I’m bored and broke
Out of herb to smoke
My landlord’s a fucking joke
Maybe I could use some coke
Maybe that would help reclaim my focus
Used to be quite capable of the hocus pocus
Back in the day
Not sure if there’s anything new to say
Seems like it’s all been done
But I’m still gonna get up on the motherfuckin mic and run
Before I succumb
Tired of mumbling cats that sound numb
I’m out of fucks to give
Only got one life to live
So I’m a take a verse and fashion a shiv
And shove it in the side of society
I will not go into that gentle night quietly
I’ll rise up unsurprisingly
Thundering and rioting
Lead an uprising that admires me
Til the day that I’m expiring
Your technique. It's very strange.
It's a new one.
Is that so?
Do you really think you're good?
I’m joking of course.
Not doing this because a situation forced my hand.
But damn man the radio is bland, so in a way it did, fam.
And I’ve been a fan since the third grade, and I gotta say,
It was a good day so thanks O’shea.
Every time I rock a mic it seems to resonate
So think it’s about time I let this art elevate
Take the next step
Record, perfect
And disseminate
Haters gonna hate
So no point worrying what they do
You can’t please all the people all the time, it’s true
Lord knows I’ve spent way too long trying to, dude
Nothing to do but to pursue what’s right for you.
