I need peace! But y’all can’t offer that (you can’t!)

Fuck a shelf you can’t take me off the rack
All the fame is not worth the heart attack
You’re insane, you’re in pain, I can tell by what you’re saying, but
My bad, I forgot you were fragile
I forgot someone who doesn’t even know me told you I’m an asshole
I forgot that I’m the villain

I don’t wear clothes, but bought this chain and just like you this chain is fake
I wear it to distract you from the blatant sadness written on my fucking face
What’d you expect?
Did you think I was immune to what you were saying and didn’t see all of the disrespect?

Maybe you think I’m just too good and that I’m fucking cheating?
Or maybe, just maybe you’re blind
And the hate inside your heart clouds your eyes and your mind and your ears when I rhyme
