MONARCH

I was an adolescent, Call of Duty, playing Tekken
Traded games for headphones, it was almost destined
Try to fit in high school, change the way I present
Myself, my clothes, my mindset, my energy was threatened
In class, I was excelling
At lunch, I fight depression
Felt like I had repellent, question why I get rejected
But every time I lose a fuck to give, I get accepted
I guess that I didn't get the message it's uncool to second
Guess yourself, be confident on your own quest and
Don't look to external sources to be your fuel and weapons
From a caterpillar to a butterfly
From a caterpillar to a butterfly
From crawling on the floor to watching all your loved ones die
From looking to the ground to keeping your head to the sky
I hope you feel more comfortable
Where did that sparkle inside my eye, that fire in my supply
That treaty in my Versailles go? Time flies
I used to have an idol
Everyone, everything is trying to decide your future
Gotta define your destiny
When you're doing it different, they gon' judge you heavily
Sometimes they just don't get it, sometimes it is jealousy
But focus on your goal, your concern is your legacy
'Cause when it's said and done, you're the one who gon' rest in peace
The answers and the strength that I needed were always in my possession
My dreams and aspirations the reason for my progression
The hours started to show, creating is my obsession
Losing all my connections to people I gave affection
My independence is threatened, I have to be a success
I have to reach for perfection, that's that voice in your head
Don't let it pressure you
Just be who you are til' you're dead
From a caterpillar to a butterfly
From a caterpillar to a butterfly
From crawling on the floor to watching all your loved ones die
From looking to the ground to keeping your head to the sky
From crawling on the floor to watching all your loved ones die
From looking to the ground to keeping your head to the sky
I hope you feel more comfortable
