Not Gonna Happen
[Chorus]
I don't know what you want from me
Is it giving in to you or is it taking what I got and leaving?
I don't know what you want from me
Always complaining, giving looks, [?], you had me mistook
I'm not yours to toss around
I'm not there to be stomped on, you're stifling me, I'm getting out
I'm not yours to fuck with
I'm not some average nebbish with no spine, you screwed me over for the last time
[Verse 1]
This is a promise, you said
Change is upon us, you said
Everything was about to take a turn for the better, I thought I'll let ya
Try to become someone new, try to rectify the nuisance
That you caused already, holdin' you on my back got so damn heavy
I was ready to let go and move on
But all I heard was, "no, why don't you hold on?"
A minute quickly turned into days
And soon, things returned to their old ways
Stuck in the middle again, why was I such a good friend?
Sacrificing my own sanity, can I be so naïve to believe this bullshit?
Talk means zilch without some action
Fool me twice, no, not gonna happen
Not gonna happen
Not-not-not gonna happen
No, not gonna happen
[Chorus]
I don't know what you want from me
Is it giving in to you or is it taking what I got and leaving?
I don't know what you want from me
Always complaining, giving looks, [?], you had me mistook
I'm not yours to toss around
I'm not there to be stomped on, you're stifling me, I'm getting out
I'm not yours to fuck with
I'm not some average nebbish with no spine, you screwed me over for the last time
[Verse 2]
Each time, I made believe again
Rewind, erase the speech and then
Maybe things will turn around on their own
Conflicts resolved, this rip is sewn up
With a stitch or two, everything's right back to square two
'Cause square one is taken by the people who don't have a past or past disasters who think it'll last
We're inevitably co-dependent, and I'm insecure, you're fucked up for sure
So we need each other 'cause we feed each other
I can breathe another breath
No oxygen I'm letting in until I finally fix this mess
You monopolize my time, suck my energy, my life
You changed me for the worst, you see
Catalyzed catastrophe within me
And I refuse to let you back
And fool me twice, no, not gonna happen
No, not gonna happen
Not-not gonna happen
Not gonna happen this time
[Chorus]
I don't know what you want from me
Is it giving in to you or is it taking what I got and leaving?
I don't know what you want from me
Always complaining, giving looks, [?], you had me mistook
I'm not yours to toss around
I'm not there to be stomped on, you're stifling me, I'm getting out
I'm not yours to fuck with
I'm not some average nebbish with no spine, you screwed me over for the last time
[Verse 3]
I was at the end of my wits
I could've given two large shits
You encroached on my life like a killer praying mantis might
To be perfectly honest, I sometimes tricked you and hid in my closet
Always afraid you'd drop more bombs, it'd freak me out when you deposit
This big old load of stress on me
What, you think I'm not already stressing?
Potentially I got mouths to feed, and class to attend, schoolwork knee-deep
Not an endless supply of emotional support
My ship's not for every port, you seem
Like a cat, picking fights night after night
Some kinda psycho, right?
Your behavior made me say, "see you later"
Gotta fight for my rights as a human being
Get a new prescription 'cause you didn't see
How you played me like a marionette
I got wearier yet, you didn't care for me back then
And now I'm here rappin'
Fool me twice, no, not gonna happen
Not gonna happen
[Chorus]
I don't know what you want from me
Is it giving in to you or is it taking what I got and leaving?
I don't know what you want from me
Always complaining, giving looks, [?], you had me mistook
I'm not yours to toss around
I'm not there to be stomped on, you're stifling me, I'm getting out
I'm not yours to fuck with
I'm not some average nebbish with no spine, you screwed me over for the last time
