I'm from the East side of America
00:22
Where we choose pride over character
00:25
And we can pick sides, but this is us
00:28
This is us, this is
00:30
I live on the West side of America
00:33
Where they spin lies into fairy dust
00:36
And we can pick sides, but this is us
00:38
This is us, this is
00:41
And don't believe the narcissism
00:44
When everyone projects
00:46
And expects you to listen to 'em
00:47
Make no mistake, I live in a prison
00:49
That I built myself, it is my religion
00:51
And they say that I am the sick boy
00:54
Easy to say, when you don't take the risk, boy
00:56
Welcome to the narcissism
01:00
Yeah, we're united under our indifference
01:02
And I'm from the East side of America
01:05
Where we desensitize by hysteria
01:08
And we can pick sides, but this is us
01:10
This is us, this is
01:13
I live on the West side of America
01:16
Where they spin lies into fairy dust
01:18
And we can pick sides, but this is us
01:21
This is us, this is
01:24
I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy
01:28
I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy
01:34
(I'm from the East side of America)
01:37
They say that I am the sick boy
01:40
(I live on the West side of America)
01:43
And they call me the sick boy
01:45
Don't believe the narcissism
01:48
When everyone projects
01:50
And expects you to listen to 'em
01:51
Make no mistake, I live in a prison
01:53
That I built myself, it is my religion
01:55
And they say that I am the sick boy
01:58
Easy to say, when you don't take the risk, boy
02:00
Welcome to the narcissism
02:04
Where we're united under our indifference
02:06
Feed yourself with my life's work
02:09
How many likes is my life worth?
02:11
Feed yourself with my life's work
02:14
How many likes is my life worth?

Feed yourself on my life's work
02:25
How many likes is my life worth?

I'm from the East side of AmericaWhere we choose pride over character
