The Invisible Man

VERSE 1

I’m right in front of you but u don’t even see me. went to school with u since k2 practically babies still don’t even know the answer to a simple question. What is my name?

Life ain’t a game u win or u lose A simple claim, But hey what does it matter not like this making me sadder. I get stomped on walked over I feel like life got me screwed over. nothing even makes sense anymore when people describe me they call me a bore but no more. I’m sick of being last pick. I’m sick of being that kid. I’m sick of feeling alone like nobody there for me. I’m hurting now why can’t u see. This worse than a burn 3rd degree. This ain’t me I ain’t the silent type or the one when u spread disrespect to not get tight or even fight, But do u ever ask the question what’s wrong? No u let this phase go on thinking it won’t be long but your wrong.

CHORUS

I don’t know what to feel I don’t know wat to think tell me what would u do if u were me and not u? I don’t know anymore I feel invisible. I feel invisible.

VERSE 2

When u say u hate me or that u don’t like me u don’t understand the demons trying to bite me and fight me. The anxiety the pain but for me there is no gain. I’m empty useless a waste of space I am my parents biggest discrace born in the wrong place. I have no place. U don’t see me till u need some. u don’t see me till u need to take some U don’t see me. I am always there but u never notice call me the Invisible man. All u have to do is show some respect if u can. I mean like damn I’m screaming into a void. When I open up they respond like a droid. So programmed like they don’t even care. Go on ask me what’s wrong if u dare plz just show me ur there.

CHORUS

I don’t know what to feel I don’t know wat to think tell me what would u do if u were me and not u? I don’t know anymore I feel invisible. I feel invisible. Invisible man. Invisible man. Invisible man.

VERSE 3

Sorry I am not perfect, sorry that I talk back, but the way u testing me is entirely whack. Your plans to knock me down then build me back, but you don’t see the pieces that I have come to lack. I’m broken. I’m incomplete this cycle of self doubt is stuck on repeat. Go ahead and ignore me as if i don’t matter go ahead and judge me without a single question on the matter. The way u insult me is a stab in the back. Still not seeing the mindset u lack. It’s bad enough people hate on me cause I’m black I don’t need other people claiming that my personality’s crap. And that’s that.
