Out of Your Mouth

Get my name out of your mouth
I’ve done nothing to you
I’ve led my own existence off to the side
I’ve kept my distance from you
Out of the spotlight, hidden in the shadows
Minding my own business, doing my thing

I’ve been grinding away, working hard
Head down, focused
Had my sights set on my goals
I’ve had nothing more in mind
But my eye on the prize
Nothing will get in my way, nothing will distract me from this

Although you may try
There’s nothing between you and I
No relation, you mean nothing to me
Barely a blip on my mind
Get my name out of your mouth
I’ve done nothing to you

I’ve put my head down and focused on me
It’s best if you focus on you
Do better, be more than you are
A perpetual loser, someone who isn’t winning in life
I don’t know what I’ve done to make you so green
I don’t know what I’ve done to invoke envy

I’ve put my head down and focused on me
It’s best if you focus on you
Nothing I did was with you in mind
Nothing I did was to spite you
There’s nothing between you and I
Whatever disdain you feel was fabricated by you

I’m not around, so I’m easy to blame
A scapegoat for all your troubles
An easy target for you
Someone who can’t defend himself
You’re the source of untruth
I’m a bad guy, a public enemy

It’s easier for you to believe that
Than to do something real
Easier to blame me than to accept responsibility
To admit fault, to hold yourself accountable
Easier to blame me than to say sorry
Easier to blame me than to try to change and improve

There’s nothing between you and I
Get my name out of your mouth
I’ve done nothing to you
I’ve put my head down and focused on me
It’s best if you focus on you
I can’t wait for the day when we are through
