Complex Life Lyrics

I got no home and nowhere to go

I got no home and nowhere to go

Miss the days when I had nothing to spend

A couple dollars to my name was enough

I remember driving cars was pretend

But now I've had like 23 to myself

And don't think that I want it to end

I'm so grateful for this world that I'm in

Trust me, you don't even know who I am

You think I have it all but I'm, I'm all alone, yeah

Where did my friends all go?

Used to be so close now you're on your own

No, you did it on purpose

Pushed them out, didn't think you were worth it

Always more hidden under the surface

I'm so stressed

When the hell did life get so complex?

I write these words so I won't forget

How I used to feel

Cause nothing's feeling real

Okay back in the 9th

I had to hide my true self

But now there's nothing to hide

You only liked my disguise, uh

You had a black boy wish he was white

My hair won't go down, maybe my curls are too tight, nah

Now I think that I'm beautiful

Damn man, why the hell you let those words get to you?

Maybe it's cause you'd put your arm to mine and say that you're almost blacker

Tell me I'm not real and I'm more so like an actor

I know that's not your intentions but that really made me mad, yeah

My last straw was what your grandma said

Tell me where you're from

I said here, she had to ask again just in case she wasn't clear

Funny thing is you seem to not have a clue

My family's been here for more generations than you

Couldn't take the abuse

Reparations past due

Made me feel like I'm back in 1892 (nowhere to go)

I'm so stressed

When the hell did life get so complex?

I write these words so I won't forget

How I used to feel

Cause nothing's feeling real (nowhere to go)

I got no home and nowhere to go

I got no home and nowhere to go
