[Chorus]They told me don't be soft, soft, soft, softSoft, soft, softLil' homie, don't be soft, soft, soft, softSoft, soft, softThey told me don't be soft, you should play your partWhat's it really mean, really mean to have heart?Just be really mean, low esteem, keep your thoughts to yourselfWhat they sell, but I'm tired of bein' hardLike this is what you want, huh? Want me to be tough, huh?'Cause I see the real you, one beyond the front, huh?You scared to be soft, yeah, yeahWhy you so scared to be soft? Yeah, yeah[Verse]Everybody jackin' therapy, I been in thеre since ten yеars oldSince when I had to hide it, make excuses for my scheduleGot brave enough to say, "Doctor's appointment," but still never toldWhen I was so used to pain, was scared of what could pleasure holdSince I can't show 'em me, said I'ma impress 'em moreAnd make 'em see a version of myself that they'd accept and soI grinded for whoever was my target demographicThat's why it's takin' me so long to truly draw my inner atlasBut I done made the map now (Oh, oh)The truest me ain't gonna play the background (No, no)Ain't lookin' for no one to give me pass now (Go, go)I wake up with integrity, I got it for the low-lowAll it cost was years of work, tryin' to reveal my hurtFindin' where my fears would lurk, tryna make the tears occurGot here, now the ceiling's burst, times I couldn't feel my worthBottled, bottled, bottled, now I'll show you how a spirit works[Chorus]They told me don't be soft, soft, soft, softSoft, soft, softLil' homie, don't be soft, soft, soft, softSoft, soft, softThey told me don't be soft, you should play your partWhat's it really mean, really mean to have heart?Just be really mean, low esteem, keep your thoughts to yourselfWhat they sell, but I'm tired of bein' hardLike this is what you want, huh?
