The Ceiling |
Transmitting live from the cusp of extinction |
Look you in the eyes like, «Fuck was you thinking?» |
I’m kinda feeling like there’s nothing left to defend |
But if we keep it Franklin, that’s just another weekend |
I guess karma really gives you what you paid for |
'Cause AmeriKKKa got blood in her carburetor |
I’m in the mountains hiding out from the park rangers |
Something 'bout putting a slug in your heart chamber |
If I ain’t the one that wrote it, then I quoted it |
Ipso facto, I overlooked your ownership |
Kicked that back door to open it, broke it in |
Hit those bad notes and drove it like I chauffeured it |
S’posed to get me on a guest list, but I’m skeptical |
In my profession don’t nobody act professional |
Decided I’d arrive a little bit ahead of schedule |
And started up a heavy metal band with the devil, it goes |
I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling |
Don’t even know if I’d recognize the feeling |
But I been working my whole life |
I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling |
Don’t even know if I’d recognize the feeling |
But I been working my whole life |
And it’s a viking ship, there’s no breakfast |
And it’s the life we live, it’s so precious, yeah |
And don’t pretend that you was over our heads if |
You know you never meant for us to catch those references |
(Right?) And just so I can understand |
Nobody in command’ll willingly give up their upper hand |
Unless suddenly their gun is jammed |
And you pry it from their motherfucking hands (Right?) |
And I been working my whole life afraid of the clock |
And I know that ain’t right 'cause I can’t make it stop |
Gotta show up and finish the shift |
The baby told me being present is a gift |
And maybe that’s why you refuse to fall asleep |
Probably keep it moving 'til the heart stops respondin' to the beat |
But my brain’s still self-conscious |
Like I coulda cut my losses if I would’ve acknowledged I was exhausted |
'Cause I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling |
Don’t even know if I’d recognize the feeling |
But I been working my whole life |
I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling |
Don’t even know if I’d recognize the feeling |
But I been working my whole life |
And I dunno if this is how it’s supposed to feel |
How will I know if this is how it’s supposed to feel? |
And I dunno if this is how it’s supposed to feel |
How will I know if this is how it’s supposed to feel? |
Ey, du? |
Hvordan kommer du deg ut av buret ditt da? |
Prøver du å rømme, eller? |
Ja, hvor er det du skal dra hen da? |
Du kommer deg ikke noe lengre |
Det rommet her e’kke noe bedre enn et bur, det er bare større |
Og ja, jeg vet at du ikke har sett himmelen før |
Men det der… |
Det er bare et tak |
Om du flyr for høyt, så kommer du bare til å skade deg sjøl |
