[Verse 1]

Yea I'm sitting here with grit and tears inside my basement

Thinking bout my friends and all our recent hurtful statements

Don’t want to split but I predict that I'll see their erasements

I must admit I can't commit they seem to have replacements

I remember just a few years back

Some December from our childhoods where shit ain’t whack

Had a temper but we still went back

'Cause what mattered was that we'd get laughs, now I ain't see all that

Man we used to have the best times, before I had the best rhymes

Now we sit together all in silence just to pass time

Waste of time if you ask me

'Cause at the end of the day, it's just the same as being lonely

I wish only to relive the days that gone by

Maybe to prolong when I was strong using this song why

Did it go wrong, we got along for so long

I fucking hate this story wish I'd go back to the prologue

But I can't see through the thick fog, it clouds my mind

I can’t accept that all our memories are left behind

So much regret but yet acceptance at the same time

It’s just I kinda thought we'd be friends for a lifetime

But nothing lasts forever, gotta stick it through the weather

Take your time and know shit will get better

Everything is due for change and something new will rearrange

Everything I knew that isn’t true makes out for something strange

[Verse 2]

Fuck all the bullshit dig from deep down inside

I wrote this once I shotgunned down my favourite rye

I feel reawakened like when Eve bit off the apple

And now my biggest problems feel like even more to tackle

Fuck society and expectation that I get an education

In my generation it means nothing but a graduation

It's not preparation just a form of separation

And that's why I hope I make it out with salivation

All I heard through all my life is make it through the system

But now I thought it through again and tried a different wisdom

I don't want to spend my youth in class completing tests

Just to make it out and spend the rest of my life at a desk

I’ma put that shit to rest and as I tuck it into bed I

Start my journey to the top and take no rest like flying red eye

You'll know I'm the best right when I shoot my spit like dead eye

And you won't have a choice because I force that shit like Jedi

[Outro: Alan Watts]

My goodness, don't you remember when you went first to school?

You went to kindergarten

And kindergarten, the idea was to push along so that you could get into first grade

And then push along so that you could get into second grade, third grade, and so on

Going up and up and then you went to high school and this was a great transition in life

And now the pressure is being put on, you must get ahead

You must go up the grades and finally be good enough to get to college

And then when you get to college, you're still going step by step, step by step, up to the great moment in which you're ready to go out into the world

And then when you get out into this famous world

Comes the struggle for success in profession or business

And again, there seems to be a ladder before you

Something for which you're reaching for all the time

And then, suddenly, when you're about 40 or 45 years old, in the middle of life

You wake up one day and say “huh? I've arrived and, by Joe, I feel pretty much the same as I've always felt. In fact I'm not so sure that I don't feel a little bit cheated.”

Because, you see, you were fooled

You were always living for somewhere where you aren't

And while, as I said, it is of tremendous use for us

To be able to look ahead in this way and to plan

There is no use in planning for a future

Which when you get to it and it becomes the present you won't be there

You'll be living in some other future which hasn't yet arrived

And so in this way, one is never able actually to inherit and enjoy the fruits of one's actions

You can't live it all unless you can live fully now
