Slogans never saved me.

[Verse 1: tobi]

Yeah, uh

Say I’m

Riddled with deceit I hide it in my sleeve

She kissed me on my cheek, think I’m deceived

I’m tryna chip and see my peak, but the problem is I’m rotten beneath my teeth

And I keep with a smile on me

In denial when I try to swim but the dial on my skin deny the isle that I’m in and below me

Toast to the homies

Without ‘em I ain’t shit and my family keep a pen and a list of all my sins

I’m tryna keep growing

‘Til I can’t, and all my sudden ships sink and erase

Subtle things keep me sane, like when I touch a broken soul that lost its place in a highеr plane

I drown my tears, then I paint

A rupturеd piece that ain’t likely to see a direction of a vane

I’ve seen better days, so young but old enough to need a cane

Broken and tattered by his ways

The shogun spoke and said the slogan ‘spose to say, “Heed the path and you’ll be saved”

Walking for so long, all I need is a clean slate, yeah

Just another cog in the fucking machine

I said just another cog in the fucking machine

Scrapping together reasons for you to stay with me

I been looking for a reason for you to stay with me

Pen to my pad since we starting over

I need all the help just to see my old world sober

The further I get from you, the more i need the closure

The closer I am to you, the less i need exposure

Liquor shots out a tube sock, i’m keeping my composure

Only scrap the bottom so long, you can’t go any lower

We can only go so long, until I no longer know her

I keep her memory alive so I can control her

Just another cog in the fucking machine

I said just another cog in the fucking machine

Scrapping together reasons for you to stay with me

I been looking for a reason for you to stay with me

Just another-

Fucking

Yeah

Just another fucking cog

Just a-

Just another fucking cog in the machine
