Level With Yourself
[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning
Check your revelation
Making sure you know it
As well as you can
Then sell it to yourself man
Cause it won't make a difference
If everyone believes it
But you don't believe it
[Chorus]
Just level with yourself
Level with yourself
Level with yourself
And be at peace with thee
[Chorus 2]
We're making a list of all
The negative side effects
That come with the shit you let
Yourself get away with, oh your God
We're building a wall between
The kids and the gasoline
Of editorial and advertising
[Verse 2]
Riches I heed not
Nor man's empty praise
Means fuck the gatekeeper
Cause I'm fine outside the gate
[Bridge]
I wanna level with myself
I wanna level with my friends
I wanna level with my kin
And be at peace with them
[Chorus 2]
I’m making a list of all
The negative side effects
That come with the shit i let
Myself get away with
Oh my god
I’m building a wall between
The kids and the gasoline
Of editorial and advertising
