The Lonliest Number - Grime

I come from troubled times

My minds all fucked up

Two personalties and they both live double lives

I put pen to paper and I come up with some rhymes

And I can front like my life is all ugly and fine

But inside I’m a wreck and it gets rough sometimes

It’s been a while since I’ve been loved and it sucks some times

So I get drunk and shut it all up inside

And pretend to be a man, like the other guys, but I’m a misfit

Really I’ve always been different

And this shit gets sicker anything is twisted

I latch onto girls, because I’m scared they’ll leave

Like my moms left my pops, like my girl left me

So I’m insecure with every girl I meet

Some think its sweet, most think it’s immature and weak

So I feel uncertain when it’s my turn to speak

So instead of trying to meet you

I’ll just finish this drink

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

To that all white school every day I go

And get called a spik and a nigga on the way back home

So I never gave a damn that my grades were always low

And the girls said I was dirty cuz' I wear the same clothes

So when I try flirting they would always say no

It’s the same old story of my life being told

Because the girls like to chase the boys on the playground

And nothings changed;

it’s still the same game now

I’m like that asshole that don’t remember your name

So you don’t remember me, so I guess we’ll never be

You looking for job, but that just isn’t me, so when he treats you wrong

I got no sympathy, I’m sick of playing games;

it’s weighing on my brain

I gotta drink myself to sleep to take away the pain

This self-conscious bullshits making my insane

Listening to the rain on my window paint

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

Look, I’ve been shot down too many times

And now I’m shaking

If I get hurt again, I don’t know how I’ll take it

I’d rather play it safe, and save myself some pace

I don’t ever wanna feel like, how I felt that day

There’s only one woman for me, end of story

And she’s gone now, so I guess I’ll end up lonely

Cuz these other girls phoney and don’t even know me

I’d rather be alone with this bottle to consume me

I’m looking for a sole base, someone to have my son

But my boy told me, girls just wanna have fun

That’s why he never calls them back after he’s done

But she’s still the only one don’t front

I’ll probably never understand that, so ill just stand back

And watch another victim fall in that sand trap

Fuck it, if that’s what you want, then have that

I’ll probably still be here when you come back, shit

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

Lonely is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
