Loathing - Fiyablasta, Ashley Rose

Chorus: Ashley Rose

Loathing

If there’s one thing that I can’t take

It’s this world that’s so full of hate

Never one thought about what they say

And the weight on my brain with anxiety

Loathing

Even when I try to escape

Trying to hide my scars from the pain

I feel so stained, and I’m saying that it’s bothering me

Loathing

Verse 1: Fiyablasta

The feeling I got from jealous ones

The hate they spray like shotgun casings since their days are hellish ones

But I was frail when their words were flying like «Ugly Duckling»

This bird wasn’t flocking with their feathers, so they were chuckling

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Saying my tone should be negro instead of white

But I thought I was being me, just like I was taught to

Yet, intelligence makes me negligent to my roots according to both hues?

And so they see me try to shake it off

Make them scoff;

since the music wasn’t gang banging, claiming soft

The way I talk, the way I walk were targets for it all

Small minded people couldn’t picture my thinking large

Since it was different from the usual

I had to ask, «Do I have to be like them to be cool to dudes?»

Wanting to be accepted while wanting to change the same

The cool nerd became my aim, but they brush me off as a lame

That’s why I’m loathing

Chorus: Ashley Rose

Verse 2: Fiyablasta

Surrounded by my peers pressing

Molded my esteem a bit as I start second guessing

Popularity’s becoming more important in the seventh

Graded in the lower eighth cause good grades aren’t all impressive

Still considered an Oreo amongst all the classmates

Though, I finally found that behavior has no attached race

But now I get picked on for my skill in athletics

Not too pathetic;

still the sidelines and my cleats were magnetic

Attracted the outcasts, since my mouth casts kindness

Treating friends like acquaintances, since my smiles hide this

Feeling that no one really likes me;

some don’t mind just

Tolerating my company during school times;

it’s

At that moment, I hated how I stick out

Even though, I tried to become everyone’s Malcolm in the Middle

That pressure caved me and crying for help

That night I won’t forget where my mama knelt

Aiding me cope with my self-loathing

Chorus: Ashley Rose

Verse 3: Fiyablasta

The fact that I still can’t escape it

The fact that half of my jokes are still self-deprecating

The truth that I see me as a failure in the making

Cause although I’m made amazing, I settle in my complacence

Am I hypocritical to push people to positivity

When I’m the same as them, by letting all my flaws get to me?

The hate decayed my flame a decade ago

Since my insecurities they called out are unshakeable

Caught up in looks, cause I ain’t got them

Decisions have me shook;

I slalom

Because chances I took end rotten

I’m broke as a joke cause I choked helping folks

As a CNA or PCT and seeing a poor me be TLC’s

Definition of scrub

That’s why I’m not showing me any love

I HATE ME!

I hate that I hate me

Cause as a kid, I was raised to live a great me

But now I’m never good enough to even take compliments

Behind all the confidence is a man lost in his own loathing

Chorus: Ashley Rose

Outro:

And lastly, I want to get out of here for good.

And after I do, I don’t want to

pay no taxes, like, forever!

You want the Fiyablasta, he has some demands
