lyrics

There's a place
where I hold
what I feel is me
Sometimes I let him out to play
Sometimes to eat
I told him that he had to play nice
Don't be Ralph Fiennes
in Harry Potter
I tried to speak
To snakes too but they bite my feet
It might just be
that there are two people
inside of me
One finds the minor league tiring
Playing finders keepers with
my niceties
The other is less moody
He's a "nice" emcee
but never likes the beats

Yeah he's the kind of emcee
My mom would like me like to be
But that shit gets boring
Yes I want to show you when it's snowy
It's cold and the windchill is so low
they cancelled class
I can't walk past
your dancin' ass
My point is simply that these assholes
do not grasp the facts
My ass is bad
A badass yeah
But I still got love for like everything
And I'm married to the music
You can check out the wedding ring
So that shit gets the best of me
Like I just wanna change the world
Like I just wanna sound cool tell it like it is
spread knowledge and raise a baby girl

And someday I will
but today I kill
Yesterday I chilled
Too much
Now today is here
And the way is clear
So why do I feel stuck?
Never was able to fold a map
Never was able to hold it back
Never was able to show much class
My phone's gonna die can I phone ya back?
Never was Cain either though
so please don't go
I'm not a killer
I am the one who sees ya
I AM my brother's keeper
I am the touch of ether
That puts you to sleep
for the surgeon
I am the headline on the paper
the day the world ends
