Nevv - Weigh Me Down

I'd rather be hated for the right reasons then be loved for the wrong
Rather speak truth be seen conceited than to be praised by all my flaws
Rather be hated for who I am but gain your love through all these songs
Rather be heard than to be just seen
Rather chase dreams than this evil green; these blue faces
All money brings is fake friends; Harvey dents with two faces
They cruise your wave, tell them no then it's rude statements
Spewed hatred; mood changes if your clout grows other wise it's fuck you
No fuck you too and your few favors
I unlaced my boots, I'm through chasing your promises and these toxic women
I paid karma off and my consequences
I ain't gained what I lost it ain't cost effective
But I take all my wrongs and my harshest lessons
As a blessing; my bed I made all by myself and I lay in that bitch like a spa and breakfast
My god
When you spell win it's got one "I" like a Cyclops
My self worth's nonnegotiable, it's price locked
It's so weird how I got burned and the end result I just turned cold like an ice box
Oh lord, marry, Joseph
These hateful comments might tear me open
I paying homage but it's barley showing
But I made a promise to my fucking self you won't weigh me down

You can't weigh my down
Cause I got too much pride
You could tie two anchors to my feet and still my heads above the tide
You can't drown me out
But I know that you try
You want my attention just to entertain your lies
You won't weigh me down
You won't weight me down
You won't weigh me down, down, down
You won't weigh me down
You won't weight me down
You won't weigh me down, down, down

It's hard to cover up
Scars that people cut
Wounds that you would carve
Illustrate my doubt
Tainted all my faith
That's the cost of love
That's the cost of life
That's the way I'm now
Heartache; misery
Made my artistry
Helped me write the songs
Write cathartic themes
I don't play guitar
I don't play the drums
No I don't, but I'm Jimmy Hendrix to my audiences heartstrings
Oh god
I'm Beethoven to their emotions
Their Edison through my dark times
All my wounds just tell a story you can read along through my scar lines
I know the odds are stacked against me like a hole in one in a par five
But I'm sick of crying over eighty proof like a sad drunk or some bar fly
So fuck love
I'm used to hate; I'm immune to your disapproval
I remember the days I would sit and doodle in my rhyme book
Just wasting time until the lyrics proved you
I was given a gift which is ironic cause now my presences moves you
(True)
I was told that the life you want is the sacrifice that you hate to give
But just like Tetris I'm trying to find a place in this game that I maybe fit
So Oh lord, marry, Joseph
These hecklers hate might tear me open
I'm paying my dues but it's barley showing
But I made a promise to my fucking self you won't weigh me down, no

You can't weigh my down
Cause I got too much pride
You could tie two anchors to my feet and still my heads above the tide
You can't drown me out
But I know that you try
You want my attention just to entertain your lies
You won't weigh me down
You won't weight me down
You won't weigh me down, down, down
You won't weigh me down
You won't weight me down
You won't weigh me down, down, down
