that isn't
One to spare
Will you be the same after or
Will you be snared

I can't be me cause you said so
Too much has occurred to let go
Rest assured I'm here to stay tho
Til my name is put on a gravestone
You're either on my side or in my way
You can be along for the ride
But you gotta know your place

If you ain't beside me then I'm
Leaving you behind me
No more fighting or retrying to
Rekindle any fire
I retire from abiding
I ain't thriving on your wire
You're a liar and you're fired
Yeah I never should have hired you
I knew you wouldn't follow through
I knew it wasn't it wise
But I let you have a piece of me
I fed into the lies
I'm in disbelief because
I didn't realize
You were capable of doin' this
Why am I surprised

I can't be me cause you said so
Too much has occurred to let go
Rest assured I'm here to stay tho
Til my name is put on a gravestone
