Imposter Syndrome (skit)

Lyrics

Have you ever felt imposter syndrome? I've felt it in all three me's As an artist, I was starting over again As a total beginner I think it's only natural as you improve at something Your peers are also better and more experienced than you are So you start to wonder: "Do I really belong? Or am I just kidding myself?" You have to embody the classic aphorism: Fake it 'til you make it Like a lot of you, identity is something I've struggled with My least favorite question is: "What do you do?" When you aren't anybody yеt, and you say: "I'm an artist" People assume you'rе broke, struggling, and meandering Even though my artist journey couldn't be more opposite To life of high highs and devastating lows It's taken me ten years to feel comfortable telling people I'm an artist But, think it's 'cause I actually believe it now I put a lot of reps into this life Maybe not 10,000 hours yet But probably not far from it Everyone's life path is different Some, like my brother, are cemented from day one And others, like myself, blow from one thing to the next Until something sticks I guess the moral of the story is you've gotta keep going 'til you find something you love doing Even for ten hours a day, and then do whatever the hell you can to make it your reality Your career is gonna take up a lot of your life's hours So, the end of the day, you better dig it
