Consider My Feelings (prod. Bill Beats)

about

A song about valuing your emotions, listening to your heart, and being kind.

lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yo
I don’t think I’m trash, but I’ve been in denial
Don’t think I’m bad but I’ve been trapped inside a vicious cycle
I undervalue my values and screw the cap up tight
So when I spiral up to my maximum I get mad and spiteful

Make sure my pride is set aside, don’t want to seem entitled
Fake that I’m happy, deep inside I keep my feelings stifled
Take all the crap I’ve been handed and greet it with a smile
But now I see that I’ve been mistaken for quite a while

See I’ve been pushed around
I’ve been walked upon
Been a doormat and I’ve had enough
Got my sensei and my classmates
and a whole family that'll back me up

Got my mom and dad, I got my brother too
I look at all the pain I’ve had to suffer through
And now I wonder why I kept it all inside
When all I had to do was keep in touch with you

Thought I wasn’t important
Felt like a burden and
Pushed my emotions and thoughts to a corner
I wanted to go it alone
But it’s hard on my own
Now I’m home and I know I’m supported

I’m no longer taking my Ls
I’m hoping to openly get over hating myself
I’m making a change for my own mental health
by respecting my feelings and treating them well

[Chorus]

My eyes are open to a world I’ve never seen before
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more
If I think it’s important, it shouldn’t be ignored
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more

My eyes are open to a world I’ve never seen before
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more
If I think it’s important, it shouldn’t be ignored
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more

[Verse 2]

See I wished I was special but now that I’m older I think I see
I’m only as special as those that I treasure consider me
As I grow as a person I notice my friends and community
And connections have grown in importance, is that maturity?

In the face of a sure defeat
My relationships are my security
And when I stand on a stage in a sea of people
Know I’m feeling safe as long as you’re with me

If one day I fade to obscurity
We can take a break on a secluded creek
Watch the clouds go by, and each other’s eyes
Change colors in the sunlight fluidly

When you said hi, I said hi to you
When we spent time, I started liking you
And though the time we spend is just temporary
I’m in a better state of mind when I ride with you

We got things we like that we’re weird about
You can share your writing and I’ll hear you out
Because I care about you and the things that you value
Are nothing you should be embarrassed about

So what if we’re hiding our reasons, evading the truth
That doesn’t negate that I’m grateful to you
So what if we're doing this charitably
I’m thankful you’re sharing your passion with me

We both wanted someone to see
The way we believe we were meant to be seen
Accept our authentic identities
You’ve been a friend,
and I’ll pick up the pieces
What’s left of our dreams

[Chorus]

My eyes are open to a world I’ve never seen before
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more
If I think it’s important, it shouldn’t be ignored
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more

My eyes are open to a world I’ve never seen before
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more
If I think it’s important, it shouldn’t be ignored
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more

(See I’ve been pushed around
I’ve been walked upon
Been a doormat and I’ve had enough
Got my sensei and my classmates
and a whole family that'll back me up

Got my mom and dad, I got my brother too
I look at all the pain I’ve had to suffer through
And now I wonder why I kept it all inside
When all I had to do was keep in touch with you)


[Outro: Mob]

I don’t think this is trash.
If you’re going to throw it away, I’ll take it.
I’ve made the decision to consider my feelings more.
And you need to pick up things you think are important.
