Oddisee - Invisible Walls lyrics
Woke up with an attitude this morning f** plates, I got a buffet You work last night, I was up late And I'm Thank God for my lady Tried to ease me out of a rough day With some good love, I couldn't f** straight But um And she think it's her, I said, 'girl, it's me' I gotta world of work, that means a world to me I know you're hurt, you're not always first But I'm worth it, please Don't you ever think about deserting me Cuz we work together so imperfectly Me minus you is like minus me Cuz see, all my stress is self-inflicted Coming from the fact that I'm tryna get sh** Got no regrets, so the gift is lifted But what I got left, man, I can't depict it One hand reach while the other hand holding Got a silver linin that I'm tryna make golden I'm the alchemist, I'm just bout some sh** Steady tryna breach what's already been broken Livin life, it's insatiable, sensational, inspirational Moments to reflect, I could take a few But I don't break and snooze I just blaze it through Headlinin, man, making news as I go along with the story, too Not sure what I gotta do for invincible is the obstacle and that's true [Hook 4X] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by INVISIBLE WALLS And I tell myself that I have to Need to, got to, must do, will do, trust I got a to-do list with a still in front Yet I'm still in front, guess I'm fake behind Like Nicki's a** it ain't strictly the cash Keep finding stuff to keep me intact Cuz I race for time Ain't nothing telling me to wait but I'm Acting like people tryna take what's mine And I'm making mine what ain't really there Cuz I really care bout what people say Cuz I've seen you stare like I'm the only colored brother up in here As I ask to sit an interruption flares Fair enough, I'll sit amongst my peers See myself as a n***a bumping chairs In a cafe of people who don't want me there Yeah, the past ain't here but I'm stuck in there Climbing over a wall and, wasn't there to witness the falling So I prop it up like I'm not enough in what Martin[?] for I'm involved in Rebel, lackin a cause, or a cause lacking a rebel Perplex my complex and my nerve end is disheveled So I take a seat cuz I take what's mine and transform a date into a place in line But I pick to sign that reason[?], I shall overcome what I climb Peace [Hook 4X]
