[Verse]

You see

Every single family goes through family feuds

I know as good as you that is debatable

When I overhear 'em that forgiveness is our greatest tool

Only here to challenge you, they say that silence is our greatest strength

And that’s definitely the case for Paul anyway

I went away deliberating on frenemies

A friend to me, my meditation

Still don't practice enough so tend to attract

All these cut snakes that are ma—ma–

Mad that I wasn't gettin’ back to messages

Unimpressing 'em, no more negative energy

Welcome to the exorcist

A cleansing, a new chapter, won't move backwards

Mutiny on Australian actors, no Hugh Jackman's

Nah, no old jokers, no Jack Nicholson livin' here

You around for ten years but so again were Hammer pants

And everything expires though

So why keep bangin' on an out of tune xylophone

Ain't no music, ain't no fucking harmony in life like that

I wear my scars proud like a Maori and a tribal tat

Ain’t no parody, no Spinal Tap

Psychoanalyse that if you’re needing to

Go spread your sickness, yeah, I've witnessed how your ego moves

All the bitchin’ it ain't helping ya

It ain't healthy, you can only blame yourself for that

I'm not telepathic, I can’t read your mind, mate

Turned ice cold in a day, now you're extinct like those primates

And I ain't wasting time up on these waste men

Ain't no child's play, no Graceland

Ain't no Michael Jackson, ain't no room for your two-faced shit around here

And if you hearin' this and think it's about you, well, it is, man

You see a loss can be a win with your perspective

There's a lot of time between now and then the Jetsons

Invest in the real ones

'Cause dark entities can only stick around if you go and feed 'em, man


[Interlude]

Real energy

Hey, last time I saw you I was losing my mind listening to Tame

But honesty is rare these days, man

See, and I see my energy like it was money

Gotta spend it wisely

And only on the real ones


[Chorus]

No one's obsession

No bread, no cup of wine

No one lesson

When no one fuels the fire

Ain't no one mention

That envy will divide us

The ghosts remind us

Beyond Babylon


[Outro]

Death over dinner, it was raw

I will not stomach anymore

No, no, no, no, no

I know there's a lot on your plate

But I will not cook and then go clean

No, no, no, no, no

Real energy

Real ones
