These fuckers tryna harsh my mellow

I can't let em

That's an ill reality starts to set in when your sweatin

On the small things, all things considered

Gotta focus on the bigger picture

That ain't nothin but some litter

And the cosmetic shit ain't nothin but some glitter

Meant to blind your eyes, cut you down to size

While your blinkin thinkin bout the who & why

And even though they try, can't let em affect

Your mind set, even indirect

Gotta protect

Your emotions, stand strong

Like a lone rock in a vicious ocean

Gotta take a shot if its open

Catch fire, leave em smokin

You can see it in his eyes even if you're jokin

By the same token

If their guard down & you put a crack in that vault

It ain't your fault

Should've took it with a grain of salt

You know the saying

Oh, well I guess he didn't

I used to care, now I'm just indifferent - fuck it

Chorus

Sometimes things get fucked up

Outta control

Got old, lost a piece of your soul

That's how the story was told

Sounds cold

They weren't there

Didn't see it unfold

Its crazy what we do to cope

But you don't see it in yourself, nah, never no nope

Keep slidin down the same slope

Exchange fate for hope

Anger for jokes

Pain turned to danger if provoked

Got a crazy person aimin a scope

Made your point- did it change nothin? Nope

Thats the way of the world

Douchebag with your favoritest girl

Or you- wit your baby, your girl

And another guy like damn she's with that jerk why?

Don't you see how it swirls?

Round & round, better learn to swim or you'll drown

Shit ain't all just kittens & clowns

Too much dickin around & you'll get kicked to the ground

So when you're up don’t forget how it felt to be down

Chorus

The moral of the story:

Stay true, do you- guts get the glory

Couldn't keep up, he wasn't worthy

Are you really gonna ball in some other fuck's jersey?

That's not how things are done

Power moves, that's how rings get won

Adam & Eve 'til kingdom come & kings come undone

I don't wanna live forever; I just want a good run

Get outta the twilight, have my time in the sun

Lead a full life, pass the baton to my son

Sit back, watch it all start over from square one

I guess that's the dream right there

But if I learned one thing its that life ain't fair

Outta everyone you know, a few might care

Rest of the time its a fight just to breathe nice air

You better believe I'm gonna get my share

So you can rock with me or just stand there an stare
