I worked way too hard for this Told myself I was outgoing, 'til I believed it Asked friends to be my biggest critics For the motivation I needed not to quit I don’t want to watch the bees die or smash my hips on tables But I always act so frantic and it just comes off as unstable What’s the difference? Lack of reference If I pour it all out at once But it’s the difference in the distance Yeah yeah, you can just put it in the trunk (worked too hard for) Put it in the trunk (worked too hard for) Won’t take my shirt off for you, but don’t tell anybody I’m about to break the rules, but don’t tell anybody Rockstar? No, I’m a modern fool, but don’t tell anybody Wanna take off the shoes? I always knew school wasn't for me Sorry mom and dad, I don’t need to take a year off to think I'm already a fuck up, so what's one more thing? I just can’t spend my life wondering what I could’ve been I have to work twice as hard to get half of what my white counterparts get So I’ll apply it to what I want Can’t do a 9-5 or join the military industrial complex Because for every guy that tried to fuck me and put my dreams down, and the bands in it for themselves and a free round There’s could be someone that looks just like me That needs to hear they’re not alone, or at least they don’t have to be It might takes years, it might not happen at all Could end with a mid-life crisis in a bathroom stall You can save every reason it’s too big a risk I’ve already heard it and I know that it’s worth it I’m no longer confused, but don’t tell anybody I’m about to break the rules, but don’t tell anybody I got something better than school, but don’t tell anybody They want me to get a safe job, just like everybody They ain’t walked in my shoes, I’m just not everybody If I put it into words would you hear me out? (worked too hard for) If I put it into words would you hear me out? If I put it into words would you hear me out? (worked too hard for) Hear me out
