Things |
Things, on my mind when I wake up |
Things, all my time try to take up |
If I could save up money like worry |
I’d be a rich man but sorrow would plague much |
I done made up the fiction that I’m a centre of a system causing the day rust |
Center stage and a monologue play of |
me in the audience, all in my make up |
What a view when it’s all for the show |
assuming that I’m doing what you already know |
I think I’m in the middle of a palm heavy globe everybody trying to steal what |
I already own |
But oh in this life we are all but alone, |
the feeling that you are is a problem, condone |
Just sunlight hit the spotlight that we hold like it’s one light that we cuff |
tight 'til it’s gone |
One candle on the cake trying to take it, |
Souls set sail on the race trying to take wind |
We are all faves in the chips that we placing, |
better build self anybody else cave in |
So I’m holding onto pressure like it’s all mine |
that ain’t sweat it’s just the way I keep the floor shined |
Everybody queued up in the long grind |
thinking that we next in the short line |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, I got |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
I want a lot more things |
Biggie tried to tell me what a lot more bring |
A headstrong man would take a lot more strain |
seeing pleasure in the presence of a lot more pain |
It’s like I’m in the plot of a horror flick scene |
and I’ma run towards where I thought I heard screams |
Cause things draw me like a self portrait |
blank paper trying to fill it with a lot more green |
Cause things make life |
and a life worth living is a life worth giving to a fight for dreams |
When your schemes matter more than the next man’s |
and the next man’s matter more than the rest and |
we all forget that we are not all things |
So I’ma take time in the line, all those behind me can chill |
but if I was last I’d probably be the first one to whine, for real |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, I got |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
We going through it |
They going through it |
Us going through it |
You going through it |
We going through it |
They going through it |
Us going through it |
You going through it |
We just want to matter more tryna be the matador in the pit of bull |
Tryna gather our status to the masses looking at the glass like that’s pitiful |
I ain’t seein' what you seein' cause your problems ain’t my problems how you |
solve 'em really I don’t even care |
Puttin' pressure on the shoulders that ain’t really there, |
but I know you see it when you stare |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, I got |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
Things I’m going through, yeah |
