[Verse 1]

City slicker

Perfed [?] off of shitty liquor

Admirin' the skylines, such a pretty picture

If I can find the time to reflect more often

It'll bring old feelin's to life I kept in the coffin

Buried deep in the dead space between my ears

Rememberin' old faces and friends I haven't seen in years

Feel like loss is a reoccurring theme here

The sleepwalkers all forgot how to dream here

Too caught up in self-pity in this urban climate

If you search hard enough for peace of mind I'm sure you'll find it

Felt the city breathing have no time to curse the heavens kid

And I can murder all my hope but I prefer to let it live

It's hard considering all we have to face

In the fast pace culture divided by class and race

Reality checks are like a slap in the face

And got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

[Chorus]

That's the breaks

That's the breaks

I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

That's the breaks

That's the breaks

I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

[Bridge]

Dead broke, deaf beats

Hit or miss, lead sheet

Take what you can from this wasteland and flee

Escape from this place man, chase fantasy

Make grams and break bread with family

Seems like the world has other plans for me

[Verse 2]

Can't pack the suitcase pick up and leave

Not every man has that option or a trick up his sleeve

I got not ties, but no means of escapin' the madness

So for now I gotta live the life of average joe

Open your eyes it's apparent the green

Has the whole nation fueled off of American dreams

And I chase 'em like Hunter S. and arrogant teens

Who got it all figured out and didn't consider a different route

Got you sittin' there eyein' the prize

Seem cool at first glance but you're dyin' inside

Reality checks are like a slap in the face

And got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

[Chorus]

That's the breaks

That's the breaks

I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

That's the breaks

That's the breaks

I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

[Bridge]

Take what you can from this wasteland and flee

Escape from this place man, chase fantasy

Make grams and break bread with family

Seems like the world has other plans for me

[Verse 3]

There's a brown cloud surrounding my thoughts, like

For the past year I been inhalin' smoke from exhaust pipes

Take a look at the state of the world, something's not right

Got me feelin' unsettled and sickened like an off night

Tell me somethin', who's to blame for that?

Weight of the planet on your shoulders, don't strain your back

See reality checks are like a slap in the face

And got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

[Chorus]

That's the breaks

That's the breaks

I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

That's the breaks

That's the breaks

I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks
