Yeah, nobody let's beats play anymore, you know what I mean? They always just start rapping and shit like Remember when they used to let it just play You could catch a feel or whatever Look me in my eyes for a minute, I ain't crying in a minute, I've been dying on the inside I've been trying just to get it, it's like my eyes got this tendency, it's really hard for me to just smile Looking around just make me sad, they don't get my frown and that shit just make me mad I never stay down when life kick me in my ass, cause shit ain't never hopeless But I wonder should I hope less? What's the cost of paying attention? Is it too much to be free? Walk in the room like yay, how I sway all the tension But none of my answer's definite Playing lots the same notes, think I need some new chords Doing a lot of maintenance, I think I need some new chores Think I need to do mine and you need to do yours Making sure we all win, maybe we should lose more Maybe we would learn that, maybe we should try shit I don't want the love if it's on some one time shit I ain't really hear this beat until the sunlight hit I be scared we don't ever be on no run high shit Sometimes it's just time for a change I wish I could do the world but I'll start with me And no matter how well the music age, what's it mean if I never find harmony? Look me in my eyes for a minute, I ain't crying in a minute, I've been dying on the inside I've been trying just to get it, it's like my eyes got this tint It's really hard for me to just smile Looking around just make me sad They don't get my frown and that shit just make me mad I never stay down when life kick me in my ass Cause shit ain't never hopeless But I wonder should I hope less? I'm bout to hit L.E.S. with my final check Shit I just got a letter from the IRS Philosophy with that on Clinton's Harlem office They gon' have to get through many niggas just to get to me If you trying to reach me then it's better not to message me A flay or the bat signal function more effectively Anything but that, I really hate my jacket All these stupid social obligations that y'all have for me to keep it packed Bunt tied underneath my Yankee cap, my city with me everywhere I go Overshield for phony shit to which we be exposed Ex said she want nothing to do with me no more But still post pictures in my clothes Common sense erodes, enough of that shit Let me light the pack, a bowl of that and plus a bowl of apple jack's a perfect snack My grandma tried to say I need a new distraction One that don't involve consumption, I'm in pain of being passive All that on my body's taxing, told her I might make a switch I ain't make a promise cause I like my nose the way it is Maybe I could go from toy to boy soon See what life is kinda like Till then I be overdosed on Mike and Ike Shit I just hope that Look me in my eyes for a minute I ain't crying in a minute I been dying on the inside I been trying just to get it It's like my eyes got this tendency It's really hard for me to just smile Looking around just make me sad They don't get my frown and that shit just make me mad I never stay down when life kick me in my ass Cause this shit ain't never hopeless But I wonder should I hope less
