Do It For Myself

from I AM NOT A RAPPER by MaJiK

/

lyrics

When your back’s against the wall
And you cannot face the fall
After giving it your all
You stop living for tomorrow
Trapped in a moment of feeling hopeless while your soul is
Wandering around lost in the open just going through the motions
…Blurring visions with the potions
So potent, you begin to lose focus
And everything you ever did
Did it ever mean a thing??
Maybe to them it never did
But for you, you’re better since
They let you go ‘cause truth be told, they held you back
You’re beautiful and no one else determines that
Lesson learned, shake it off, leave it in the past
You were burned but like a Phoenix, rise up out the ash

[Hook]x2
I was tryna’ be someone for somebody else
Now I do it for myself x3

When your best just doesn’t cut it
And they’re thinking nothing of it
When it’s hard to make ‘em love it
And you’re close to saying “fuck it”
But nu-uh, you done came to far, what the fuck they take you for??
They tryna’ rain on your parade, it’s up to you to make it pour
Give them all your heart and soul until they cannot take no more
And then it’s back to the lab until you cannot make no more
‘Cause you’re something they ain’t used to
They just hear Rapper and say “You too??
There’s a bunch of you on Youtube”
Nah, homie, you are you, do
You and no one else, fuck ‘em if they don’t respect it
Go ahead and ask for help but trust me, homie, don’t expect it
I know it’s hard for you to try when you feelin’ like you’re so neglected
Just keep it real with yourself; I swear it’s so much better

[Hook]x4
