Artist: Oddisee Album: The Beauty In All Song: Own Appeal Typed by: @Oddisee Then why does life feel like an educated guess & My thoughts are like meals I'm a sucker for seconds impressions got allot of us stressing but how we are perceived is more about a reflection & the reception warm that I receive which leads to believe these hoes like what I heave Tall women in heels, tour money & deals off the no bull I like all money for real more time aboard & less time at home less time for broads & more time in zones yeah, I'm in it while flying out of another one This is a new beginning, I'm climbing out of the other one The dream feel real'er than it ever been & I was aiming high like a nigga being president the possibilities of that are pretty evident so being self employed is not seeming like a definite But staying that way is what I'm F'ing & like minded people are the only ones I'm messing with I'm trying to get mine in this life time the after life is much further in pipeline I'm in inclined to believe that but truth is, that for death any moment is the right time so I live like everyday is my last but I plan for tomorrow as if I will never pass A Pharoah on the subway who never had dreams of jets but fell asleep on run ways I just know that one day, that anything I needed I could mold get everything you want it ain't always good for the soul a mix of self worth, some help, a little control & I don't know the rest, good as mine is your guess the recipe ain't the best, to make it though is our quest & if you choose to except, the meaning of life is yes cause only god knows, those of us in the flesh, get the privilege of test some will fail & some will pass we all get the same grade though when we run the path but how you grade your self is the mark that will matter most to separate the heart of the strong & the battered folks have a dose Shit so real, I kill shit to live nigga, schizo feel I got a hunger for knowledge & I miss no meals I stay high off life & I miss no pills I'm addicted to thrill of walking along the edge not knowing what lies ahead but always knowing the deal I'm good with my decisions, the set backs & gains is all a part of the game, I'm ready to spin the wheel what ever is in store, I'm ready for, for sure the attitude of wealth with the gratitude of the poor the balance is the challenge & I sit so still between callous & analysis but this no frills I'm off the chain, been that way since slaves to flav from 93 till infinity I'm slated in ways that's etched in stone the age where we market out selves I'm still all about the music I don't monitor plays I don't monitor hits & I don't monitor clicks I monitor the snare drum & the bottom of kicks is anybody left that still fuck with this true shit well let me hear you scream over top of this CRU shit This so real, not knowing what's ahead but i'ma go there still living in the moment got a hopeless feel but the feeling in itself got it's own appeal but I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance the closer that I get & the brighter my wish gets excited by the risk & the chances taken not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'ma alright
