[Intro: Chopped and Screwed]
I'm in the house party, trippin' off
My generation sippin' cough syrup, syrup like it's water
Never no pancakes in the kitchen
Man, not one of our lives is caught up
In the daily superstition that the world is 'bout to end
Who gives a f**? We never do listen
*Static*
[Verse 1: dJ Ghost]
Where do I go?
I guess nowhere
I've been pullin' my hair out
Avoiding the crosshairs
Cuz I've been living a lie
Cuz how I can I preach when I living in the opposite
Do you wanna know why?
I've been smoking, I've been drinking
I've fiendin' on these women
Made some trouble decisions
Losing hold of my mortality
A hero's biggest fear is destroying his own legacy
A hero's biggest fear is living long enough to see yourself Become the villain
But I could never die a martyr
I don't know if I've affect change
Maybe I'm a nefarious rappers stuck in the old ways
Probably corrupted my own soul for a couple hundred plays
Just a superHero that's lost his way
Lifted all the time, falling all these 808s & hoes
Pushing this audio dope through the speakers
So I can't atone for my sins
Just like you can't return a message that already sent
I just hope all these games I've played
Don't make me fade away
Unless it
[Hook 2x]
I want to love you
But something's in the way
[Verse 2: Apollo]
Recognize that I'm a part of the system
The generation of glitches
The phenomenal fissures
Society of the swishers
sh**, at least we always rolling
Hoping towards a further goal and
I been slowly getting older growing
More and more into a poet
Cause I notice that the radio
Is tryna make us slower
Cuba Gooding Jr
Dumb it down
And make us never focus
I petition for a difference
I'm just tryna get the picture
But these n***as camera lenses smearing
Can't you see the clarity
Isn't what it used to be
All the f**ing make believe
That you seeing on TV
Got me tearing at the seams
People dying everyday
But I'm supposed to be okay
And I can't ever stop a day
And I gotta go to cla**
Don't you be a minute late
And they tell me boy get your degree
Man, I swear that you'll be straight
I just wanna say my peace
And I know I got the stage
But I swear that they won't hear me
Unless I got that 808
[Hook]
[Bridge 2x]
Unless it comes with and 808
And melody and some hoes
PlayStation and some drank
Technology bought my soul
I think I've lost control
My doubts are taking hold
Like how can I be a hero
When I'm just a mere mortal
