ALT screenshot from Spotify of the lyrics from the song Solo (Reprise) rapped by Andre 3000 on Frank Ocean's album Blonde. the lyrics read "I'm so naive I was under the impression that everyone wrote their own verses / it's coming back different and yeah that shit hurts me / I'm humming and whistling to those not deserving / I'm stumbled and lived every word was I working just way too hard?"
