(Not) Everybody
(专辑: Funhouse Mirror - 2019)
Tell me why, why it gotta be like this? All of the
deceit like this When I
die, I
ain't tryna be like this Time pass, we don't always catch it Why we worried 'bout marriage, worried 'bout life? While we eating dollar slice but we worry 'bout likes? Ain't no value around do we worry 'bout price if it's black or it's brown? We ain't worried 'bout life Why we wanna tell a
story on the
Gram, but don't know our own? Why life one great big "when in Rome"? Cause we only do what they say's cool, man, that's the
only rule, man And we all end up clones And my God, I
ain't got no time to waste with my squad I
wanna see all my people evolve But we in a
world where that seem so hard, so hard, so hard Why the
KKK got to stay, but the
Panthers didn't? While that strange fruit sway in the
wind and we still ain't had to answer to it Abandon true-ness Never never never never asked the
white man to prove it The
hard truth? We don't all get better with time It's a
matter of the
weather and climate and whether the
times'll get better in time is the
only question of mine I
regret I'm inclined to be hesitant cause evidence find They say wine better with age, I
tell 'em people ain't the
same What we keeping in the
bottle only recreate the
pain I
said no, no, no, not everybody grows Say you'll learn when you get older but that shit ain't guaranteed Don't get to be who you could be only who you dare to be I
said no, no, no, not everybody grows Everybody gets older Not everybody gets wiser Make it cold on my shoulder, be the
fuel to my fire Everybody wanna retire, everybody only care 'bout what they desire Everybody only do as much as required Everybody feel the
truth inside but speak lies for a
long time I
was in the
tunnel had to shovel for a
minute Had to make adjustments to the
vision Still go back to the
dark just to visit Still get livid if you try to tell me 'bout a
limit Muhfucka what's that? Try to shoot me down, I'll bust back I
don't got time for the
lames and neither do you We all could know what genius could do I
could see it in you, I
believe it is true Just keep fighting the
fight to have dreams like you do I
can hear it it's proof, I'll be here when you blew Here in the
booth trying to speak it the
truth Yo, yo, yo, yo Seeds don't grow if you don't tend to the
garden Lotta dead roots in the
soil, my G
So if I
don't stay around, beg your pardon, I
gotta make moves to be who I
could be I
swear, I
swear They say wine better with age, I
tell 'em people ain't the
same What we keeping in the
bottle only recreate the
pain I
said no, no, no, not everybody grows Say you'll learn when you get older but that shit ain't guaranteed Don't get to be who you could be only who you dare to be I
said no, no, no, not everybody grows
