Making music
that you're feeling,
New
York to
New
Zealand
Yeah
They greet me with a, how do you do?
My day job, political news
One day I'm jaded,
one day I'm like the only way I could deal is get faded
While the rich sitting somewhere
shaded in this autumn heat
This'll sort of creep from the back
to the front of my mind, trust me
I'm not only an agony some of the time,
it's always my heart'll ache
Friends out here turn out to be
a lesson on dodging snakes
It's bug from the empire
to the garden state
Who do I turn to?
I used to have this rap thing
to spit my concerns to
The response I get was support
for fan sponsorships
Now it's fucking up my consciousness
Now I'm feeling like I used to
Looking for a new tool or outlet
These news crews ain't bout shit
If they pushing agendas
over the dead
Helplessness in my head
This the world that I'm supposed
to raise kids in
Raise awareness when the first
thing they see is the skin
Fairness, they wanna feel the texture
Your hair is taking paycheck
comparing
How could I afford marriage,
all we ever needed was love
Fuck a politician and
anybody making decisions
If it's not that,
your answer is to find back you've already lost
What you can't hear with music
instead of comedy dog
Ask us to remain silent,
I could hardly be calm
Hardly breathe for some,
suicides are only released
But suicide by police,
man that shit is so weak
Can't believe our society bred them
Cannot create a person doomed to that fate
Go head in, head first, maybe you fix it,
maybe you don't
Maybe it won't for your next verse,
maybe you grow, don't lose sight
I love my wife, my mom,
my stepdad, like he my own
DNA
And yet I still feel this way
Surveillance,
so watch you cry to neighbors
Adopt you, fly to tell
you keep your head up
But my head got too high
Trying to deal with it,
trying to deal with it
Trying to deal with it, man forget it
Thinking I'll be going back
Days are simple, slow, relaxed
But nights are really cold
So these days now I know that I can deal with it
I can deal with it, I can deal with it
I did it before,
so what's so hard now?
It's none of these fakers that's
in this odd town
None of these bosses that's
at my job now
Calm down, ain't no boss,
they just try to suppress me
So I'm out here makin' the rest
with my own hands
The keys in my right,
smokes in my left
He's so of course that'll stress me
A loss, little rejected, I was tryin' to rap
Not quite the right skin and height
Try to relax, it wasn't bout that
We was all supposed to come up, uh
Regardless, without rap,
the bars just to bounce back out
The rat race, the way they portray
God is just a mousetrap
The true essence is through lessons
So what I learned then, that stress is a waste
If that's the case,
ain't worth the money just to get with the fakes
And then my flow is probably
the best in the place
So I put the work in,
we already made it for certain
How long can I keep cursing till it's curtains,
curtains?
Surveillance, I watch you cry to neighbors,
and doubt you fly
They tell you keep your head
up, but my head not too high
Trying to deal with it,
try ing to deal with it, trying to deal with it
Man, forget it,
thinkin' I'll be goin' back
Days are simple, slow, relaxed,
but nights are really cold
So these days, now I know that I can deal with it, I can deal with it,
I can deal with it, deal with it
