leave me alone

Machine Gun Kelly (mgk)

This is just a real song, you know
MGK, Rock City let s go!

They said I been wrong for way too long
I wish they would leave me alone
They said I ain t strong and I can t hold on
I wish they would leave me alone
He said, she said, that I m wanted by the law
I wish they would leave me alone
And ain t no wanted man gonna get too far
I wish they would leave me alone

I never would ve thought as a kid dreaming to record
That I would ve went through more ups
and downs that a seesaw
But this a grown man s world so you need balls
Million and one problems, the fuck you bitching at me for?
Bruh, but what you eat doesn t make me shit
So no matter what I mma make these hits
Cause hating on you couldn t make me rich
So I gotta, gotta go get that dollar and the fifteen cents
For the profit don t equal the rent
Shit, I m a father, I gotta feed my kids
And I wish that I could say I had 15 friends
Who happy to see my success
and don t want a piece of my ends
Cause what they don t understand
is I m struggling just like them
I just pray that my story is gon be happy in the end

They said I been wrong for way too long
I wish they would leave me alone
They said I ain t strong and I can t hold on
I wish they would leave me alone
He said, she said, that I m wanted by the law
I wish they would leave me alone
And ain t no wanted man gonna get too far
I wish they would leave me alone

And I pray for happiness in these sad times
Hope someday my life will bubble like it s bath time
What else? Maybe somewhere countin numbers
like it s math time
So I gotta grind, no breaks, fuck halftime
I ve had a job since fourteen
Pushing carts, fast food, scrubbing floors, yeah
I done the whole thing
But I was fed up, couldn t just work for anybody
And I guess it s true what they say
school s not for everybody
I m just a dropout, nineteen with no hope
But my notebook front to back is full of big dreams of SoHo
And I don t know, how to answer my girl when she ask
When you gonna work and leave this music in the past?

They said I been wrong for way too long
I wish they would leave me alone
They said I ain t strong and I can t hold on
I wish they would leave me alone
He said, she said, that I m wanted by the law
I wish they would leave me alone
And ain t no wanted man gonna get too far
I wish they would leave me alone

If it is what I ask for, a little money in my pocket
and a passport
But I never knew that it would come at the price
Of a hundred people hatin on me, now I gotta wear a mask or
Just fast forward, cause the internet thug
in this city wanna see you fail
But if you rewind, know I ve been through hell
So no matter what I will prevail
So my father or my daughter or myself and all my team
And these labels couldn t change me either, not one thing
See the streets want me to thug
and corporate America thinks I m priceless
If I remove the curse and live my life like Miley Cyrus
But I m none of that, fuck that
the money couldn t change me
Still the underdog, still the kid, it s the same me
Came from the bottom on my own
And I did it as MGK, fuck off and leave me alone
I m gone

They said I been wrong for way too long
I wish they would leave me alone
They said I ain t strong and I can t hold on
I wish they would leave me alone
He said, she said, that I m wanted by the law
I wish they would leave me alone
And ain t no wanted man gonna get too far
I wish they would leave me alone
