[Verse]

Floating in the ocean

Treading water, my arms open

In my past life, I was god

I had skies, I had sod

You would fear me, you would pray

You would love me, you would pay

With your respect, with your virgins

When you're young, nothing's urgent

When you grow, you need workshifts

You need purses, you need purpose

What is purpose without humans?

Why can't I do shit just to do shit? (Why?)

Institutions that make you stupid

They need money, so they need students

They got greedy, they need slaves

Highly doubt that I need a casket

With all these student loans in my grave

If I died today... Wait (If I died today)

What if I'm already dead and I'm just a flashback before my real eyes?

Was in a coma, and I woke up

I quit my job today, suck my nuts

King Midas, everything I touch

Is never gold, it's always silver

I'm always close, but I'm far away

Minutes late to the matinee

Is this my movie? Is this my movie?

Sleep paralysis, I'm not moving

My greatest fear is to die unhappy

Am I the joke? 'Cause I'm not laughing

Nothing's fake, nothing's real

We only exist to enjoy our meals

Follow that, follow this

What's the point? Are we lost?

Final level, who's the boss?

King Koopa, stormtrooper

Darth Vader or an elevator?

Straight to Hell, what is Heaven like?

We live our lives like an open mic

I just hope I'm right, I just hope I'm right

I just hope I'm... right

[Outro]

'Cause, uh-

You, know I-...

I've been in New York, um, for a while now

And, uh, at first I was lost... just trying to figure out who I am

And, uh, I was rapping... um, interning

And, uh, I eventually started to feel... like, like, trapped

Like I... like I can't escape this

It's like an aquarium full of people chasing their dreams
