Imposter Syndrome

Look into my eyes
Can you see what I'm trying to hide?
Look into my eyes

Yeah, imposter syndrome starts creeping in
I don't talk about my insecurities, I keep 'em in
But something changes when that beat hits
Makes me wanna leave it all out, my heart out where my sleeve is
Yeah, wait

Breathe out and breathe in
Need to take a second for myself, I had to refresh
Quick to hit the reset button, I hope I regret nothing
I got my honey keep the bee's nest buzzing, yeah
Gotta keep my circle tight, one woman with me at all times
Yeah, the girl is mine
Word to Mike, lover boy, baby, yeah, I'm certified
26 now imagine where I'll be at 35

But deep down, my inner thoughts stay negative
Like if I started sooner, maybe then I'd be ahead of this
I was too consumed about what other people said of it
And those voices always coming back when I'm settled in

Look into my eyes
Can you see what I'm trying to hide?
Look into my eyes
Can you see what I'm trying to hide?

Gotta cut the grass to see the snakes
Smile in my face, but their teeth clenched
Leaving hate comments on my recent page
Guess being fake is in your DNA
I stopped reaching out, we didn't speak since
Quality over quantity, I'd rather have some than many
It makes more sense to have four quarter than a hundred pennies, doesn't it?
'Cause people change, but I wasn't ready, look

Sometimes some ties are better left untied
Sometimes rough times never see an upside
Some nights you just lose sight of all the sunshine
And wanna leave it all behind, but wait until the sun rises
New day, clean slate, never hopeless
Keep it Blu-ray, see straight, get it focused
Wherever you lay, sleep great, melatonin
Get a bouquet, need breaks, smell the roses

Look into my eyes
Can you see what I'm trying to hide?
