| They want us to fight, but we just want to get high
|
| Work all day, all night, trying to get fly
|
| When I get some money I’mma buy me some time
|
| I can’t fight your war until I’m finished with mine
|
| I used to be mad at the government
|
| Redirected some of my anger towards the mothership
|
| Trying to guess which shell living hell sleeps under
|
| When the grand scheme plan keeps all these people wonderin
|
| Why we still runnin in place frustrated?
|
| Pride is mistaken for hate, it’s upgraded
|
| I got a little breath left, let’s suffocate it
|
| Point at the epiphanies and call 'em all drug related
|
| The time I spent with my life on bent
|
| Trying to find the friends inside my head
|
| Must have disengaged every phase and stage
|
| Of of my I’m coming, I’m coming, I’m coming of age
|
| My unofficial autobio
|
| Will be accompanied with tips on how to smile
|
| Cause I’ve found that when they don’t see you frown
|
| They never know that you’re a threat
|
| And they don’t sweat you when you came around
|
| So who’s going to be my next door savior?
|
| Step up to your neighbor, and do me a favour
|
| Take off the mask, let it all collapse
|
| Empty the pack and watch your wings grow back
|
| Society becomes jealousy, intimacy becomes intensity
|
| Say it with a smile like it’s meant to be
|
| And all of a sudden, «boom», American family
|
| And I can tell when your mad at your past
|
| Because you tend to take the turns just a little too fast
|
| And I can tell how you push your foot on the gas
|
| That you already knew that you was gunna finish last
|
| Slow it down and take a little time
|
| To look up at them clouds with the fake silver lining
|
| Up in a tree knowing damn well you never reach the top
|
| But you don’t stop, you keep climbing
|
| Well okay, it’s settled
|
| No more nights in this weed and thorn infested meadow
|
| Uh-uh, from this day forth, only forward I pedal
|
| Get the memo I’m cutting the strings Gepetto
|
| Shuffle the cards and let’s argue
|
| Rooted in between the computer games and cartoons
|
| Stop and watch us all get lost
|
| Between God and a shot of scotch, let’s get fly
|
| Uh huh gon work all day work all night
|
| Uh huh won’t fight your war until Im finished with mine
|
| Uh huh gonna forward move, gonna buy me some time
|
| Uh huh Im cutting your strings and keeping my smile |
