Critical - The Jokerr, Masetti, Dubbs

I’m mad and I’m insane, I worry I couldn’t change from the moment I remember

the memories that I once knew

There’s something inside of me that I’ll never know

While other’s are fine with 9 to 5's, while flippin' burgers and fries I’m

trying to keep alive the dreams when I was 5 to strive to be forever known

And I ain’t talkin' money and the fame, I know that it’s all the same getting

caught up in the game, I never thought it would be easy I don’t wanna complain

I know life is more than music, but to me it’s the same

And now it’s all that I have, no one left to remind me the future is brighter

than what I’m leaving behind me

Like I’m living so blindly, but now that I see I got nobody else to blame but me

Why am I so critical?

(critical)

Wondering how that it got so far, tearing my down right from the start

When will I learn that it’s not my fault?

Why am I so critical?

(critical)

I’ve never been so afraid of myself, and I’m too proud to ask for help

Guess I gotta work with the cards I’m dealt

Why am I so critical?

Why do I do this to myself?

Can’t begin to imagine what it’s doing to my health

When I sit in this room stressing for hours on this audio

Picking apart to start loosing myself

And what’s funny is when you hear it if you listen it seems all the doubt and

insecurity is missing from me

It’s like when I’m behind this mic it’s a different me

Or I guess I’m just projecting what I wish I could be

I’m like the kid at 14 who doesn’t think he can make the team

Even though his friends say he’s set up for the major leagues

The kid who let somebody tinker with his crazy dream, who never believed that

being himself is the way to be

But if you took it away I bet I wouldn’t be the same over confident,

that put me in the cage

So I should probably acknowledge it, and capture it’s wealth run with and stop

asking myself

Guess I gotta work with the cards I’m dealt

Why am I so critical?

I’ve never been concerned with the pressure of the limelight

I’ve only been about only getting my own mind right

I’m broken record player in from a cracked mirror in the basement of the house

that I burnt down (down)

I’ve been the ball and the chain dragging from the shackle on the ankle of my

brain while my self-sabotaging ass laughs in the background let me tell you all

what I’ve learned now

Worst than being a fraud is being real with the fucked up self image of your

own skill

When good is never good, God I need pill my obsession is the definition of over

kill, and

When I get my confidence shakin', I turn it up a notch and get to over

compensatin'

Am I honest when I tell you that I have nothing to hide or am I trying to fix

something inside?

Why am I so critical (critical)

Wondering how that it got so far, tearing my down right from the start

When will I learn that it’s not my fault?
