When the heavy ass Way8 of the world is so unbearable,
This hurry up, slow down, hurry up, slow down, is terrible,
Man be careful,
This bullshit gets thick quick,
My problem my proverb, my parable,
Feels so heavy on my heart,
It's an intense sentiment,
I've carried it so far that I can't break anyway,
Getaway, Anywhere, any day, so cliche,
In the situation would I even know what to say,
In a way, be ok, even though I'm underpaid,
Turn around, turn away, underground passageway,
Shadow play, hell to pay, every workday,
I'm feelin' so led astray, disobey, hideaway,
Simplify, Naïveté,
So many crooks can't keep em straight,
They betray, they lay in wait,
They doomsday, downplay, frustrate, deflate,
Ha, and they call me cynical,
as if that was a bad thing, I wish your view was critical.
Go with it,
Don't notice it,
Just act like it's all good,
And you're cool with it,
Man I'm sick of this,
Ridicules,
Sisyphus ain't got shit on this,
Pushing a boulder,
Up a hill just so it can roll me over,
As I’m just getting older,
I can’t bear the frigid polar,
Ways the world's shoulder,
Is freezing, it seems like every season it's gettin' colder,
I sit and told her,
She only wants me to sit and hold her,
So I console her,
I’m tryin' to get over enclosure,
Shine down warmth like I was solar,
I’m goin' slower,
Tryin' to show her,
How to patiently plant a seed,
Watch them grow so she can learn to be a seed sower,
Yeah we need more,
Want to see her soar,
She's learning what life is for,
It’s not too late,
The worlds not rotten at it's core,
The power of love is great,
Much more than hate and war,
I’m tryin' to find a balance,
I drink deep from the chalice,
Rise up to the challenge,
And wisely choose my battles and gallants,
I’m refining my knowledge,
Apply my talents with valance,
I play my role like a sage,
No rage no vengeance or malice,
I just...
Go with it,
Don't notice it,
Just act like it's all good,
And you're cool with it,
I'm tryin' to be as skillful as I can as a man,
with the Way8 of the world on his shoulders,
