mathew robbins - arabian nights lyrics

Loading...

[chorus: mathew robbins]

knuckles white, fingers calloused
tryna claw into the palace
imma prove that i’m the one
imma show the world my prowess

lose your grip tryna climb
chasing wind wasting time
fallen victim to lights
of arabian nights

what you got to prove
don’t get fooled by envy
ali is living proof
this world will leave you empty

you are not your talents
i just want you to know
you can’t hold but so much
why not let go

[verse 1 + mathew robbins]

this is my premiere
this was my audition
had to fight my fears
use my intuition
couldn’t sleep at night
feeling insufficient
remind me when
i needed yall’s permission

stress is running at a constant high
all my doubts i buried
coming back alive, i’m claiming faith
but my fret of failing, is something i just can’t falsify

over+n+lyzing till i’m paranoid
at my wits end tryna prove a point
tryna force the issue bout to lose my poise
all for what to be the people choice

together is something that i’ll never be
even though i at times i pretended to be
i know it’ll happen if it’s meant to be
’cause a man cannot avoid destiny

i’ll+never+find+the+answer
so why keep searching
i know i won’t find peace
tryna reach for a piece of an alternate version, its a diversion

i don’t feel secure
in a place or person
i won’t get far
if i take the burden

been around block
a a hundred times
on the 99th try
i quit circling

what makes a man
is it gained possessions
or attained position
or acclaimed perceptions

is it fair to question
who’s input matters
’cause not everybody
has the best discretion

i learned to filter out peoples comments
doubts deposited destroy confidence
a lot of critics love to condescend
but mama raised me to use my common sense

i’ve always been a perfectionist
it only made me self+negligent
working hard to check all the boxes
fatigued from meeting these preferences
thats the soundtrack to my life
i won’t change the lyrics or melody
walk to the beat of my drum
i won’t change the rhythm for jealously

or vain conceit
my strength is peace
people pleasing
only leaves vacancies

i’ll be transparent, please pray for me
so i don’t fall into complacency

i want the well done
that’s my only prize
joined the kingdom
watch it all align

auctioned off ali
that was asinine
i left agrobah
and found adonai
