Neighbors Lyrics

Enough with the comparisons, I’m walking with the pair I’m in
I’m tired of feeling small when I’m standing next to veterans
Or better men, nah, I don’t believe that shit
It was foolish to think that my rise would be that quick
(but I’m climbing)

‘Cause I don’t want to quit when my heart breaks
And I just want to kill it in everything that I partake
I don’t give a fuck if I get no love from my state
As long as I can walk away from all this knowing I’m great
(but I’m not yet)

So maybe this love is gon drive me crazy
My obsession is perfection and loneliness is my lady
I’ve never felt equal so I’ve never had peers
Insecurity solidified from running all these years
(but I’m tired)

Am I scared of the good life?
Happiness? what that look like?
I got love but that’s not enough
I got a normal life, time to give it up
I ain’t leaving this for anything
But if I do leave, it’ll be with everything
I used to be scared of the greatest
Now I can’t smile til those legends are my neighbors

(but they’re not yet)
I wonder when my world is torn asunder
Will my music be remembered or will time have pulled me under?
And Time is where it started, an ending and a genesis
The hate has been my motivation chasing after tenderness
(but it eludes me)

Sometimes I feel like I’m not as good as I say I am
But anything is possible if Dylan made the band
And I am not the type of man to stand here and hate on him
But I need this confidence to put these rappers on my plate again
(but they ain’t cooked yet)

I’m in the game now and critics got words for the words I say now
But a couple bad ones ain’t enough for me to lay down
All I care about is if you’re feelin’ me
Just want to make them flip like when they first heard Energy
(but they’re calm still)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
