Lyrics The Rose Parade - Speak

The Rose Parade

Waking up somewhere in Ladera, next to a girl with smeared mascara
Her looks say «groupie» first name Sarah, another victim of the Art Goon Era
Holy fuck… what am I becoming?
Mama said I need to go and do something stunning
With my life, instead I seat here soaking by the fireplace
Breaking down weed trying to find a higher place
Addicted to porno in cyber space
Eternal sunshine 'round tight mind erase
God damn sometimes I be forgettin, every lesson learned in the college room
setting
I didn’t make the grade so I didn’t give a damn
Intelligent but lazy, they couldn’t understand
What it’s like to be better than everyone you know, or what it’s like to make a
few fucking racks of a show
Pockets on swole, ego on overload
Drugs all around and pray I don’t overdose
But if Ido i’ll leave a beautiful corpse, bury me in my tux with a carton of
'ports
Life ain’t nothing but a rose parade
Everything that we see artificially made
And we all line up to take a look at the floats
But why the fuck would I want to stay behind this rope?
nope
Daddy was right, I never do listen but the blind old cunt couldn’t really see
my vision
Credit score low when I never held the job down
Snacking on xany bars just so I could calm down
My friends question why I’m so off-beat
Or why I choose to write my name in wet concrete
Dreamers sit back all day and romanticize
Doers fuck girls get gwop then they vandalize
Burn it all down, pissing on the ashes, and watch her deepthroat for some
backstage passes
God damn, is that how mama raised you?
Or is everything I do, just amaze you?
Fuck paid dues, I’m too punk son
I rather fuck a white girl with a trust fund
And blow her dough instead of spending mine, one of a kind
Young Rap God with a shrine, yeeh
Ricardo!
Get the goddamn hovercraft… the whores are after our money again…
