On-screen text

You wanna know what's crazy? The fact that you can be the realest one in the room and still be misunderstood. People see you through whatever version they made up of you in their mind, bro. And once you stop explaining yourself to motherfuckers, life start lifting up off your shoulder and shit. Get lighter, gang. The right motherfuckers gonna understand you without you having to break your back to explain it to them. The wrong ass gonna stay confused no matter what. And half the time motherfuckers be trying to be confused on purpose to make you look cumb. That's why you gotta stop trying to make everybody understand you. And get your ass loose. Cause once you stop doing that, you stop overthinking. You start to stop feeling small around motherfuckers and start to realize you know, you've been trying to stuff yourself in a box that you wasn't even built to fit in. You know what I'm saying?
