Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Count up your portion, count up your checks
Either you're fam or you’re comin' at my neck
When you gonna freeze with the cool dramatics?
I'm not inspired by your foolish practice
Why do you bullshit? Side up your fence
I’m just a chicken givin' you the egg
Soon, you're gonna see that your platform's wasted
Don't speak too soon on your doubts you're making
A big deal out of a little thing
Why should I try to conform to formulated pasts
When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?

[Chorus]
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Oh, I need a reason why I’m looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong like I’ve done time and time before
And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack
The potential to pageantry, my solid golden path
To this, I hope my future is a mile, clairvoyant
There’s no controlling the imagination on a send

[Verse 2]
Take me to Venus, let me explode
I'm ready to pop like a volcano
Jump over me like you're playing hot lava
Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna
Drink me like soda? People, of course
Use all your words to distract from the source
Aware of the growth, the paper happens
Leave me alone in my own concoction
Breakin’ all my fingertips to carve out many roads
Pushin' out the petals from the thought of what I know

[Chorus]
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before
And all my intuition says is expansion comes first
But watch us buy material and talkin' 'bout in here
My heart space and my cranium must belong to my dear
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel

[Bridge]
They replaced their search for knowledge
With the reach of many material gains
They lack the tenderness of the sensitive
Empathetic but he's cryin' from the pain
It's too late to grow their frame
In their mind, seems like it's already made
No use in arguin' with someone who doesn't
Wanna cry or retice worthy of creation
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?

[Chorus]
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before
And all my intuition says is expansion comes first
But watch us buy material and talkin' 'bout in here
My heart space and my cranium must be love to my dear
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel

  • @andyd3447
    yikes that line is "want to prioritize birthing or creation" not "wanna cry or retice worthy of creation". lol.
  • @Zoe-zd9uk
    On the last verse it’s not supposed to be decimals anymore…. It’s “ You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow”

  • Some of the lyrics are wrong so these are the real lyrics Count up your portions, count up your checks Feeding your fam while you're coming at my neck When ya gonna freeze with the cruel dramatics? I'm not inspired by your foolish practice Butter your bullshit, set up your fence I'm just the chicken giving you the egg Soon you're gonna see that your breath was wasted Don't speak too soon on your doubts, you're making A big deal out of a little thing Why should I try to conform to formulated paths? When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical? Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before And all your idle teaching and your criticism lack The potential to penetrate my solid golden path To decide what my future is, I'm my own clairvoyant There's no controlling me Imagination on ascend Take me to Venus, let me explode I'm ready to pop like a volcano Jump over me like you're playing hot lava Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna Shake me like soda creme, but, of course Use all your words to distract from the source Of where all the growth on the paper happens Leave me alone in my own concoction Pricking all my fingertips to carve out many roads Pushing out the petals from the bud of what I know Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first" But not just by material, I'm talking 'bout in here My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel They replaced their search for knowledge With the reach of many material gains They lack the tenderness of the sensitive Empathetic bodies crying from the pain It's too late to grow their frame Of mind it seems that it's already made No use in arguing with someone who doesn't Wanna prioritize birthing of creation Am I just a number?
