[Intro]

Yeah I’m runnin’

Yeah I love my life

I know

I’m a phony


[Verse 1]

Live a life in compromise!

Follow by me while I start to write my autobiography

Got to start to find all of these

Dirty thoughts that keep starting to creep up onto me

(off)er me on a plate

Here’s my heart

Now go on

Start to eat

And you can see it in the curls of a flag

Higher than you’d ever dare to climb

And you can see it in her curves

You can see it in the curse words she holds like cigarettes in between the lines

No color inside

We so broke we wear it on our sleeves

So for now we live in outlines with a color scheme

On the outside

The proud type

The type to hate money ’til we need it

Fuck money til we get it

Fuckbuddies til we crave it

Love money when we have it

Steal tha scene like freeze frames

And give the rest to bad habits

But these days...

Gets a bad rap from these cats…

Yeah right, like we even SEE that

We right cuz we believe that

Believe dat


[Hook]

And you can show me one more time

You ain’t gonna change my mind

Cuz I know it’s a breakdown

Yeah it’s a breakdown

Yeah it’s a breakdown

Yeah it’s a breakdown


[Verse 2]

See I be spinnin’ like a cartwheel when I spit these rhymes

I know I’m movin’ so I know that

I am livin’ fine

Witness my addition to this system that I’m driven by

I got my Left Eyes and my Geminis and

All the mics

In the universe

Couldn’t mute my verse

Well listen why –

I know I’m movin’ so I know I keep my system fried

I keep my spirit fried

It’s guidance from my spirit guide

Spirit

Wide

Trip

Eyes wide open

Now

It smells like American Spirits and

Parrot conspiracy theories

Of parallel worlds

Where yo gun got a barrel that’s a barrel of worms

And you talk with the doctor to tell her

Where it should hurt

We take our bodies apart

To learn how they work

But if you make it too hard

We off to murder the nurse

Ya see we pray to a God

But we turn to the dirt

When it’s too much work to eat what we love

We love what we hurt


[Hook/Outro]

And you can show me one more time

You ain’t gonna change my mind

Cuz I know

It’s a breakdown

Yeah it’s a breakdown

Yeah it’s a breakdown

Yeah it’s a breakdown

And you can go to the corner

Or go to the moon

Ain’t nobody gonna notice you

Cuz you know it’s a breakdown

Yeah it’s a breakdown

Yeah it’s a breakdown
