PRETENDER Lyrics – Scarlxrd

[Intro]
Pu-pu-pull up that boy, wheel up! Wheel!
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Plague
Sca-
Pull up, pull up, wheel!

[Verse 1]
You pretend, like you feel this way inside
Understand, I still lie awake at night
It’s big stakes, make me feel so alive

Big stepper always moving off my pride
I keep on seeing, leaves fall off the trees to my basement
Barking, ’til I can’t hear conversations
Tryna please every one of you is frustrating
It’s all a pointless imitation
I thought it was easy
Evil never prospers, always find it sneaking
See me straight through your conscious, force me to believе it
In the heart of conflict, nothing can defеat me
Opposite of grieving, I still walk through the flames unscathed, ambiversion
Tainted my safe
Space, hate, introversion
Decollate mind state how many versions
Do this s*it my way, can’t ever forget
All for nothing
I don’t care what you did
Pick your path, then move it
Swear this s*it is too stressful
Back yourself and do it
Elevate from stupid

[Bridge]
Pull up, wheel!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You’re now tuned into LxrdAudix

Me no wan’ nobody ah to talk to me right now, hear?
Everything alright, ready?
Ah, ah
Yuh
It’s Scarlxrd, duh!

[Verse 2]
Had to break myself, or live in silenc
ive a fu*k, I run a curse at everybody
Had to break myself or live a nightmar
ive a fu*k, if I don’t act the way you want me
Why don’t you bullet massage me?
Keeping my mind on the target
They’d rather suffer than talk s*it
Breaking me down is a process
I cannot forgive and forget
Making up lies in my conscious
I live the life of a nihilist
Most of my goals are toxic
I’m a different beast
I know they all hate me, I know that’s just what it is
B!tch, I’ve taken every threat that they can give
I know limitations in my soul do not exist
So you wanna throw me in the rope and kick my chair
I still owe my hope and solace to my lonely years
Sip a different type of potion when you get through hell
No one really knows it, but your dream’s your deadest end
