i'm a mess. Lyrics

Complicated

Man it's complicated

I'm a mess

But I know that's why ya love me baby

Yeah yeah

Do you love me, baby?

Yeah yeah

Yo

I can’t relate to people pleasers

I do honest music

All kinda high-grades in my bag

I'm an honor student

See growin' up I felt a

Heavy sense of non-inclusion

Til I started twistin'

Out the same stash my mom was usin'

Blowin' circles

While I'm contemplatin' calm solutions

To the fact that

Sellin' off my music’s just like prostitution

See I ain't mad about it

That's just how my logic views it

Options come with time

So when I sign it's gon be nonexclusive

They tell me "beat the beat"

If that's the case then I'm abusive

They tell me "show ya face"

If that's the case then I'm elusive

They want me posting daily

But that shyt becomes a nuisance

I'll shine for the world

Until the day I choose to be reclusive

Puffin' crazy formulations

Til my brain is racin'

Changin' complicated calculations

Into strange creations

I don't expect you to understand me at all though

I just hope you like the way my songs go

Complicated

Man it's complicated

I'm a mess

But I know that's why ya love me baby

Yeah yeah

Do you love me, baby?

Yeah yeah?

Even tho I'm just a little bit

Complicated

Man it's complicated

I'm a mess

But I know that’s why you love me baby

Yeah yeah

Do you love me baby?

Even though I'm complicated?

I used to have more patience for the lies

But I can't just stand here waitin' for the tide to change

I'm tired of flying commercial

I need private planes

I'm tryna slide my ride

Inside a wider lane

Shyt is wild

Everywhere I go there's predators

Back when I was Poe

I swear I heard a crow say “nevermore"

I'm raven at the love

I get from ya'll on every tour

Delighted that my music

Touches lives I never met before

Sometimes I look at the sky and say "Come get me Lord"

Help me soar

Thunder clouds are drenching me with heavy pours

Fly me, dry me off

And set me down in every store

I'ma change the world by making people move

Like Henry Ford

I don’t know at which point to tell my mom I made it

I'm virtually unknown but Emmy-nominated

A messy piece of genius work that God created

Wish I could tell you more

But it’s complicated

Complicated

Man it's complicated

I'm a mess

But I know that's why ya love me baby

Yeah yeah

Do you love me, baby?

Yeah yeah?

Even tho I'm just a little bit

Complicated

Man it's complicated

I'm a mess

But I know that’s why you love me baby

Yeah yeah

Do you love me baby?

Even though I'm complicated?

Lemme finish

Look

I like my luxury in moderation

Dodging complications

When I travel it's for music

I'm not on vacation

Lots of work with little sleep's a toxic combination

But I just bought a better watch

Looks like times are changin'
