| Tie an army to your bootstraps, coffee in your cup
|
| Walking with an ancient boombap, screaming
|
| What the fuck
|
| In 2009 critics line is net form and kids want fans before they even sweat for
|
| em
|
| Forced into a basement that’s baking in the sun
|
| With million other vagrants, they pay us just to run
|
| See, planet earth’s a treadmill, I’m tryna get my gun
|
| Before they drop flights and stop air travel to my lungs
|
| Dial an operator, got a problem with the matrix
|
| Tired of being overlooked because we never say shit
|
| Some might even go as far to say I lack passion
|
| That’s probably because I stowed it on a friendship that’s crashing
|
| Asking for a little respect and ration
|
| While we get the lashing for seeking compassion
|
| I once begged to use Compuserve as a teen
|
| Yesterday I saw a murder on my computer screen
|
| You see, fads and phases have swept the ages
|
| Turning real places into a digital day trip
|
| The basic nature is a devilish component
|
| That forces us to capture the moment, and own it
|
| But have you ever reached out on your own
|
| For a dream that you could hold?
|
| Looked 'round at what was going down
|
| Seemed just out of control
|
| And if you ever looked down deep inside but couldn’t even find a soul
|
| Then you know that this Truman show is like stumbling down a winding road
|
| Got friends having kids in a world that don’t support them
|
| Picking up the paper, point of view is post-mortem
|
| Each breath’s a gift, wrapped in all kinds of boredom
|
| So I contort them, then deport them in the morning
|
| Exhale, flying through a tunnel with a set sail
|
| Playing Miami heat and hope to God that I don’t get hail
|
| Feeling the blues because my hip hop mood is just not true
|
| I’m lost, which door do I choose?
|
| One side is underground hip hop fans
|
| Too stubborn to raise his hands or support sound scams
|
| The other side is Nickelodeon
|
| Teenie-Bopping Jonases
|
| Where you make popcorn with some big fucking bonuses
|
| But it’s too late, I left my theater camp
|
| And plus I cheer for a chance to leave your ear in a slant
|
| Putting me inside a Strange lame-brain purgatory
|
| Where I can’t go back to basement, so move the further stories
|
| Unbe-fucking-lievable, flesh wound is bleeding through test tubes
|
| And needles to get through; |
| what’s eating you?
|
| My view is retro, Motown switched around
|
| Type of shit to make you say, «Bitch, get down,» like you’re Chris Brown
|
| I’d love some pot money but the rules are domestic
|
| Making independent moves that fill your groove with asbestos
|
| So here we are, locked late and top shape
|
| Breaking my cuffs, still stuck between a rock and a hard place |
