I’m original, so original, I’m original, the original

Tell me, why I feel like I must keep up Reaching for what I just can't touch No I never can get enough
Tell me, why I’m hustlin’ everyday Spending time like its currency Paying bills but I can't buy change
Pressure all around me Is this who I’m supposed to be Sick and tired of fittin’ the mold
Dysfunction is the cycle That’s makin me a psycho And I don’t have to take it no more

So overrated, too fabricated for me
So close to jaded
but I still choose to believe I’ve been created for something greater
I’m a fighter, igniter, yeah I’m the original

Tell me, why we're struggling everyday
Try to hide behind things we say While we lose our identity
Tell me, if we choose to be who we are Don't pretend to be what we're not Show the world what's inside your heart
Pressure all around me Is this who I’m supposed to be Sick and tired of fittin’ the mold
Dysfunction is the cycle That’s makin me a psycho And I don’t have to take it no more
