[Verse 1] You see, you're just a waste of time hidden behind a pretty face
And if I was making you mine, how much of my heart are you gon' break?
I'm stumblin' in it and out of all this love to find my way
I'm sick of you breakin' me down, now all I've found is empty space
And I'm searchin', I'm hurtin', I'm workin', I'm tryna prove to y'all that I'm worth it
I'm here to show you, music can be so much deeper then surface
I'm nervous, the verses I'm spittin' for y'all never sound perfect
I'm learnin' that workin' a nine-to-five was never my purpose, I'm certain
How can you tell me that I stand above the rest?
That would mean that I'd be standing on the guy you choose next
See, I would wait, now it's too late, you walked away from the best
It's up to you to wear the weight of that regret like a vest
And it's hard, I'm stuck here tryin' to follow up my kindest regards
I've been staring at this fuckin' blank page for twenty-four hours
I'm goin' crazy, or maybe that's what they made me
Or maybe I'm sick of fake, see I was dumb to think that one girl could save… me
I should be saving myself
I can barely afford my rent, that got me questioning wealth
My sister's really really sick, that got me questioning health
I wanna save the world, but couldn't save her from herself, damn
Now she's laid up in the ICU
That made me realize all the fake shit that I see through
That made me realize all the power in an "I love you"
We would pray everyday, hopin' that you came to
We've come through the trenches, I'm set on spreading a message
I'm staring up at the sky and I'm praying for my ascension
I'm countin' all of my blessings, you're countin' all of your mentions
See, focus on what you love, not this drug we're calling attention, that's real
So who's fuckin' with me?

[Chorus] So tell me what I am right now (right now)
Now tell me what I've got to lose (got to lose)
You try your best at breakin' me down (breakin' me down)
Well, you ain't never been in my shoes, shoes, shoes
I'm tired of bein' used, used, used
So take me as I am, I don't wanna lose
'Cause you know that if I'm eating, y'all are eating too
This is dinner… for two

[Verse 2] See, I've been stuck searchin' for motivation, probably in all the wrong places
Like girls, girls, girls, and girls, you see, I'm searchin' in basic
I want someone to build with me, not just someone to take it
I want someone to feel with me, not just someone to fake it
I'm over this fake shit, still worried sick if I'll make it
Now everybody has a dream, see, I'm just willing to chase it
Let's take a look around your cubicle, see talent that's wasted
This is your life, it's your life, so don't just copy and paste it
Now, open your mind, but not your legs, give 'em the mind, but not the head
This is your story, you decide how it's gon' finally be read
And these are lyrics that I think about late night in my bed
If I never pursue my passion, then I'm already dead
So when they try to break us down, that's when we stand up
We were the kids who weren't supposed to win, so they can't stand us
I'm standin' on the stage, lights glarin', people starin' with their hands up
They told me I could never be the man, and now I am—what?
So who's fuckin' with me?

[Chorus] So tell me what I am right now (right now)
Now tell me what I've got to lose (got to lose)
You try your best at breakin' me down (breakin' me down)
Well, you ain't never been in my shoes, shoes, shoes
I'm tired of bein' used, used, used
So take me as I am, I don't wanna lose
'Cause you know that if I'm eating, y'all are eating too
This is dinner… for two
Tell me what I am right now (right now)
Now tell me what I've got to lose (got to lose)
You try your best at breakin' me down (breakin' me down)
Well, you ain't never been in my shoes, shoes, shoes
I'm tired of bein' used, used, used
So take me as I am, I don't wanna lose
'Cause you know that if I'm eating, y'all are eating too
This is dinner… for two
