[Intro]
Take it all or leave it all
[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]
I can't sleep like I used to
The world will try to tell you who you are before you get to
Explain yourself, your thoughts, your motives, and all of your reasons
Two albums every season, what the hell do ya’ll believe in?
Why the hell do ya'll keep reachin'? In the evenings when I see them
I tell myself that love will be the thing to keep us from grieving
Need something new to believe in
’Cause these new niggas'll change on you, I mean they change on you
Why the hell the BBC only writes about me
When it comes down to controversy?
What about three CDs in one year with no label?
And we signed and our story turned into a fucking fable
I was a nigga in a room with no motherfuckin' cable and no table
Now my mom call me whenever she needs her car note
Cellphone, whatever bill paid too, y'all niggas losers
You understand why I do what I do, so let me do it
Get the hell on, let me do it, get the hell on, let me do it
[Verse 2: Dom McLennon]
I don't speak like I used to
I'm thinking of a way to change the world that I move through
I feel like Nikola, what I invent is what I'm true to
I feel for Nikola with these ideas that I grew through
I know that when they see a brilliant mind they'll just abuse you
It’s hard to see what’s real some nights I'm scared that I’m delusional
I'm scared that I'm more like Nikola than I'd ever collude to
I’m scared of what can happen when ideas will consume you 'Cause there isn't room for peace I can achieve.
[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' ya
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
[Verse 3: Merlyn Wood]
Stay rough, get buff, get out, hey boy
Stay rough, get buff, get out
The monsters swarm around with them toys
The monsters swarm around with them toys
Hey boy, stay rough, get buff, get out
Hey boy, stay rough, get buff, get out
The monsters swarm around with them toys
The monsters swarm around with them toys
[Verse 4: Joba]
Don't mind me I'm just killin' time (you can pick me to pieces)
But if you got a lifeline, throw it, throw it
Don't mind me I'm just killin' time (you can pick me to pieces)
But if you got a lifeline, throw it, throw it
[Verse 5: bearface]
Why the fuck would you share this shit with these people
I don't know these people
I don't know you either no more
I'm at war with myself
Every time I see this shit I wanna kill myself
And they coming for my mother sending bullets for my head
And they foolin' me, nah, but I'd rather be dead
Please just leave me alone, I don't wanna be read
Yeah-ah.
[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' ya
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' ya
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' ya
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
I keep tellin' ya
You don't understand why I can't get up and shout
[Outro: Merlyn Wood, Matt Champion, Ashlan Grey, Jabari Manwa & Romil Hemnani]
It's the best years of our lives, motherfucker
You are now about to experience
These are the best years of our lives
I feel you.
