Utilitarian

My style's utilitarian. My mind's in a million places at once

My lies come out of caring and my secrets are kept right in the front

I don't know why you're staring, I am simply a man that is blunt

Maybe it's my face that's scary. Hey, its your choice if you run

The seams of my mind are tearing, but the fabric's so tough

That if you tried to wear it out, it quickly would set you to stunned

It'd reform itself to be stronger than it was

And if you cannot see this clearly, you'll soon have no air in your lungs

Always alone, but im never lonely

Feelin like home, without the upholstery

Freedom to roam, I don't need you to hold me

People come and go, the ones that stay will feel lonely

Yes I know, even though you're feelin them closely

Never enough to just put their dreams to rest

Just like the rest, just like the best

Its purpose was always birth, existence and death

Enjoy your life while you still have it

Appreciate the subtleties of this planet

Employ your skills while you can still practice

Don't you stop... til your life does

It's just too short to live it thinkin of yesterday. Gotta keep your focus on what's coming your way

There's not enough time to point your fingers and blame. So let's find some other kind of game to play

Try to run this course with a walking pace and just be sure that nothing stays the same

Everyone's too stubborn to make a change, but that just means the change comes when they go away

With this coursing through your mental cavity, will you eventually see that this world is full of brains?

Use your internet connection to voice your affection, respect and cynicism you wanna say

Turned up the volume, now businesses can call you, how does your voice sound with corn rows turned to braids?

Smile as I'm laughin, your picture has a caption, Askin' ya connotation of break

Enjoy your life while you still have it

Appreciate the subtleties of this planet

Employ your skills while you can still practice

Don't you stop... til your life does

But where will it lead to?

I'm not prepared for spontaneity

Will you be there when I need you?

So not ready for what you'll say to me

Where will I be

In five to ten years?

Foundation is shiftin'

I can't stay here

Looks like I'm gonna have to build it myself

I'm not sure how I'll do without your help

I guess the bird's gotta learn to fly somehow

Guess I gotta jump if I must be thrown out

Wings are flappin', somethin happen?

This my passion? No relaxin

I understand why birds are crappin

Its a sacrifice for rappin'

Chirps and clappin', Earth inhabits

Happy masses, its all mapped with

Every little crevice captured

Sculptures made by smashing plastic

Money made by rhythm mastered

Understand it's nothing faster

Than the mind can wrap around

The sound of meaning after

The proud found the crowd's response

To be a bit of logic's laughter

I spit this in its complex patterns

I'm down to earth, I know what matters

Enjoy your life while you still have it

Appreciate the subtleties of this planet

Employ your skills while you can still practice

Don't you stop... til your life does

Its your world

Do with it what you wish

Utilitarian Mindset

You've been fed the fish

Never been taught to

Realize what work is

It's okay I caught you

Mentally furnished
