lyrics

Burning up,
Got no hot plate.
I'm literally cooking cause the sun is in my face.
Can't pull down the drapes,
No relief in this place.
Now I feel the bubbling and melting of my face.

First place,
A forerunner in this space,
Okay.
Now I'm serving up some dinner,
And there's seconds on the way.
In sight, in mind,
Man, I'm working double time,
Swap the path of my trajectory,
To mold, shape, refine.
Go.

Melt down,
That's okay,
Can't go winning every day.
Calm down,
You'll be fine,
Paint that face on one more time.

Ignore me, adore me, It doesn't matter,
I've stopped trying to make my way atop the social ladder.
In the end, I know their thoughts don't really matter,
Talk shit, get pissed, act as if you were my bladder.

Windowpane glass,
Ripped ass back in gym class.
Straight facts,
I went home to smoke all of my moms grass.
Snacks up in the backpack,
Veg out like a Snorlax.
Pudding cups on deck,
And you know I bought the 12 pack.


Hot soups, bread bowls and bronze laddles,
Entertainment set with a headdress of cables.
Somebody pulls the plug, then the TV disables.
A cautionary tale to not fixate on fables,
No.

Hey hey,
Don't give up,
Half these people don't give a fuck.
Go do what's best for you,
Set your sights and follow through.

If you don't, then I think you'll die.
No I'm just kidding, I think you'll be alright.
Think about it every day and night.
Remind yourself why you fight this fight.


Buzzing like fuck,
I'm a bee.
There's no black eyed peas with me.
I'm out of sight,
I'm working hard,
Penning my thoughts in the back of a space bar.
Later get head in the back of a space car.
Marathon runner,
I'ma go, I'ma go far.
Big Boss mode,
go hard, go Reptar.
Counting all my money while I'm puffin on a cigar.

Fame and fortune is a hell of a drug,
When you're coming from a place,
Where no one shows you love.
Blinders on, save your eyes from the heat,
Now you're too blind to see those that struggle underneath your feet.


Hey, hey,
Enough's enough,
Maybe for once you should give a fuck.
Look around, get a clue,
This is what narcissism'll do.

If you don't,
then when you die,
You'll be alone with no one by your side.
If that's the route you take,
Just know you made a grave mistake.
