Concept of the video: The names of the paintings around the room are “False Idols” and “Drugs”, people are giving all their attention to the blank paintings showing they are hypnotised and almost controlled by the meaningless things and ignore Witt who plays “The Artist” (which is on the piece of paper next to his box) and it isn’t until he puts so much of himself into his performance that it literally kills him that the people stray their attention from the paintings and onto Witt. In my opinion the video adds so much value to the song and makes the finished product a ‘work of art’ and is just overall incredible.
BushMasterJack I feel like the water also symbolises the fact that his music is drowned out by these shitty mumble rappers in the spotlight. And when Witt's in the spotlight (when they flock to the box) is when he's at the end end of his performance
Hey #TEAMWITT! I hope you all are enjoying the new music video so far! There are multiple layers to this one, it’s been fun watching some of you decipher them! Make sure to keep spreading the word! Much love!
MikeMessi._.0523 - FIFA MOBILE Yeah bro, it sucks. They deserve a lot more credit than they get. Have you heard of Ivan B? He is another really good underated artist.
Holy shit, I can't even remember how long I've been listening to Witt Lowry for. Probably been like 1-2 years and all I can say is I wish i found him sooner by far my favourite music artist. #TEAMWITT
Bro, the music video is amazing. Each of the paintings around the room is meant to be different artist, and each of them are blank showing that every artist in today's society has no substance to there art. Then him watching himself dyeing at the end is signifying that his art with the real substance gets drowned out by the rest of the shit in today's society. Been here since day one, #TEAMWITT
Me too man... me too. Didnt disapoint. Fun fact, i found Witt from your old "movies" intros. One of my most played artists and constantly spreading the word of Witt around australia
h9mmy I love every part of the song except for the part that is fast, it doesn’t seem to have a flow to it as much as the other parts. Idk if it’s just me but still a great song. Mark Never disappoints #TEAMWITT
Lol hopefully that doesnt mean her parents werent where they were supposed to be, but instead faceing tragedy in a life ending circumstance where juggernaut aka koolaid man was stampeding behind them to deliver unavoidable doom and greetings to lucifer the dark entity of the aftermath of a life filled with emptyness and nothing more then burnt tinfoil and uncapped syringes strewn about an enclosure not suitable to be called home.
As an autistic woman who spent a life invisible, lacking connection, I connect with this like I connect with the air in my lungs... Every word, every piece of the video, is so artistic and symbolic. I can't get enough of the realness ❤️
This speaks so well, just so intense. The video is showing you being trapped in something doesn't want to be. Now, never pursuing that dream. Which, basically meant that drowning himself and confining himself into something Witt never tried to do in the first place and when it shows him out is when Witt finally goes do it he thinks he did it before time was up but then, turns to see it was too late... Retrospect the message is never to give up an idea or a dream, and or a plan do what you love no matter what. Especially when no one is on your team, all you need is yourself at the end of it all....
Where all I can bleed is the words that I seek and stumble to dry heave the realness in me unlocked like the clock that's lost all of its cogs. Thanks Witt your mind is a masterpiece🌼
I am so happy there are still lyrical rap artist like Witt. He puts so much emotion into his songs and it really helps you connect and feel what he feels. Keep killing it Witt! We love you!! #TEAMWITT
25th like :P Just don't understand how you just get better and better with each single you drop... Been here since Kindest Regards and it's crazy comparing your following then to now! #TEAMWITT doing big things! Keep smashing it and doing you man, much love
I've listened to this song every day since it dropped, I still get as passionate while singing along than the first day. This song is truly amazing, I can't wait for the rest of Witt Season.
All your songs show so much depth. I feel each song you have made. Thank you for your music and your talent and your creations Witt Lowry! Thank you! They mean so much 🌞👏
I've met him and told, him about my military career, and he deeply said he respected me. I love this guy and got a autograph, he's so real, I've listened to him since 2011
Love the new song! Glad to see you're returning to the form that made you one of my favorite artists. Not going to lie Witt, I couldn't stand your last album because every song was just you crying about a girl. Got really old. Love seeing this Witt come back out and can't wait to hear your next record!
Witt, this hits me man. I feel lost since I lost everything I worked for the last 3years. Money cant buy happines is what I now know. Had 14k on my bank account. Paid of a part of my loans, helped my mom and sister, and then what? My ex girlfriend kicked me out. No where else to go. Now finally got some help with a depression. And a roof above my head. Without even 10euros to my name. But not mad, angry or sad anymore. I cant afford a house now. But this is the first time in over 3years that I felt good, felt alive. Your music is playing every Day. And it keeps me falling into another depression. I Just wanne say. Thanks.
I guarantee if he just went hard on this it would have had more views. But instead he was hella deep and thought provoking. This is the shit that makes you think so hard.
Witt Lowry's heartfelt music being drowned out by lazy and ignorant artists who lack the dedication and motivation to make a dream come true. To inspire others around you, to push an agenda that isn't corrupting this generation of youth, to push yourself to the limits. While on the sidelines record labels promote those types of artists because of their ignorance, their lack of knowledge on how the cash is being stolen by the same people who promised to raise em to the top. This is why I love Mark's look on the world. He can pinpoint all that is wrong in the world albeit a curse and a blessing, and attempts to do something about it. Sacrificing his mental to produce this message on a lyrical sheet. Thank you Witt for opening our eyes, for creating a message others will never receive. #TEAMWITT
"Everything you see, it came from the mind of a human being. That's mindblowing. You're not the mistakes & the fears that you think.." I have goosebumps...
I listened to this a long time ago, added it to a playlist and forgot about it. Finally listening again and I have to apologise to myself for shelving this. This track is crucial.
Witt being in your emotions isn't a popular thing to do, but it is the right thing to do. Rap something that others stay away from, I will always be #TEAMWITT
Personally I think that the men in suits are reflecting the business men and they go to admire the black canvases which are works from other artists but they don't contain any art and Witt is left drowning as he literally 'spills' out his soul and is ignored by the industry which is reflected by their blank looks as they watch him. He is the only real exhibition there but they prefer to go and look at darkness because he is too real for them
In addition at the start he is banging on the glass as if to make as much noise as possible and to cause a stir in the industry but he is still ignored
No matter how many times i listen to this its still just as great as the first time. Absolutely gotta hand it to you, have not disappointed with your music. Keep it up man and stay true to yourself ❤️
This is such a masterpiece, I can't get over how talented you are! Come back to Seattle soon, I want to see you perform again, your shows are full of energy!
Never herd of this artist but I’m so glad it got in the mix from what I was listening to. His lyrics and flow is deep! I can’t wait to keep listening to more of his music. 😌 I’m sure the rap Gods are please with his work 😁
[Intro] Yeah [Verse 1] I hate it when you're here but you're not here Hate it when your friends turn to old peers Hate it when you talk but you don't hear Hate it when your energy feels weird Last time I think I laughed, it was last year Made more money last month than the past year When everything feels fake, only facts here I remember working back as a cashier, simpler times Now it's been three weeks, still the page is empty They hang on every word I fuckin' say While I appreciate you, wait for my perspective Gotta keep it real, there's somethin' else in play Somethin' I can't explain, yeah Like the lyrics I find in my mind were put in my brain, damn Is it really that deep? Maybe it's me Then one day, I came across what the Romans believed And even the Greek You see, they believe we create from our Genii It's not in our genes, that got me to think 'Bout rappers who claim that they're more than just human Promote what they pour in their drink Was makin' me think, I needed a substance to create With somethin' that wasn't in me But pardon me, please Fuck all that nonsense I believe that my music is bigger than me If I'm bein' honest And I think that it's lame for an artist To claim they're a god or a goddess Because that type of thinkin' is silently killing off all of our artists While the industry profit, fillin' their wallets, damn [Verse 2] Feel like I'm on a hamster wheel While I focus on makin' the music You don't need your hands to feel Is it fair when we follow our passion We barely can land a meal? In an industry where they can take They don't need hands to steal! They told me, "Go get a degree!" Was stupid for followin' dreams Your job was to push me to think Instead you're just hurdling sheep I spill out my soul into ink I told 'em I need to pursue what I love If not, then I'm makin' this money for what? Buy shit from a brand led by someone that does I needed to find out who I really was, now… They would never get it Said I couldn't do it, so they were shook when I did it They never could see the vision, they never wanted me winnin' I never need an opinion, I never was one to fit it Too fast to follow along, then I'll bring it back in a minute I take the beat for a trip and I'll bring it back when I'm finished I see my room as a womb, and I build and grow while I'm in it I'm livin', but am I livin'? I can't even tell the difference [Verse 3] Since the last four lines, it's been about one week Anxiety hit me real hard, and I think I've been sacrificin' my own mental to prove The potential in me with the music they seek 'Cause the more that I'm makin', the more that they need The more that I'm open, the more that I bleed The more that they're lyin', the less I believe The more that I please 'em, the less that I'm me I been back and forth, daily Am I even making art, or did the art make me? No wonder why I'm feelin' lost lately Do they hate the art, or do they really hate me? They're so negative on the daily But I don't need your help, to me I'm twice as mean Yeah, I'm twice as mean, it's seemin' like your dream Is really only takin' shots at my self-esteem, mo'fucker! You question why you should care Like, "This don't affect what I do" But maybe, just maybe, if you change your thinkin' Then you would find you'd start believin' in you You see, as a human, you're made to create Not just sit at a desk with some paper and glue And maybe, just maybe, we do have a genius So all of the blame and the praise is for two, damn [Outro] So, who am I when the world tells me who I should be? Look around, you'll see ideas are essential as air and sleep Everything you see, it came from the mind of a human being That's mind-blowin', you're not your mistakes or the fears you think And I think, I need to pray and take care of myself more Deep hidden in my mind's where you'll find Piece of Mind 4
"They told me to go get a Degree im stupid for following dreams" That line got me hard i realized i do not wanna get a job to make money i wanna do something that i love #TEAMWITT
I think this represents Witt drowning in his own music while everybody is watching. But even though he is drowning in his own music he does not stop and finds another way to continue making music
Usually the longer u listen to a song. It starts to get old. But not this one. The more I listen to it. The more I like it. I can’t stop listening to it. His music is amazing
Amazing as always Witt! We’re all here for you and will support you to the ends of the Earth because you make music that actually means something. The world would be a better place if we had more people like you in it!
This is just what I take from this video. I think the video symbolizing that he speaks the truth well the water is drowning the truth out. Also when one person goes over and everyone else follows showing trends how one person does it.
Witt thanks man! youre GREAT! My favorite artist! I'm dying of a rare disease called gastroparesis. You're music is how I cope. I hope you see this. THANK YOU
You manage to smash and absolutely blow us away with every single song or video...#TEAMWITT. Take as long as a break as you need at any stage, you deserve it
Love you witty can see the improvement you have made from your very first piece of mind. This film clip is amazing keep growing and improving never give up my dude.
Concept of the video:
The names of the paintings around the room are “False Idols” and “Drugs”, people are giving all their attention to the blank paintings showing they are hypnotised and almost controlled by the meaningless things and ignore Witt who plays “The Artist” (which is on the piece of paper next to his box) and it isn’t until he puts so much of himself into his performance that it literally kills him that the people stray their attention from the paintings and onto Witt. In my opinion the video adds so much value to the song and makes the finished product a ‘work of art’ and is just overall incredible.
big facts
Fax
BushMasterJack I feel like the water also symbolises the fact that his music is drowned out by these shitty mumble rappers in the spotlight. And when Witt's in the spotlight (when they flock to the box) is when he's at the end end of his performance
Wow thats deep
BushMasterJack totally agreee
Hey #TEAMWITT! I hope you all are enjoying the new music video so far! There are multiple layers to this one, it’s been fun watching some of you decipher them! Make sure to keep spreading the word! Much love!
Witt Lowry Brilliant. I love you and your music so much and this song was so deep. Absolutely amazing thank you for this. #teamwitt
Another amazing song and music video!
First time that Ive got goosebumps from a song #TEAMWITT
dom keep your head up, everything works out eventually “the darkest nights make the brightest stars”
Witt Lowry there is a famous livestreamer named bninha wgo playrd this vidro on live stream with lik110k people watching

#TEAMWITT
ProHenis I love your videos!!!
#TEAMWITT
Did not know you listened!
R u that guy who plays with Nick? 🤔
Damn... Great lyricism, flow, instrumental and overall message.
Witt is just something else.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache yeah.. Witt and NF are so underrated
Goat
MikeMessi._.0523 - FIFA MOBILE Yeah bro, it sucks. They deserve a lot more credit than they get. Have you heard of Ivan B? He is another really good underated artist.
they arent even close to being underrated wtf
Just Some Guy without a Mustache you are literally everywhere
The video is quality is getting better I love the concept he drowning in his emotions and no one cares it's a real but sad reality.
i care :( yep u r right bc well...welcome to the industry where ppl tear u apart and im just over here like please dont sign please dont sign
Yea and the black paintings show people/audience looking at "art" which is meaningless and trash like songs nowadays.
Andrea Michelle tbh if witt signed to a label i wouldnt even blame him
Amaazing
Cant blame him get money then get gone fuck that industry life
Holy shit, I can't even remember how long I've been listening to Witt Lowry for.
Probably been like 1-2 years and all I can say is I wish i found him sooner by far my favourite music artist.
#TEAMWITT
Brayzo same man. Been here since early 2014 and still wish the same thing
I only just discovered him 2 weeks ago..really wish I had done sooner but just glad I did , his music is unbelievable
Bro, the music video is amazing. Each of the paintings around the room is meant to be different artist, and each of them are blank showing that every artist in today's society has no substance to there art. Then him watching himself dyeing at the end is signifying that his art with the real substance gets drowned out by the rest of the shit in today's society. Been here since day one, #TEAMWITT
EoPlaysHD nice interpretation
EoPlaysHD ya it is exactly that I think wow
Bro, its just crazy how good of an artist he is...
Damn bro, i didnt even see that
I think him dying is saying that for people to look at him the old version of him has to die first in order to get out of the cage but idk
BEEN WAITING ALL DAY! #TEAMWITT
Dysmo ❤️ #TeamWitt
Hi dysmo
Woa Dysmo knows Witt aye #TEAMWITT
Dysmo just watched one of your vids lol
Me too man... me too. Didnt disapoint.

Witt Lowry + NF would be amazing
Want this

Witt and Dead Poet 💀
Two years later this comment is still needed
#POM4
You are really outstanding Witt
This is amazing...so powerful and real. Absolutely love it!!!
Witt Lowry POM4 gang
Lowry you should collab with nf
Witt Lowry the irony of timing. Or atleast the resonance therein. Atleast you'll never wake up wondering if you helped open the minds of some.
Everything you see came from a human being that me mind blowing #TEAMWITT
h9mmy I love every part of the song except for the part that is fast, it doesn’t seem to have a flow to it as much as the other parts. Idk if it’s just me but still a great song. Mark Never disappoints #TEAMWITT
Im Drift It has a nice flow, though.
h9mmy Check out the music on my channel . Let me know what you think , and subscribe . Would mean a lot !! ⭐🎶⭐🎶⭐🎶⭐🎶⭐🎶⭐🎶⭐🎶⭐🎶⭐🎶⭐
That is something I’ll take to the grave with me #TEAMWITT
You’re not your mistakes or the fears you think
#TEAMWITT
JustVurb I love your vids
Let's Fucking Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#TEAMTOASTER
Justvurb I didn't know you where team witt
#TEAMWITT
Ideas are as essential as air and sleep
Beauty in a box, strength coming from his past , bravery from his lyrics, a piece of mind from one person. Amazing.
Never thought it was possible to add even more power and meaning to an already extremely powerful song. Well done Witt, been a fan for years now ❤️
Depression is like drowning except you can see everyone around you breathing. 💔
Stay strong and stay alive. |-/
мαчα. I know how you feel
I feel you
Kiosx classy I bet your a real delight to be around
Hey t hats a twenty one pilots symbol
Seemon yep i love them!!
I was in the middle of the video and my girlfriend texted and said her parents weren’t home I did the right thing and kept watching
"But Im home alone"
"But Witt Lowry is drowning babe!"
soldseperately 😂😂😂
Keegan Jensen my man!
Lol hopefully that doesnt mean her parents werent where they were supposed to be, but instead faceing tragedy in a life ending circumstance where juggernaut aka koolaid man was stampeding behind them to deliver unavoidable doom and greetings to lucifer the dark entity of the aftermath of a life filled with emptyness and nothing more then burnt tinfoil and uncapped syringes strewn about an enclosure not suitable to be called home.
Your a better man then me sir! Good for yu
We need more artists like Witt 🔥💯
Anthony Romero big facts
Fucking right str8 facts
Anthony Romero I agree
Logic?
Deluxe Luxx yes and no
As an autistic woman who spent a life invisible, lacking connection, I connect with this like I connect with the air in my lungs...
Every word, every piece of the video, is so artistic and symbolic. I can't get enough of the realness ❤️
This speaks so well, just so intense. The video is showing you being trapped in something doesn't want to be. Now, never pursuing that dream.

TheCR1MES I can relate to that senior yr of HS I did a lot of that from loss of my brother
he is so underrated its not fair he is better then so many other rappers
Rob Madigan he is The best. Teamwitt
Not underrated. Just underheard.
Mike Shinoda is also pretty underrated, at least his current work. They could work together I think.
BenDaKill, exactly, that would be perfect
Reminds me of NF's Let you down vid mixed with Outcast. These 2 need to get on a track together man
Justin Ellis reminds me of ill mind of hopsin
Madeleine Rhoads Hop jokes alot more then this in alot of them ill mind songs
They do have a song coming
How do you know.. they say this over 2 years now!
Witt Lowry said on Ninjas stream that he’s working with nf
Whos here before 2k? Witt this is amazing
GLZ Music I was here at 10 views
Where all I can bleed is the words that I seek and stumble to dry heave the realness in me unlocked like the clock that's lost all of its cogs. Thanks Witt your mind is a masterpiece🌼
I doubt you'll ever see this but I want you to remember that your fans will always stay here and support you the same way you do.
Easily your best music video yet. I loved when you splashed the water it really added to the intensity of the video.
Patrick Dowling meeeee to
He just wanted to be a seal.
I can't stop listening to this! Every day!
Its litraly been one day.
Actually, it's been 8 days. The song itself was released before the music video.
It always is, where does he post most his stuff before he brings it to youtube? Ive been trying to stay up to day with whitt
Daniel Newman Soudcloud primarily, Newer stuff on Apple Music too
same i watch it and listen it all time necer gets boring none of witt's music
Y’all have no idea I was refreshing for the past 10 mins for this is amazing good job Witt #teamwitt
I am so happy there are still lyrical rap artist like Witt. He puts so much emotion into his songs and it really helps you connect and feel what he feels. Keep killing it Witt! We love you!! #TEAMWITT
I love the message behind this of drowning in your emotions, the pressure put on u and the expectations ppl have of u. It’s sad but it’s reality
My neighbors aren't gonna be happy because it gonna be really loud for this fire video! #TEAMWITT
25th like :P Just don't understand how you just get better and better with each single you drop... Been here since Kindest Regards and it's crazy comparing your following then to now! #TEAMWITT doing big things! Keep smashing it and doing you man, much love
Dude me too it's been crazy
Same bro it’s been a mad ride
Well if you had been part of #TEAMWITT since he dropped his Headphone Hero album it is even more mind blowing.
Same here man, I heard kindest regards on a black ops 2 trickshot montage, and been hooked since

This guy is the proof that someone who works hard always succeeds in life. #teamwitt
I've listened to this song every day since it dropped, I still get as passionate while singing along than the first day. This song is truly amazing, I can't wait for the rest of Witt Season.
All your songs show so much depth. I feel each song you have made. Thank you for your music and your talent and your creations Witt Lowry! Thank you! They mean so much 🌞👏
Dang this video is deep. I had a different vision for this song, but that ending was a twist
I've met him and told, him about my military career, and he deeply said he respected me. I love this guy and got a autograph, he's so real, I've listened to him since 2011
I was waiting for the glass to shatter when he touched it #TEAMWITT
Love the new song! Glad to see you're returning to the form that made you one of my favorite artists. Not going to lie Witt, I couldn't stand your last album because every song was just you crying about a girl. Got really old. Love seeing this Witt come back out and can't wait to hear your next record!
Witt, this hits me man. I feel lost since I lost everything I worked for the last 3years. Money cant buy happines is what I now know. Had 14k on my bank account.

And it keeps me falling into another depression. I Just wanne say. Thanks.
I guarantee if he just went hard on this it would have had more views. But instead he was hella deep and thought provoking. This is the shit that makes you think so hard.
Cailon Delano he does go hard like halfway through though
That's what she said.
*Good work!* 👏

This is so hard man.
Vegan Gangster why? Lol
I’m so hard man
Incredible video
Witt Lowry is truly an amazing artist! His lyrics, flow, message and just everything, Amazing! Team Witt till the death of me!
#teamwitt 🤟🏼❤️💪🏼 Like if you’re apart of the team 😛

And at the end he is questioning how the industry don't react despite the realness they've just seen they remain motionless and cold to him
That's literally it bro. I think you really nailed the meaning of this video. Well done
TheCR1MES I agree. Society has ditched empathy for one another and filled the void with substances
fucking deep
No matter how many times i listen to this its still just as great as the first time. Absolutely gotta hand it to you, have not disappointed with your music. Keep it up man and stay true to yourself ❤️
Haven’t even watched yet but I have 911 dialed up and my fire suit on🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keegan Jensen same bro about 2 lit
The cinematic tone to this track is amazing. If anyone is sleeping on you, they won't be able to after this.
Still one of the realists tracks in the last 6 years. Thanks for helping me through my 20s witt
This is art that speaks the truth for many
LETTSSSSS GOOOOOO
If Nf and Witt collaborated...
Mikhi Lewis this world could not handle that
I don’t think this galaxy could handle it
I don't think the universe could handle it
CostFrost I don't think I would handle it lol
As well as Hopsin
Bro……speak that truth , thank you for the passion thats been lacking in the art
Bro ever since dream with your eyes open your music has been blasting in my car, my earphones, your music seriously never gets old.
This is such a masterpiece, I can't get over how talented you are! Come back to Seattle soon, I want to see you perform again, your shows are full of energy!
Never herd of this artist but I’m so glad it got in the mix from what I was listening to. His lyrics and flow is deep! I can’t wait to keep listening to more of his music. 😌 I’m sure the rap Gods are please with his work 😁
With every peice of mind he gives us he gets better #TEAMWITT
This needs to be on radio. Love this track. Witt you are awesome.
I get chills every damn time I hear this. Truly has brought me to tears so many times. Just resonates so much with me. Bless you Witt
I like how you actually sing the words and move your mouth, most rappers mumble and you can barely read their lips
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I hate it when you're here but you're not here
Hate it when your friends turn to old peers
Hate it when you talk but you don't hear
Hate it when your energy feels weird
Last time I think I laughed, it was last year
Made more money last month than the past year
When everything feels fake, only facts here
I remember working back as a cashier, simpler times
Now it's been three weeks, still the page is empty
They hang on every word I fuckin' say
While I appreciate you, wait for my perspective
Gotta keep it real, there's somethin' else in play
Somethin' I can't explain, yeah
Like the lyrics I find in my mind were put in my brain, damn
Is it really that deep? Maybe it's me
Then one day, I came across what the Romans believed
And even the Greek
You see, they believe we create from our Genii
It's not in our genes, that got me to think
'Bout rappers who claim that they're more than just human
Promote what they pour in their drink
Was makin' me think, I needed a substance to create
With somethin' that wasn't in me
But pardon me, please
Fuck all that nonsense
I believe that my music is bigger than me
If I'm bein' honest
And I think that it's lame for an artist
To claim they're a god or a goddess
Because that type of thinkin' is silently killing off all of our artists
While the industry profit, fillin' their wallets, damn
[Verse 2]
Feel like I'm on a hamster wheel
While I focus on makin' the music
You don't need your hands to feel
Is it fair when we follow our passion
We barely can land a meal?
In an industry where they can take
They don't need hands to steal!
They told me, "Go get a degree!"
Was stupid for followin' dreams
Your job was to push me to think
Instead you're just hurdling sheep
I spill out my soul into ink
I told 'em I need to pursue what I love
If not, then I'm makin' this money for what?
Buy shit from a brand led by someone that does
I needed to find out who I really was, now…
They would never get it
Said I couldn't do it, so they were shook when I did it
They never could see the vision, they never wanted me winnin'
I never need an opinion, I never was one to fit it
Too fast to follow along, then I'll bring it back in a minute
I take the beat for a trip and I'll bring it back when I'm finished
I see my room as a womb, and I build and grow while I'm in it
I'm livin', but am I livin'? I can't even tell the difference
[Verse 3]
Since the last four lines, it's been about one week
Anxiety hit me real hard, and I think
I've been sacrificin' my own mental to prove
The potential in me with the music they seek
'Cause the more that I'm makin', the more that they need
The more that I'm open, the more that I bleed
The more that they're lyin', the less I believe
The more that I please 'em, the less that I'm me
I been back and forth, daily
Am I even making art, or did the art make me?
No wonder why I'm feelin' lost lately
Do they hate the art, or do they really hate me?
They're so negative on the daily
But I don't need your help, to me I'm twice as mean
Yeah, I'm twice as mean, it's seemin' like your dream
Is really only takin' shots at my self-esteem, mo'fucker!
You question why you should care
Like, "This don't affect what I do"
But maybe, just maybe, if you change your thinkin'
Then you would find you'd start believin' in you
You see, as a human, you're made to create
Not just sit at a desk with some paper and glue
And maybe, just maybe, we do have a genius
So all of the blame and the praise is for two, damn
[Outro]
So, who am I when the world tells me who I should be?
Look around, you'll see ideas are essential as air and sleep
Everything you see, it came from the mind of a human being
That's mind-blowin', you're not your mistakes or the fears you think
And I think, I need to pray and take care of myself more
Deep hidden in my mind's where you'll find Piece of Mind 4
"They told me to go get a Degree im stupid for following dreams" That line got me hard i realized i do not wanna get a job to make money i wanna do something that i love #TEAMWITT
When he screams “and that’s what’s killing off all of our artists” gives me chills every time! #TEAMWITT
I think this represents Witt drowning in his own music while everybody is watching. But even though he is drowning in his own music he does not stop and finds another way to continue making music
The lyrics are awesome and so good. The music video just makes it so much better and its amazing.
Proud to say I’ve been here before he hits 1 Million, we all know it’s going to happen. No doubt about it. #TEAMWITT ❤️
The flow the meaning everything it’s good asf this is what music should be
Usually the longer u listen to a song. It starts to get old. But not this one. The more I listen to it. The more I like it. I can’t stop listening to it. His music is amazing
Vibes of Stephen and Logic in this track and it's insane. Amazing as ever.
TheTintedHalo OMG Stephen and Witt Lowry doing a song would be the best thing ever
"Is it fair when we follow our passion we barely can land a meal?"#TEAMWITT
this is definitly one of his best videos!🔥🔥🔥

Dont forget sik
Amazing as always Witt! We’re all here for you and will support you to the ends of the Earth because you make music that actually means something. The world would be a better place if we had more people like you in it!
That was the best music video I think I've ever watched. Some really powerful messages in there. Bravo to everyone responsible.
I’m a fan! This song was sooo deep. I love it! Keep writing song like this and I’ll never leave you
i really appreciate what you do for all of us Witt. keep doin you. team witt
This industry man....keeping artist like witt drowning in doubt and hatred for speaking the truth
He's done it once again! Awesome job!
Amazing symbolism and repersentation of today's perspective on what music really is all about, using art displays as an example
This is just what I take from this video. I think the video symbolizing that he speaks the truth well the water is drowning the truth out. Also when one person goes over and everyone else follows showing trends how one person does it.
First song of yours I heard on spotify radio, INSTANT fan. I can relate 100% to this song.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD!!!!! I frickin love you witty thank you for making me a better person from your music..
Used to not like this guy but now I love him. He’s come a long way from 3 years ago when I first heard of him. His music definitely improved
#TeamWitt till the day I die...
Lets get this trending. COME ON TEAM WITT WE CAN DO THIS!
I can only give this man love
I love you Mark❤️ Your music is amazing and I can actually relate to it. It has helped me through so many hard times! #TEAMWITT

Witt thanks man! youre GREAT! My favorite artist! I'm dying of a rare disease called gastroparesis. You're music is how I cope. I hope you see this. THANK YOU
This is so deep & well thought. I love it
Absolute fire! Keep doing what you do Witt!
