Flowers
I been havin' bad dreams lately
When I wake they all escape me
And I pray I get home safely 'less the angels try to take me
And when I think of you I smell the scent of adoles
But demons on my shoulder like I'm havin' sleep paralysis
I spit banana clips I got that K, potassium
And in my hands a Galick Gun more like Vegeta than like Son
And to me you like the sun
I know you can't shine every day but your light radiates to me
Right through the clouds and through the rain
And your kids will probably love it when it's summer year 'round
Except for June, July and August when the buildings burn down
And in December when you start to reminisce upon the past
You'll be lookin' through the glass to see no snow, only ash
I said the system is the devil in disguise
Who payin' you a salary to sell your soul, workin' nine to five?
Who tell you to close your eyes to the world 'cause it's full of lies?
So you can't see the people 'round you slowly die
The trees been cryin', trust me I talk to 'em
The bees been dyin', soon the flowers won't bloom
The water gettin' hungry so the land it's gon' consume
And all you, all you, all you think or care about is you
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Duh, duh, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
Duh, duh, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
I see too many people dyin', but not for they beliefs
But from conditions breedin' greed and the police
I mean my homie was in school just taggin' buildings climbing trees
And everything changed in a instant when that cop told him to freeze
But I don't need to say what y'already know
Sometimes my thoughts they get so ugly they make me wanna choke
Sometimes I gotta roll down the window 'cause the breeze gimme hope
I'm sittin' drivers side, breathin' out smoke
Ridin' round inside a
Electric Range with the ghost of Fritz Lang
Through the Metropolis I see hunger and pain, and
People too busy, need you to get out the way
'Cause nothin' worse than being interrupted while you tryna get paid
I drive fifty-five oughta
Um
Yeah, that was uh
Just me stumbling over the word "hour" and saying "oughta"
But um, yeah
Should we, uh punch in from there
Or just do the second verse again? Ay
I drive 55 an hour, I don't care, I'm always late
I just like to clear my mind while I let the music play
And I love it when a motherfucker tailgate
I hope you get a good look at my license plate
But I don't blame you 'cause no one feel guilty they just feel numb
I think I'm in sentimental mood like Ellington
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun
Fuck have we done?
Can't remember those ideals we used to have when we was young
Yeah
Duh, duh, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
Duh, duh, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh, yeah
I said the system is the devil in disguise
Who payin' you a salary to sell your soul, workin' nine to five?
Who tell you to close your eyes to the world 'cause it's full of lies?
So you can't see the people 'round you slowly die
The trees been cryin', trust me I talk to 'em
The bees been dyin', soon the flowers won't bloom
The water gettin' hungry so the land it's gon' consume
And all you, all you, all you think or care about is you, yeah
