lyrics

i spit that outdated flow - vhs format
full of static and just trying hard to stay on track
i got them dollar bin rhyme schemes - talent on a budget
beating on a dead horse - easy fuckin' does it
it's a struggle trying not to struggle
i’m feeling like a clown the way i'm always on my juggle
thinking that my hustle needs a little more focus
so maybe i could feel just a little less bogus
get on my non-stop - get full time
get on my tony hawk cheat codes - infinite grind
too much thinking - not enough action
always plan to make plans for plans that never happen
too many hopes - too many dreams
too many goals and priorities
ring the alarm all you want - you know i'm just gunna snooze it
relax is necessary but i'm starting to abuse it

i've only read two books in my life
some goosebumps bullshit and catcher in the rye
i wish i had the time to have more time for myself
it could be better for your health
i've sang this same damn song my whole life
feeling like i'm on repeat - i really wonder why
i need to find the time to crack some books on these shelves
and try to learn how to be somebody else

cuz i ain’t learned no thing that i ain’t taught myself
no, i ain’t learned no thing that i ain’t taught myself

i can’t sleep - bones are too cold
eyelids are heavy but restless is my soul
looking like a black eye - feeling like a nose job
sinking like a cannonball - boring like a bus stop
fuck a phone - i need to recharge my ambition
before i'm stuck without a pot left to piss in
feeling foreigner - i got that double vision
feeling tom cruise - impossible mission
i need a break from taking breaks
i've got to hold on - i got the alabama shakes
i've got to keep running - i've got to lose weight
i've got to work harder - i've got to concentrate
on the big picture but my big picture ain't so big
shallow change in my pockets - i’ll never have to dig
here we go again - you know i'm gunna just snooze it
relax is necessary but i'm about to fucking lose it

i'm going on a life diet before i start a fucking riot

i'm going on a life diet but best believe i'm still hungry
all that time wasted before i wish somebody could refund me
so busy staying busy - always up to something
but by trying to have it all i ended up with nothing
