Don't Gotta Love Me

Hook:
They ain't gotta love me
Just respect my art
Lemme tell you something
I've held close to my heart
I've felt like I'm nothing
Felt alone in the dark
That feeling is numbing
It's been there from the start

Verse 1:
Now you ain't gotta love me
We can drink till I'm buzzed
Feel warm when you hug me
Like your arms are my drug
I imagine us fucking
But it's not what I want
I wanna take it really slow
Until I know you're the one
I know that's fucked up
Callin me old fashioned
So like Charlie I'm shunned
Just a skeptic in the dark
I cover up my sleeve
So you can't see my heart
And then after you leave
I see that I was smart
I don't let nobody close
Baby get out my yard
Cuz I'm bound to explode
Love will tear us apart
If ya close enuff to know
Baby pull up and park
Have a taste of my soul
And find a place in my heart

Hook:
They ain't gotta love me
Just respect my art
Lemme tell you something
I've held close to my heart
I've felt like I'm nothing
Felt alone in the dark
That feeling is numbing
It's been there from the start

Verse 2:
Felt like I'm nothin it's an ongoin task
I felt discarded like trash
I never thought this would last
But here I am in the past
Draftin up new plans
With my mental tapdance
And I ain't really a fan
I'm feelin poked and jabbed
Always so damn mad
Sooner dead than glad
If given half the chance
I'll fuck it up that's a fact
I overthink everything
Write out paragraphs
Of the bullshit you bring
Then compare and contrast
Ven diagrams for datt ass
Find old shyt to rehash
From all the trauma I've had
My sanity is a mask
I take it off when I rap
So if I seem like a nice guy
You've only seen the half
