lyrics
[Eric Robbins] (Ethan Robbins)
I'm a twenty-something singer,
I'm a sucker and a flinger,
give attention and I'll linger,
keep me wrapped around your finger.
I'm a tall and skinny poser,
I'll admit that I'm a stoner
but I'm a poet, too, and frankly I don't
care if you hate me because...
I'm not the best at admitting my flaws, (I'm not)
but I'm the best at making them rhyme. (the best...)
It's all in jest; everything I ingest (At least)
makes me less depressed some of the time. (I am.)
At least I'm self aware!
I can learn to love me
even while wearing my heart on my sleeve.
At least I'm self aware!
I have my flaws but I'm on my way up
into the atmosphere, don't wait up.
I have OCD, depression,
and I cannot fail to mention
that I thrive on your attention,
I'm dependent on connection.
Many people's lives are harder
but some still will make it farther.
Your potential has no limits,
find strengths in your faults for instance:
I'm not the best at admitting my flaws,
but I'm the best at making them rhyme.
It's all in jest; everything I ingest
makes me less depressed some of the time.
At least I'm self aware!
I can learn to love me
even while wearing my heart on my sleeve.
At least I'm self aware!
These flaws make up a person,
climb a mountain; close the curtain.
[Sydthereal1]
I'm a twenty-something rapper, yeah
I may not have the most swagger. (nope)
At least I'm not an actor,
unaware of all the chatter.
Let's see all the facts and factors and
cut out the blabs and blabber;
it's the one and only chatter to be
held up on this ladder.
I'm not perfect, that's okay (it's okay)
This song might need to replay
till I understand that life goes
up and down in different ways.
You might need to correct me and
sometimes insults infect me.
I don't let them turn too deadly or
weigh on myself too heavy cause...
[All in unison]
At least I'm self aware!
I can learn to love me
even while wearing my heart on my sleeves.
At least I'm self aware!
[Eric Robbins]
I have my flaws but I'm on my way up
into the atmosphere, don't wait up.
I have my flaws but I'm on my way up
into the atmosphere, don't wait up.
