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 |
