J Apollo - envy

Aight, yeah
(Lost inside my head but I'm stuck in a dream)
(The world is on fire and it ain't what it seems)
Lost in my head but I'm stuck in a dream
I know the world is on fire and it ain't what it seems
Man these motherfuckers tripping, and I ain't talking Eem
Tryna get a new position but you're still on the team (yeah)
I see the jealousy, these boys they start to envy me
My energy is heavenly, serenity in melodies
I got some cool memories, generally show empathy
Said you wanna be like me but I cannot have ten of me
Tendency to leave you breathlessly and there's some chemistry
With me and uh, the microphone, I'm spitting till' I'm seventy
Allegedly a penalty on me because I'm steadily
Chasing what my mind creates and I do it successfully
Said you wanna be where I am right now
Well you can take some inspiration but this my sound
And I ain't even broke the surface but my family proud
And I'm a human like you so you better pipe down boy
(Oh my god, I love your style, where'd you get your rings?)
Bae you saw me on the stage after ending our fling
(Oh you got a new girl, bet she ain't as cute as me)
You're tripping love, I can see your head is full of jealousy
Missed your chance, now you tryna change the narrative
It's embarrassing, I don't hold no envy in my heart
Cause my idols used to be like me, scared and at the start
But the only way to make it is to live inside your art
Yeah I know you want a flame but love you gotta make a spark
And I know that you're afraid of what they think of who you are
Do you realize that some people aren't meant to be a star
And they don't understand the reasons why you feel the need to part
Obsession with the blessings but it turns to a depression
Cause you're wishing that you're first when you could only come in second
You ain't making it to heaven cause you need to learn a lesson
Are you jealous or just insecure? That really is the question
I see people in my comments telling me I'll never make it
And my homies ain't so confident I think that they're debating
What's the point of painting pictures and the sounds that I've created
This is more then just the music this is how I get sedated
But again I say the word, all I see's a bunch of jealousy
Not because my paintings, photos, style or my melodies
All because I got the passion, live inside serenity
All because I stay myself unapologetically
See a lot of people act like something they're not
I think they're stuck in a box, and they're just waiting to rot
But you could flip a switch, turn a head
Never listen what they said
Do what makes you happiest and all your fears will go to bed
