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
