J'me Tire

I'm out, don't ask me why I left without reason
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening
It's sad to say but nothing saddens me anymore
Let me go far from here
To keep smiling, I used to tell myself there are worse things
If that's how it is, well, screw the artist's life
I know it sounds cliché to say we're targeted
But I want to say it just for the rhyme

I'm out to a place where I won't be the suspect
Then I'll change my name like Cassius Clay
A place where I won't need to grab the mic
A place where everyone doesn't care about my life

I'm out, don't ask me why I left without reason
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening
It's sad to say but nothing saddens me anymore
Let me go far from here
To keep smiling, I used to tell myself there are worse things
If that's how it is, well, screw the artist's life
I know it sounds cliché to say we're targeted
But I want to say it just for the rhyme

If I stay, people will surely avoid me like the plague
Your interviews have given me too many headaches
The truth is I self-hate
I have to preserve all that's left
And all those people who would like to take my phone
Go tell them I'm not their role model
Thanks to those who say 'Meu-gui we love you
Despite your ebony color'

I'm out to a place where I won't be the suspect
Then I'll change my name like Cassius Clay
A place where I won't need to grab the mic
A place where everyone doesn't care about my life

I'm out, don't ask me why I left without reason
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening
It's sad to say but nothing saddens me anymore
Let me go far from here
To keep smiling, I used to tell myself there are worse things
If that's how it is, well, screw the artist's life
I know it sounds cliché to say we're targeted
But I want to say it just for the rhyme

I left without saying a word, without thinking: What will become of me?
Stop! Don't think anymore, meu-gui
Stop: Don't think anymore: Go!
Left without lying, without thinking: What will become of me?
Stop! Don't think anymore, meu-gui
Stop: Don't think anymore: Go!

I'm out, don't ask me why I left without reason
Sometimes I feel my heart hardening
It's sad to say but nothing saddens me anymore
Let me go far from here
To keep smiling, I used to tell myself there are worse things
If that's how it is, well, screw the artist's life
I know it sounds cliché to say we're targeted
But I want to say it just for the rhyme
