The Rubric |
So what are you defined by? |
What is it that makes you? |
Is it what who your clothes are designed by? |
Or is it in the way that you look at your neighbor reaching out for help with a |
blind eye? |
It’s easier to give and you shouldn’t feel too bad |
Everybody’s born with their bootstraps |
And fuck 'em anyways, right? |
Everybody out here’s got the same goddamn daylight |
But it’s not that simple |
The life you’re born in, the same box you’re built into |
While you’re breakin' through it |
They’re waitin' outside to tell you they changed the rubric |
And they paint the Rubik’s cube, it’s rigged to make sure you lose |
So when you play the game, if it’s all the same, try to play for you |
And every time you play their rules |
Either play dead or play the fool |
Try your best tryin' to play it cool |
Play for them and you play to lose |
And every time you play their rules |
Either play dead or play the fool |
Try your best tryin' play it cool |
Play for them and you play to lose |
Is everything I’ve worked for worth more |
Then what has fallen in my lap? |
What I’ve searched for |
Is found to be the curse more than the blessing, learn more |
From the wounds and the stitches, I put that on my firstborn |
What you think I roam the Earth for? |
Dealin' with life, that’s what the liquor and the herb for |
Feel it at night, I’m kinda knockin' with the search warrant |
Tryna find a self to describe and the words for it |
Huh, maybe it’s been dormant, waitin' within torment |
Taken an enormous amount of patience to relate what this world is about |
I guess it’s best to pick a side that feels fully in heart |
Testify to test your pride instead of just testing a product |
Rest the gas pedal 'stead of perpetually steppin' on it |
Emphasis on effortlessness |
Been dishonest to myself for too long |
I think it’s time I made a promise to me, yeah |
And every time you play their rules |
Either play dead or play the fool |
Try your best tryin' to play it cool |
Play for them and you play to lose |
And every time you play their rules |
Either play dead or play the fool |
Try your best tryin' play it cool |
Play for them and you play to lose |
