I got hurt, Because I felt, Truth comes first, But you couldn't take it, When I said it to your face. I'm sorry, I can't fake it. Now you're pretending, Like it's all right, Man, I know what's going on, This is a psuedo-fight. I'm getting hurt, For I think I'm hurting you, I feel guilty, For things I didn't do. I'm no celebrity, But I can't lower my standards, And celebrate mediocrity. You can't accept what's true, It's not my problem, I'm working on myself, it's clear I do. So, one day when I'm on top, And still here will be you, Y'all gonna say, Man, lotta time flew.

Being Honest
I got hurt, Because I felt, Truth comes first, But you couldn't take it, When I said it to your face. I'm sorry, I can't fake it. Now you're pretending, Like it's all right, Man, I know what's going on, This is a psuedo-fight. I'm getting hurt, For I think I'm hurting you, I feel guilty, For things I didn't do.

Sounds better when you read it like a rap. Finally the words have spilled onto the paper from my heart. I despise the people that cannot handle others' success. "Work hard in silence. Let success make the noise."
