How terrible is wisdom, when it brings no profit to the wise?
Yo, upfront and personal, Chris Lucas
Split Profits, 2014
Yeah
What's happening here? Please tell me, at least help me explain
I can't do it myself, this ***'s too much
It's too confusing and strange, multiplying the truth sucks
Boo hoo, just another sob story, started out sweet but got gory
Nah, we couldn't give two fucks, we're all struggling now, it's not glory
That's why we do drugs, consume substances and lose touch
With what's surrounding our eyes, we've got a mountain to climb
But who does? I see people that speak it at me
When I can't answer your questions, I've got one of my own
What's happened to us? I've scratched my head until I've drew blood
As feuds flood the streets, beef's eating up nights
People misconstrued, minds all tarn-twisted and find evil
But when all's said and done, we can't blame them
I don't believe in a God, but it's got me saying amen
So be it, all I see is moving lips, making no sense
Please save me from their voices of protest
I'm so stressed, at the same time focused on progress
It sends shivers down my spine, till my broke neck snaps and my back breaks
I can't take it no more, I struggle for the steps for my own legs
But I won't fall to the floor, I keep going till there's no strength left
So be it, yeah so be it
I mean there's light in this tunnel but won't reach it, it's no secret
Sometimes close to the edge, hope that I don't meet it
I fight with the tide as both feet kick and grow seasick
Exposed to the depths, now deep is what I've grown to expect
Holding my breath like there's a rope round my neck
That gets tighter as I get closer to death
I close my eyes when I can't cope with the stress
But no less, what I wrote in my text
I stay true to, and move through whatever situation I'm glued to
Cause you who, writes the future in your own book
So don't look for sympathy if you lose, you won't get it
Cause what's happening here is so hectic
I can barely keep my eyes on the road and my toes treaded
I'm losing sight of my goals but I won't let it go
Like it's set in stone, I hit those with my own message
So be it, all I see is moving lips, making no sense
Please save me from their voices of protest
I'm so stressed, at the same time focused on progress
It sends shivers down my spine till my broke neck snaps
And my back breaks, I can't take it no more
I struggle for the steps for my own legs
But I won't fall to the floor
I keep going till there's no strength left
So be it
