Speak - The Rose Parade lyrics

[Verse 1] Waking up somewhere in Ladera, next to a girl with smeared mascara Her looks say "groupie" first name Sarah, another victim of the Art Goon Era Holy f**...what am I becoming? Mama said I need to go and do something stunning With my life, instead I seat here soaking by the fireplace Breaking down weed trying to find a higher place Addicted to p**no in cyber space Eternal sunshine 'round tight mind erase God damn sometimes I be forgettin, every lesson learned in the college room setting I didn't make the grade so I didn't give a damn Intelligent but lazy, they couldn't understand What it's like to be better than everyone you know, or what it's like to make a few f**ing racks of a show Pockets on swole, ego on overload Drugs all around and pray I don't overdose But if Ido i'll leave a beautiful corpse, bury me in my tux with a carton of 'ports [Hook] Life ain't nothing but a rose parade Everything that we see artificially made And we all line up to take a look at the floats But why the f** would I want to stay behind this rope? nope [Verse 2] Daddy was right, I never do listen but the blind old c*nt couldn't really see my vision Credit score low when I never held the job down Snacking on xany bars just so I could calm down My friends question why I'm so off-beat Or why I choose to write my name in wet concrete Dreamers sit back all day and romanticize Doers f** girls get gwop then they vandalize Burn it all down, pissing on the ashes, and watch her deepthroat for some backstage pa**es God damn, is that how mama raised you? Or is everything I do, just amaze you? f** paid dues, I'm too punk son I rather f** a white girl with a trust fund And blow her dough instead of spending mine, one of a kind Young Rap God with a shrine, yeeh Ricardo! Get the goddamn hovercraft...the who*es are after our money again... [Hook]
