lyrics

[Verse 1: Bodi]
Well well…its been a minute
Since we kicked it, how's your life? Have you found out how to live it?
Are you waiting for some footsteps to follow to begin it?
Have you finally realized you're a normal dude with limits?
Alex: Who you kiddin? You ain't a kid no more
So your'e only growing older, what you got that ego for?
Seeking more validation than a parking lot
So you're taking more cuts than a barbershop
And um...It's kind of hard not to judge you
Pushed away almost everyone whose loved you
Then you run to your pen and pad confessional
Put on the headphones, and crank up the decibels
Go between heart on sleeve and treating words like ventricles
And acting like you got the biggest pair of brass testicles
What you done to help the world you say you'd die for
A cyborg behind your glass house, eyesore
Who you think you save with these little rap records?
Acting like you're jesus in a world trapped lepers
Never know better than to sever connections
Tether those feathers to the ground for protection
Used to dream big now you don't get outta bed
Til the sun comes and it's half way to the end
Someday you'll give it all up finally your skin will go rust
Finding what little you trust now turns into dust
Ignore it all you want, it's the truth
Look into the mirror to your soul's window proof
The noose is growing tighter, you can try to wrestle me
But even as a fighter I will bring you down eventually
Down to your knees, how will you breathe
In gasps let it rattle, you think you'll win the battle?
Free them demons peep some freedom, leave em all behind don’t need em
Piece em like a puzzle read em, like a book and see em all shook up?
Nah I don't think so
Aim high swing low, sweet chariot rolls
Ruin what you’re touchin Mr. Rogue you’re turnin somethin
Into nothin it’s disgustin now you’re rushin to the finish line
Hook sinker – look deeper
You’ll see you’re nothin special just a bag of bones and chromosomes
A protozoan evolved and grown who made a home a page of poems
And make it known you fake it lone til date and name engrave the stone
What you think, I'm a devil on your shoulder?
If that's the case where's the other one to keep the order?
I'm in your head, in your brain, in your consciousness
You know there's only one way for stopping this
How about giving a Kalashnikov a kiss?
Or drawing an X with a knife across your wrist?
But wait - since you know I exist
You can see I'm not you and make me powerless, shit
Listen - I said listen to me
You can't shut me out
I will bring you down, I will bring you down now (yeah)
Don't go on a mission to see
The beauty that resides in the eyes of your neighbor
Or the love in your life that might be your savior
Or the reason you were born to spread your message onto paper
OK fine, you win this time, but
I'll see you later
I'll see you later
