[Verse 1]
City slicker
Perfed [?] off of shitty liquor
Admirin' the skylines, such a pretty picture
If I can find the time to reflect more often
It'll bring old feelin's to life I kept in the coffin
Buried deep in the dead space between my ears
Rememberin' old faces and friends I haven't seen in years
Feel like loss is a reoccurring theme here
The sleepwalkers all forgot how to dream here
Too caught up in self-pity in this urban climate
If you search hard enough for peace of mind I'm sure you'll find it
Felt the city breathing have no time to curse the heavens kid
And I can murder all my hope but I prefer to let it live
It's hard considering all we have to face
In the fast pace culture divided by class and race
Reality checks are like a slap in the face
And got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

[Chorus]
That's the breaks
That's the breaks
I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks
That's the breaks
That's the breaks
I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks
[Bridge]
Dead broke, deaf beats
Hit or miss, lead sheet
Take what you can from this wasteland and flee
Escape from this place man, chase fantasy
Make grams and break bread with family
Seems like the world has other plans for me

[Verse 2]
Can't pack the suitcase pick up and leave
Not every man has that option or a trick up his sleeve
I got not ties, but no means of escapin' the madness
So for now I gotta live the life of average joe
Open your eyes it's apparent the green
Has the whole nation fueled off of American dreams
And I chase 'em like Hunter S. and arrogant teens
Who got it all figured out and didn't consider a different route
Got you sittin' there eyein' the prize
Seem cool at first glance but you're dyin' inside
Reality checks are like a slap in the face
And got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

[Chorus]
That's the breaks
That's the breaks
I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks
That's the breaks
That's the breaks
I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks
[Bridge]
Take what you can from this wasteland and flee
Escape from this place man, chase fantasy
Make grams and break bread with family
Seems like the world has other plans for me

[Verse 3]
There's a brown cloud surrounding my thoughts, like
For the past year I been inhalin' smoke from exhaust pipes
Take a look at the state of the world, something's not right
Got me feelin' unsettled and sickened like an off night
Tell me somethin', who's to blame for that?
Weight of the planet on your shoulders, don't strain your back
See reality checks are like a slap in the face
And got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks

[Chorus]
That's the breaks
That's the breaks
I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks
That's the breaks
That's the breaks
I got the whole entire world sayin' that's the breaks
