CHASTIZED AND ADULATED

                                                  CHASTIZED AND ADULATED

Am just tired of the world

Am just tired I am been chastised 

I hate it when my existence doesn't make you happy

I am 19 I decide what I do 

Am grown stop caring about me 

I don't want you I don't need it

No shackles to my goosebumps

I try my best to make me the best 

They always make me feel wigged-out 

Now you make me exist like dross

Came across the cold bathhouse

Empty like the street I passed on earlier

My past and present makes me uncomfortable

You make me adulated in front of the world

I stood in the bathtub thinking of what to do next

I made my life a mystery one 

I came out of the bathtub

Walking at 6am, birds in the sky chirping and going high

I have been purloined to my contract

I have been gallant for a long time

It's high time i persevere me

I just believe the water has saved me so I believe.
