I've been called a hipster and a hypocrite
Pretending that I'm killing it
But now quite literally I'm bringing iller shit
Because I've been sick for the better part of winter
But now I'm feeling good
Eating sushi for dinner
I'm a winner
That's what mama said
Come quicker
But not from getting head
I feel dead when I'm not inspired
I feel tired
Standing next to Ross feeling like I'm from The Shire
I used to hate the sound of the choir
I used to make tapes from the station of fire
I used to wear a cape and pretend that I could fly
I used to smoke bowls and pretend that I was high
That's life
That's life
Since then I've learned how to do a lot
Getting down on a cloud
Waiting till I drop
Singing loud to a crowd
Oh that shit is hot
Turning frowns into songs mentioning my pops
Now my eyes are red
Deprived of rest
Looking for substance
Looking for next
Looking for a reason to wanna be the best
But I haven't quite found one yet
Found truth in a makeshift booth
Found beauty in a crooked tooth
Found liquor in a Crooked Tree
Listened to the beat and I
Found me
Found who?
Found you
Found swag
Who knew?
Found pop
Found blues
Still haven't found a silver spoon
