E-dubble - Shortcuts lyrics

[Hook] 1 time for the noise that we make 2 times for the sh** that we take Yeah it hurts, and we get scarred up We live free so they know they can't charge us 3 times for my people out there 4 times for the bruises we wear Face the future, never get tied up We stay free so they know they can't buy us [Verse 1] Shortcuts are all we ever take- We work so hard not to wait But we stay in the same place Waitin' for the day that them numbers hit Seems dumb but I guess that hope is numbing the pain - no waste when I hit sustain Let them pretty notes linger they keepin' me sane Two scoops for the kid in me Figure that the creativity Might be the only thing I use to maintain And I know I might be- just a lil' too instrospective But I'm tryna fly like the f**in' jetsons Put on my jetback Kickin' it with Elroy no rush to jet back That rush can eat sh** with Limbaugh I'm tryna slow down but my world's a pinball And I am not a f**in' wizard And the who is missing My imaginary friends on a mission And I'm bout to join him, off the reservation Didn't think twice never liked hestitation -- tip of the cap, i liked your invitation With nothing good to say Not sure I'm gonna make it Take a polaroid i wish that I could shake this No stoppin' so the bottle's where we make piss Full throttle not sure my ride can take this Panels keep cracking this spaceship is makeshift [Hook] [Verse 2] Sippin' starbursts til' my heart hurts The Delorian is looking more like our hearse Throw it in reverse and go find McFly Unshaken we are J.Fox family ties --no spin to the city when we ride now And it's a casual freestyle friday put your tie down Put your boots on- and strap them sh**s up Found a new balance them f**s will never get us Runnin' like jackie joyner kersey With a kevlar jersey, they could never hurt me Too complex- they could never work me Too cold to brain freeze from slurpees Too dope to OD a dope fiend Dirt cheap, we free but stay so clean O-dog we so smart but so mean Oh lord- we stay straight but still lean On top won't come down pay no penance We walk hard our soles show dead ants Potatos and meat but we still eat lettuce Chop it all up and we top with feta Fair and balanced with the peaks and valleys We can meet the challenge but we need to rally So the caps are on, and those traps are set The 4g's in my pocket we got maps to quest [Hook]
