C.O.F.F.I.N. by Madkol Lyrics
Some people say it’s easy for me, but the lyrics only
Portray a side of me that seems adoring of a stereotypical picture that the people drawing
Yeah, root for the underdog, misfit, who’s feeling lonely
Give him rap music so now he can speak his story
But I don’t speak a story of the need to feel important
I don’t write these words down to get you to feel for me
Don’t get me wrong, I was always having people ignore me
I was socially off, and used to feel like the only, person I could speak to was myself……
So I pursued a passion that’s never leavin’ me lonely
I just like to rhyme, that’s the truth, that’s the real story
And I could stay on this beat until the beat owns me
A song with no chorus, call that freefalling
Now I’m at the top of the game, look what my life’s become
If rap is a ladder, then I guess I’m on the highest rung
And homie, I could keep this flow goin’ ’til my mind is numb
You can call me crazy, but I’ve always kinda liked it off
Been that way since I was just a kid, livin’ life alone
Everyday at school, just wishin’ instead that I was home
And I would explain, but you’d never understand
Truth is, I don’t really wanna make you understand
There’s few people who know me, who really get who I am
So I just take a look around and thank God for the ones can
It’s just me, myself, and all a y’all. and I’m lovin’ that
So let’s kill ‘em with hip-hop, makin’ ‘em understand
That every lyric is a weapon, this ain’t just another rap
So I’ll fight for the moment, it’s my time to own it
It’s my time to show that I’ll never quit ’til it’s over
So you all can shut up, this music is my story
You never listened to me, you missed out when I told it
So now it’s too late, I don’t give a hater a second chance
Mama told me never look back, just forget your past
You can never change nothin,' you can never get it back
So I’m runnin’ for the finish and I ain’t regrettin’ that
I fight ’til it hurts, and I fight through the worst
I never settle for second, I only fight to be first
I’m just that kid in his bed, writin’ songs in the black
One light on the page, one night, one chance
Starin’ at my shadow on the wall with a pen
Tryin’ to make a rhyme outta everything in my head
Tryin’ to make sense outta nothin’ that makes sense
Tryin’ to figure out why I was always treated cruel
Gettin’ bullied at school, by the badass of the group
Just cause I was never cool, didn’t play by the rules
Never followed the sheep, didn’t stick with the brood
Was laughed at for bein’ gifted, for tryin’ to make a livin’
It’s no wonder why they say that everybody’s a critic
In a world full of hate, I’d rather have forgiveness
So I can show everybody the real reason I’m in this
Hold up, rewind it, Im’ma take you back now
Listen up, cause it’s finally time that I stand out
I was just a kid, strugglin’ to survive
Nobody ever thought that I was gonna make it in life
But I kept on strivin’, to keep on writin’
Every time I fell, I, kept on fightin’
Man I had regrets, but I kept on tryin’
No let’s say I was a stand up guy
Never failed, a straight A student my whole life
I never smoked pot and I never got high
Now let’s say, my brain wasn’t messed up from drugs
I was never seen drunk, or smokin’ a blunt
And sellin’ weed at my school, it’s no wonder I flunked
And nobody understood, why I couldn’t give it up
Like when I was on kush, it was only for fun
When I was hangin' from the ceiling with a rope around my neck
I wasn’t just a little pissed, I was so full of regret
So you can blame me, play me, I’ll still stay me
I don’t need the crowd, so go ahead, hate me
Man, I’m just glad that, I can be different
I’m ok with the fact that, I’m a social misfit
I don’t care if I’m the guy, that no one can put up with
You thought I was off, cause I never did what you punks did
But I could prove you wrong with every song I come up with
I’m rappin’ with vengeance, call that poetic justice
Now let’s take it back again, to the 6th grade class
I was sittin’ in the back, with a notebook in my hand
And the teacher’s yellin’ at me, “Don’t think I can't see yo’ ass!”
“You need to be focusing,” I was hopin’ she wouldn’t notice me
So I just held up my paper and said, “I’m takin’ notes, see, it, ain’t homework
But it’s the only thing that’s holdin’ me, together, when I’m walkin’ through my whole life hopelessly
And the only witness to it is a bedroom full of poetry
If I died in my sleep tonight, I’d die as a lonely freak
So when I pull the trigger, see if anyone’s noticing
If anyone even cares about the loser who’s socially messed up
And totally dysfunctional, but I ain’t changin’ a thing, I’ll only be
Myself, that’s the only person I’m ever gonna be
And you arrogant haters don’t understand an anomaly
You’re talkin’ like you think that you’re better and over me
But who are you to talk? The same people that smokin’ weed
And gettin’ high, snortin’ cocaine ’til your noses bleed
Every night on the streets, slangin’ and gangbangin’
I remember as a kid, always havin’ to be bracin’
For the worst, all the doctors told me I wouldn’t make it
But now I’m livin’ proof that the hopeless can rise to greatness
Portray a side of me that seems adoring of a stereotypical picture that the people drawing
Yeah, root for the underdog, misfit, who’s feeling lonely
Give him rap music so now he can speak his story
But I don’t speak a story of the need to feel important
