Lyrics Jester - Ellis Williams

Men, women, and children of the court
His and her Royal highness
I present to you another performance by the great
Yet humbled servant of the land
Here to provide for your entertainment needs
Here to lift you up but never let you down
To help you live your music at only HIS expense
Don't you worry
He LIVES for your cheers
He'll give it all for your applause
And now
Without further a due
Your forever Jester

Too long
Slept on my mental health for fucking too long
My dial has many switches that shit is so wrong
Putting on my mask to cancel my emotions
My personalities be fighting tell me who won
Working for a court who wanna see me tamed
Keeping myself hidden just to get a little fame
I got issues
I need tissues
But a crying man's a shame
Just keep your head up, mouth shut
I swear it's all the same

Losing me for you (no more)
Waiting for my due (no more)
Laugh like I'm a fool (no more)
Thought that shit was cool (no more)
Losing me for you (no more)
Waiting for my due (no more)
Laugh like I'm a fool (no more)
Thought that shit was cool (no more)

Your royal highness I must apologize
The court jester has never done this before
Please
Wait

Sometimes it be your own people
For real
Let me tell you how I lost appeal
I started off good in my melanin
But being myself cost me everything
Going against the grain, they want me in a lane
It's all insane
Everyday (everyday)
Everyday (everyday)
Everyday (everyday)
Everyday I feel the same way
Trying trying trying trying to figure it out on my own
Ya look at me like a celebrity but my pockets lookin like a fucking danger zone

Losing me for you (no more)
Waiting for my due (no more)
Laugh like I'm a fool (no more)
Thought that shit was cool (no more)
Losing me for you (no more)
Waiting for my due (no more)
Laugh like I'm a fool (no more)
Thought that shit was cool (no more)
No more

Oh
Waiting for my due
Due
Laugh like I'm a fool baby
No no no no more

Losing me for you (no more)
Waiting for my due (no more)
I lost myself enough baby
You can sit there and hate me
Thought that shit was cool but no more

Although your behavior is courageous
I will not allow such behavior in my courts
Guards
Off with his head
