I Like It - I Confess

Man you know I like it

Come out swinging if I ever started fighting

When I write, it’s sort of like the lightning

And thunder in the distance start colliding but I’m finding

This is just the way I want to do it

I started making music and it’s almost like I knew it

I ain’t gotta prove it, I just do it 'cause I love it

I make songs for me and then I share them with the public

It’s probably why you bought this fucking tape

You watched me go from bad to good to on the path to being great

I’ve been walking down it, now I’m picking up the pace

You don’t have to be the first one out the gate to win the race

So I’mma take my time like I’ve been doing

I finally found myself amidst the wreckage and the ruin

The music that I’m using as a way to cope with life

Has got me practicing my skills and now I’m sharper than a knife

(From which they rob the people of the world under the pretense of bringing

them culture.

Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them, they’ll send you out

to protect their golden walls whose weapons rapidly developed by servile

scientists will become more and more deadly)

Man you know I like it

Suddenly aware like my senses have been heightened

You know that I’m enlightened so I’m never frightened

'Cause I could die right now so suddenly it’s brightened

The light that I’ve been walking towards, 'cause when I dream

I see myself on billboards, TV screens, and limousines

Sold out shows as I’m walking 'round the stage

With my name up in lights but wait, let’s turn the page

I’m doing this for you too, without the Bono

Coming at you mixed and mastered, not in mono

Sick like I’m mononucleosis

And you know this, I wrote this, I focused and closed it

The door to the past, hit the gas

The life that I’ve been living is moving too damn fast

I’ve gotta keep up with it, never stuck with it

Music on blast, hoping that I don’t crash

(Until they can, with the flick of a finger, tear a million of you to pieces)

Man you know I like it

Was going downhill faster than a person bikin'

Turned it all around, now I’m walking and I’m climbin'

At the same time, not to mention feeling like I’m psychic

'Cause every answer that I’m looking for

Is already inside of my mind so what you take me for?

A fool?

Because I hardly ever speak?

When I look you in the eyes and I can tell you think I’m weak?

Take a seat.

I’ll tell you why it’s not worth it

I could paint the picture but you wouldn’t find it perfect

I could tell you why you’ll never find the answers searchin'

In the world that’s around you 'cause you’re looking for a person

Or a place to make you feel like you deserve

A piece of heaven even though the hell that’s on this earth doesn’t burn

I could make it all make sense

But only to myself and that’s the only difference

You know I like it
