Song | Piece of Mind 3 |
Artist | Witt Lowry |
Album | Dreaming With Our Eyes Open |
[00:13.06] | You love hearing me vent, this is no heat from the vent |
[00:15.12] | When the rent due, you don't know what I've been through |
[00:17.13] | When we can't afford lights |
[00:18.03] | I write in the dark with a paper I'm putting my pen to |
[00:20.45] | Try to **** with my mental |
[00:21.51] | Said my potential is minimum wage |
[00:23.17] | Majority die before twenty five |
[00:24.63] | Forty years later we're put in a grave |
[00:26.34] | I'm filled up with rage |
[00:27.40] | This is the culture you sent me to save? |
[00:28.82] | Society stuck in a cage |
[00:30.07] | Remembering back in the day |
[00:31.29] | Feeling so real when I ride while I bump Kanye |
[00:33.32] | But damn, huh |
[00:35.03] | Real turned into photoshopped Kim K |
[00:36.70] | Everyday when they wake up, girls cake up |
[00:38.25] | On your make up all over their face |
[00:39.67] | They think it's okay |
[00:40.64] | They're ****ing their way to the top |
[00:41.81] | They see all your money and stare at their waist |
[00:43.39] | They throw up their dinner not knowin' you're fake |
[00:45.01] | They'll never compare to those pics that you take |
[00:46.68] | And this is the world that you ****in' create |
[00:48.35] | A world that your daughter can't even escape |
[00:50.08] | See, you were the one that was left to decay |
[00:51.70] | A world in which I have been sent here to save, but 'Ye |
[00:55.02] | I think were on the same page |
[00:56.58] | Cause I've been jackin' off to Kim since I was in the fifth grade |
[00:59.53] | You see you show us how to live, but it's a fib to get paid |
[01:02.93] | Now Mr. West, I got a question, who are the new slaves? |
[01:06.21] | See what media made, the point of the game |
[01:07.93] | Is slaved up with TV and radio playing |
[01:09.54] | I ain't pointing the blame, I ain't pointing the blame |
[01:11.81] | Cause it all don't hang |
[01:13.18] | On you |
[01:14.04] | I'm a slave of the truth and |
[01:15.40] | That's the point that I need you to prove, well |
[01:16.97] | We're slaved to a label |
[01:18.02] | And it's funny that labels are slaved to the youth |
[01:20.08] | So why can't you see all the power in you? |
[01:21.60] | Kid from your class couldn't pass but he drew |
[01:23.21] | Till it turned into music you're listening to |
[01:24.83] | Now we‘re changing the world, mother****ing IQ |
[01:26.79] | Walked in the label like, "Yo what it do |
[01:28.30] | So give me a mil, better off make it two" |
[01:29.88] | Creative control in a bowl full of stew |
[01:31.49] | So you can ask Dan, he was there with me too |
[01:34.57] | Ugh, I don't like this dude, I ain't signing shit |
[01:36.73] | Ten writers who can barely write a hit |
[01:38.33] | Compare me too, check the writer list |
[01:40.03] | There are images who the industry will use |
[01:41.60] | As a ****ing tool just to get more rich |
[01:43.51] | Do you get it yet? I'm sick of the lyin' |
[01:45.32] | "Indie," when really you're signed |
[01:46.58] | Making it hard for real indie art like mine |
[01:48.45] | Money don't grow on a tree like pine |
[01:50.11] | Lyin' to fans, robbing them blind |
[01:51.72] | Keeping them buying by keeping them blind |
[01:53.39] | Airing you out it's a matter of time |
[01:55.11] | Stuck in a bind, you can't buy... |
[01:57.28] | Time, can't buy time |
[01:58.43] | Open your legs and never the mind |
[02:00.05] | You're looking for head and never inside |
[02:01.67] | We're looking to find the attention online |
[02:03.33] | We only see surface we're lame and we're dry |
[02:05.00] | Placing our value in things that we buy |
[02:06.61] | We're staring at ass but never in eyes |
[02:08.37] | We're so disconnected from bein' alive |
[02:10.91] | From bein' alive |
[02:11.97] | So disconnected from bein' alive |
[02:14.34] | Take a look in my eyes |
[02:15.41] | Then in my soul and see what you find |
[02:17.01] | Yeah, I used to get bullied so bad I would sit in my room and I'd cry |
[02:20.83] | Now the same mother****er like, "Mark, where is the song I could buy?" |
[02:23.56] | Now open your eyes |
[02:24.36] | Human, but more like a virus, greedy and spineless |
[02:26.33] | Take from the earth and we fill it with violence |
[02:28.01] | Take and we take we're the same as a tyrant |
[02:29.68] | Never been silent |
[02:30.63] | Learn what we know from a Facebook post |
[02:32.20] | It's a joke now we're looking so mindless |
[02:33.45] | Stupid we seem to define it |
[02:34.66] | On the same boat, when they think we would sink then we fight it |
[02:36.44] | Love is the only thing timeless |
[02:38.00] | Live in an era where we value weed over love |
[02:39.96] | So you can buy a drug, but you can't buy love |
[02:41.67] | So you can buy a bottle, but you can't buy grub |
[02:43.38] | So you can buy class doesn't mean you're not dumb |
[02:45.00] | Most the people I know, they would rather feel numb |
[02:46.72] | And so tell me when was the last time you had fun |
[02:48.28] | Other then when you **** or turn up at the club |
[02:49.94] | Man, I'm sick of this wack shit |
[02:51.26] | You're faker than Iggy Azalea's accent |
[02:53.08] | You've to live in the past tense |
[02:54.69] | Me, I'm the future in everything I put to action |
[02:56.66] | What's a rap god to a rappin' assassin? |
[02:58.22] | No one has mentioned my passion |
[02:59.65] | Power through tinder you're looking for action |
[03:01.25] | Now at the club and you're pounding the captain |
[03:02.96] | Never found passion, living in fraction |
[03:04.78] | Lonely and asking what your life could be |
[03:07.36] | Now when life gets hard you don't fight but instead you gon' light the weed |
[03:10.54] | So you spend four years and you work real hard to go get a degree |
[03:13.86] | Now you're working a five nine to five and you're chasing another man's dream |
[03:16.73] | Most of us settle it seems |
[03:17.88] | Girl, you're worth more than you ****ing a town full of guys |
[03:19.90] | Nothing more precious than time |
[03:21.16] | Nothing more tragic then dying while bein' alive |
[03:23.17] | We look at the sky |
[03:24.13] | Know that one day we'll decay in the dirt we let die |
[03:26.13] | I'm here to deliver you all from the lies |
[03:27.74] | And know that I gave you a piece of my... mind |
[00:13.06] | You love hearing me vent, this is no heat from the vent |
[00:15.12] | When the rent due, you don' t know what I' ve been through |
[00:17.13] | When we can' t afford lights |
