A Bloody Introvert | Oluwadunjoye John Tobi

cool it was in the beginning
living like I'm a stranger to sinning
friends around me go thinning
as me and me policies go clinging

everyone take me for a Jew
thinking I will feel left out
they've forgotten what I've been through
hellish weather's I've passed out

filters I needed, but sieves I got
to remove all the haters
how much more plainly have I sought
to do away with biased dictators

you say I'll be alone, give it time and I would see
that I should blend to ur attitudes and act like a man
what did y'all think would happen to me
seems u didn't know but that was the plan
