[Verse 1: tobi]
Yeah, uh
Say I’m
Riddled with deceit I hide it in my sleeve
She kissed me on my cheek, think I’m deceived
I’m tryna chip and see my peak, but the problem is I’m rotten beneath my teeth
And I keep with a smile on me
In denial when I try to swim but the dial on my skin deny the isle that I’m in and below me
Toast to the homies
Without ‘em I ain’t shit and my family keep a pen and a list of all my sins
I’m tryna keep growing
‘Til I can’t, and all my sudden ships sink and erase
Subtle things keep me sane, like when I touch a broken soul that lost its place in a highеr plane
I drown my tears, then I paint
A rupturеd piece that ain’t likely to see a direction of a vane
I’ve seen better days, so young but old enough to need a cane
Broken and tattered by his ways
The shogun spoke and said the slogan ‘spose to say, “Heed the path and you’ll be saved”
Walking for so long, all I need is a clean slate, yeah
[Verse 2: jack sage]
Just another cog in the fucking machine
I said just another cog in the fucking machine
Scrapping together reasons for you to stay with me
I been looking for a reason for you to stay with me
Pen to my pad since we starting over
I need all the help just to see my old world sober
The further I get from you, the more i need the closure
The closer I am to you, the less i need exposure
Liquor shots out a tube sock, i’m keeping my composure
Only scrap the bottom so long, you can’t go any lower
We can only go so long, until I no longer know her
I keep her memory alive so I can control her
Just another cog in the fucking machine
I said just another cog in the fucking machine
Scrapping together reasons for you to stay with me
I been looking for a reason for you to stay with me
Just another-
Fucking
Yeah
Just another fucking cog
Just a-
Just a-
Just another fucking cog in the machine
