FABRIC - Intellectual

[Intro]

Take it all, or leave it

[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]

I can't sleep like I used to

The world will try to tell you who you are before you get to

Explain yourself, your thoughts

Your motives and all of your reasons

Two albums every season, what the hell do y’all believe in?

Why the hell do y'all keep reachin'?

In the evenings when I see ’em

I tell myself that love will be the thing to keep us from grieving

Need something new to believe in

'Cause these new niggas'll change on you

I mean they change on you

Why the hell the BBC only writes about me

When it comes down to controversy?

What about three CD's in one year with no label?

Then we signed and our story turned into a fucking fable

I was that nigga in a room with no motherfuckin' cable and no table

Now my mom call me whenever she need her car note

Cellphone, whatever bill paid too, y'all niggas losers

You don't understand why I do what I do, so let me do it

Get the hell on, let me do it, get the hell on, let me do it

[Verse 2: Dom McLennon]

I don't speak like I used to

I’m thinking of a way to change the world that I move through

I feel like Nikola, what I invent is what I’m true to

I feel for Nikola with these ideas that I grew through

I know that when they see a brilliant mind they'll just abuse you

It’s hard to feel what's real, some nights I'm scared that I'm delusional

I’m scared I'm more like Nikola than I'd ever collude to

I'm scared of what can happen when ideas will consume you

'Cause there isn't room for peace I can achieve

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

I keep tellin' ya

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

[Bridge: Merlyn Wood]

Stay rough, get buff, get out, hey, boy

Stay rough, get buff, get out

The monsters swarm 'round with them toys

Hey, boy, stay rough, get buff, get out

The monsters swarm 'round with them toys

[Verse 3: Joba]

Don't mind me, I'm just killin' time (You can pick me to pieces)

But if you've got a lifeline, throw it, throw it

Don't mind me, I'm just killin' time (You can pick me to pieces)

But if you've got a lifeline, throw it, throw it

[Verse 4: bearface]

Why the fuck would you share this shit with these people?

I don't know these people, I don't know you either, no more

I'm at war with myself

Every time I see this shit I wanna kill myself

And they coming for my mother, sending bullets for my head

Think they fallin' in love but I'd rather be dead

Please just leave me alone, I don't wanna be read

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

I keep tellin' ya

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

I keep tellin' ya

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

I keep tellin' ya

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

I keep tellin' ya

You don't understand why I can't get up and shout

[Outro: Merlyn Wood, Matt Champion, Ashlan Grey, Jabari Manwa, Joba & Romil Hemnani]

It's the best years of our lives, motherfucker

You are now about to experience

These are the best years of our lives

I feel you
