I aint nothin special just a soul in a vessel sometimes its hard for me to let go other times, a part of me, it says, go sometimes I don't know what to do other times, a part of me, it says I do sometimes I really be over this other times, I cant get enough of it sometimes I really wanna get away other times, a part of me it wants to stay sometimes, a part of me is feelin' craze other times, a part of me is feelin' sane sometimes I feel I'm in a different lane other times, I feel I sorta sound the same sometimes sometimes and other times other times other times and sometimes sometimes I just think bout what my purpose here is instead of finding out ima just create it u can just run ur mouth that don't prove ur actions sometimes I feel left out but that feels the bestest getting to know myself more and more everyday I get up I fall down then get back up again cant nobody stop me unless I'm the one to don't u try and copy try to b the best u
