L.E.S. Artistes (Santigold)

What I'm searching for to tell it straight
I'm tryin' to build a wall
Walking by myself down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me, keep going, be a passby-waver
Build me up, bring me down
just leave me out, you name-dropper
Stop tryin' to catch my eye
I see you good, you forced-faker
Just make it easy, you're my enemy
you fast talker

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe

What am I here for I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself, not to know you, I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me, I am an introvert, an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now, a face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly I found myself an innovator

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe

Change, change, change, I want to get up out of my skin
Tell you what, if I can shake it
I'm 'a make this something worth dreaming of

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe
