Somebody

I woke this mornin' undecided
My demons takin' over my life, yeah
Sooner or later it's a family divided
These patterns gettin' hard to hide, yeah

They say I should be satisfied
They tell me I got the world
But that's a lie
I wished the way I feel could be pacified
Sometimes i wish I was somebody
Anybody but myself oh, I wish I was somebody
Anybody but myself

If I told you I'm 'bout to break
Would you look at me different?
Character out of place
Would I lose your attention?
Let me know your intentions
Cause lately I been watchin' everybody
It's apparent that transparency
Never seen monotony
Got off of tour, lookin' for closure
Mixin' emotions of bein' grateful and feelin'
Like some of y'all gettin' over
What's a puppet on stage
Singin' and dancin' ablaze?
But trading his worth
Distorted by the money that's made
A slave with a verse
I feel like Prince Rogers
I feel liberation is free
I feel I should miss the Oscars
Are you celebrating me as the
Artist or just a profit?
A question I have for the ones
Around me that's turnin' toxic
My lungs been heavy from
All the smokescreen boobytraps
Reminiscin' on what it was
And knowin' that this ain't that
I vision a rock in a hard place
Hope my daughter isn't born with
A piece of my heartbreak
You know stress carries on and your kids
Reap the mistakes that you made
And I admit that I can be
Dismissive if I can't relate
And I admit that I only
Commit to start playin' games
And I admit that I'm bad at
Talkin' myself out of shame
But who's to blame when the crowds stop
Cheerin' and they passin' dirty looks?
I now understand that I'll
Never be understood

Isolation didn't work for me (Work for me)
Socializing didn't work for me even
Prayed about it, didn't work for me
(Work for me) you can't cure this disease
The pain too traumatic for relief
Pull up the curtains, let the audience see

I wish I was somebody
(Somebody else, oh, somebody else, oh)
Anybody but myself (Somebody else, oh)
Oh, I wish I was somebody (Somebody else, oh)
Anybody but myself
