Pharrell Williams - Cloud City lyrics

[Verse 1] Karma came and went And so did my alarm, so I stayed in and slept A waste a day just to evade regret Cuz Ima parade of displayed missteps My mind works overtime To remind me to have some patience But procrastination is inherent to my generation Some clarification the American nation Is taping your conversations Especially the one's you had up in your basement Where you conspired to get baked with A bag of lay chip's and some natty boh's Like its product placement I'm out of place but still the most complacent My admiration for imagination Has been fading since my last sedation And after graduation I traded aspirations For instant gratification [HOOK] But if you take your love away from me I'll go crazy, i'll go insane [Verse 2] And I only trust a few in my school of friends Cuz to Mr.zimmerman I'm just hooligan And our president is black Guess we got fooled again Half of em' is arguing about who goin' to win They don't know when they kids is getting food again So f** a bank, f** a teller, f** a penitentiary Naughty by nature with my treachery They got kids making symphonies And we can't think collectively So Introspectively I intercept trajectories With telepathy I k** my enemies And since my infancy and adolescence I've had a Audible essence in frequency and presence But the question is never the fluorescence But why human beings and machines have planned obsolescence I'm out of lessons I used to be a non contestant But with so much time invested Might as well give em that desired perfection And I'm wired for blessings Raised on a stage where the fire is deafening and The tired are restless So tired and restless Late night and quiet on the old frontier Cloud City Cuz you can see the whole world from here.... [HOOK]
