once upon a time there was a concept someday we can all escape the nonsense work hard let the rewards connect and maybe we can sweep up all the trash off them front steps silly man he believed in that ethic seeds planted the needle to the record it s in the plans that he set out to perfect but every few steps was a feast with a message boost these up for them have nots let s separate the players and the mascots little bit of success is a backdrop and you kind of look like a jackpot give me what you got or get got ain t no getting off at the next stop don t get caught with a wet top i thought the best shop was the best spot i guess not they all get mad at you so see through not much they had to do but read through turn off that attitude they need you no time to act a fool just be cool now keep your defence up right no choice but to be tense uptight not one type and the other just might throw shots at your body character even love life but why they got to turn your meals in try and not to hurt them feelings but burnt pride or burn that ceiling in between the search and the curse of the dreams man girl look at how they stare at ya pass judgement together they re chapters come back a year after they re happily ever after and i wonder what the world will look like from their ladder and now you had it up to right there hey mama put the kid back in the high chair act like you care that life ain t fair nah let em finish up their nightmare  open up them cracks you can t overreact it don t stop but you seem so relaxed you know they gonna cross over them tracks but it thoughts like that that keep holding you back is that really how it works now is they hurt style ever worthwhile return it with a smirk or a smile cause you took yourself off the dirt pile when you had your first child it s too easy to call it envy everybody want to be all they can be new graffiti make em feel so heavy but they all get friendly when your walls are empty it s always the same approach they just want a little thing to hold you can t save they soul so just chase your goals let em hate far away or let em hate up close now
