The Way

I'm waking up and I'm getting out of bed
But my mind has been filled with this incandescent dread
Oh shit
I got another day to do
But I gotta roll a smoke when my mind is feeling blue
So I wake and bake into an inebriated state
Better finish your veg and leave an empty plate
Like your mind, it's like when I unwind
I feel my brain pinging like a fucking wind chime
Ting, ting, ting tong
I try to sing in tune but I've been getting it wrong
But that's okay cuz I'm a rapper, not a singer
I'm like the brussel sprouts on a side of Sunday dinner
God loves a winner
But I deliver
Another fifth of vodka directly to my liver
You're 27 so your life is so easy, but if I asked for help I don't think nobody believe me
Think twice it's just another day in paradise
I don't need the parasites to tell me bout my wrongs and rights
This subject matter, you just want your pockets fatter, you'll only get the latter climbing up the social ladder, but
That's just the way that it goes, so take the microdose and let the smoke fill up your throat
Then I'll just catch the next wave, cuz I make my momma happy cuz I'm chill and behave

Yeah, yeah this is the way. I been holding back like I found another day
Yeah, yeah this is the way. I been holding back like I found another day
Yeah, yeah this is the way. I been holding back like I found another day
Yeah, yeah this is the way. I been holding back like I found another day

Yeah

So imma just tell the truth
I don't pay attention when I turn on the news
It's obtuse, yeah the frantic world of abuse
I try and keep it positive but I'm running out of juice

There's nothing in my tank, they wanna take my bank
I'm hiding on an island just chill with my plans
That's heavy, but I think I gotta let me
Escape from the world head out to the Serengeti

Out here, catch a deer out with my teeth
I'm just looking for that rush, just to find my inner peace
It's pragmatic, but I think I gotta have it
The Hunter's instinct by the tail so you grab it
Hey son, can you the sun
You've been seeing it since 1991
It don't mean that I ain't been here before
From the day that I'm born, in this world I'm a pawn

Yeah, yeah this is the way. I been holding back like I found another day
Yeah, yeah this is the way. I been holding back like I found another day
Yeah, yeah this is the way. I been holding back like I found another day
Yeah, yeah this is the way. I been holding back like I found another day
