Same Ol Me

I call this the land of the lost souls Abandoned and found home Put the pen in my hand and I just let the thoughts go The story fully starts to live and it gets so intense That as I'm writing, lightning sparks the page As it meets the pen Let's not pretend Shit ain't the way it is Everything will sometime meet its end or shit Whatever you can call it, cause we all debating it But who knows, maybe that's the way we all escape this shit Live as if, after all this you wanna be free Imagine being able to truly spread your wings Everything you've ever dreamed on the count of three And everyone you've ever loved, all living in peace At least hopefully, still at the end of the day This is all just a maybe But hope is stronger than anything that's ever been created The one key that they don't tell you for motivation So great yet so fragile, man, it really is the strangest Or so it can be But that's only if you let it Close your eyes and tell me what you see Is it everything that you were taught to believe Or is it mystery? I guess I gotta get this cream before I know my destiny But once I finally replied to all my messages I feel the hole that lies inside deeper than my chest And it's eating me alive I feel as if I just took my last five and just invested it But blessed I is with my low-top kicks Man, just stop this shit These cops kill kids and the angry mobs get hit While they sit on our pot, we use to piss But f*ck it stand-up for what you love and it's gon' lead to bliss Or they gon' throw you in the pen and lock you up for life Just to get some fucking Christmas presents for they kids But man, you ain't know our route Way in over our heads without a single clue what to do Watch us fall down as kings with no crowns Time's got so wild, mom's yelling Get the f*ck out Got rosies ain't no ring around Cause when we bring roses, somebody six feet underground And now he can't explain his feelings so they all end up shaming him Give this man some time Come on, let's just have some faith in him Who knows, maybe one day he'll be selling out y'all stadiums While your girl buying tickets to go backstage and give me Cranium Cause for sure you know I'm there if we playin' Times Square Counting all the blessings in the air, I know this life ain't fair I climbed to the top just to watch you disappear They call it getting older I call it self-inflicted torture All the brochures are really lies, just for sure Everybody listening right now, that's who I speak the truth for Life ain't no resort, crows fly when hopes die But we'll heal the broken lines, I know that there's more to life So I'ma try to take the whole wide world before I see the light
