Oddisee - What You Were Lookin' For lyrics

[Oddisee] {​x4}​ I hope you find what you was looking for [Verse 1: Oddisee] I came into the city with the vision Me as my witness, list is shorter than listening Spans, iron to aim, this is no different plan Kitchen fans, working around the clock for the higher flames Sit or stand, get ahead Bet on that I wouldn't though Everyone's a star believing space is their entire gang Adopted that mind of frame Couldn't go behind the grain Would you know Jumped out that line and speeded time of thangs This a race and I ain't slow Even with declining grays Reading on my own forever being in the climbing phase This is what the shining takes Focus on the minor thangs will have you in the club When you should really be designing thangs I don't know what grinding takes I just know why I'mma make [?] Dinner plans, busy now but fine by 8:00 Making reservations for the future that ain't mine by fate Building with the pictures cause the manuals designed to break What's in store [Hook: Oddisee] {​x2}​ I hope you find what you was looking for There ain't nothing 'round here but work (yeah, yeah) I hope you find what you was looking for I just call it how I see it from first (yeah, yeah) I hope you find what you was looking for [Verse 2: Oddisee] This ain't the city where your dreams are conceived (nah) This ain't the place where you'll be fine at your pace (nah) This ain't the city where you come to breathe (nah) This is the place where you can learn from mistakes and leave Pack up that U-Haul Next to answer will never remember how did you fall Hit his bottom list and get caught in this artist stiff with a bunch of call in quits Will probably sniff the heart on your sleeve; true loss I live in the belly of the nemesis of Ishmael Where you are more likely to see December in this hill Before you beat the bell or the buzzer you'll meet your ending quick Better swift then left here to bleed, I mean I guess it is I came here to conquer and and conquer is what I did I heard the myth of monsters but those are stories for kids The city never sleeps, I mean that's a product of fear But me? I'm catching Z's like I earn a stripe with a spear I see these people hunting for something with no direction No discretion, no lessons, no motive, no loaded weapon Where ever they could get ain't worth catching, guess what they left with A whole lot of questions [Hook]
