Brick Walls & Blurry Faces
[Verse 1]
I just spent the past 200 years
Convincin' the stubborn devil my brain was smart as his
How you think he reacted? Typically
He was on the move and speeding along the way
So to him I was nothin' but another blurry face
Do you mind [?] goin' about your day?
Nah, you mind your own and find you a parking space
True, I could walk around like Walter [?]
[?] pistol inside the huntin' vest
Mounted on the axe as it flies off the handle
Fighting fire with fire but all I got is this lighter
Tough, safari through the concrete jungle
Where the easiest thing to get into is trouble
I watched a young woman feed her leather faced favorite
Poverty and luck had him chained to the pavement
I just kinda stood there, gawkin' with amazement
I see these guys all the time, I never knew their faces
Stark realization made the racin' feet freeze
With a life this short, I guess we move at warp speed

[Verse 2]
Dawg you used to be the man, back in the days
If I had a dime for every time that I said that phrase
I'd have money pilin' higher than the sky in the bank
Prolly on an island smilin', layin' up in the shade
Instead my pockets empty, watchin' many people fail
Hype trains derailed, relationships that never sailed
When you're young you never can tell
But always learn who's fake when it gets real
The side effect of movin' fast is you hurry places
And those you see along your path have blurry faces
You never slow down enough to learn who's who
Beyond the superficial looks and what they can do for you
Now you're stuck, down on your luck, time sunk
Deeper than the shallow friends that really didn't give a fuck
No lookin' back when your rearview's fogged up
It's a cold world, better turn that defrost up
