Song Sampled: "Fingerprints" - Hiatus Kaiyote
Lyrics:
We get older, avoiding the elephant
Feel weak each week, take more forms of medicine
New year, hurt joints, turmeric for inflammation
Smoke the first joint, cannabis for inhibition
This condition, from under us we pull the rug
Inner denizens and demons with whom we rule amongst
We all labeled as sinners, good deeds made null defunct
Drank juice boxes, now Vodka and some punch
Loose toxins, you oughta pass another blunt
That feeling in the gut is more than just a crazy hunch
Been put into more boxes than even than the Brady Bunch
Identified fingerprints
An innocence that be lost ever since
In a sense we're animals for outcomes
For income within this system, but how come?
When we first learned to lived without some
No need for treatment, just ibuprofen
Cause when things get heated, that's how I be coping
Just reactions, no solutions of preventive
As inaction quashes revolutions with a sedative
Paint a picture of a dream that's not ours
Like a legal weed shop that be guarded by cop cars
We heed the song of sirens, but still run toward false stars
I won't be alright
Unless I'm
Way up high
I can't sleep without the NyQuil, every lesson a new light bulb
Life be testing this insomnia stricken psycho
Workers building for the final, the bad and bougee over titles
Ride the wave or be washed up in higher tidals (titles)
Younger with a hunger to confront the elephant
Stronger than exploiters, give a dose of their own medicine
Turning all the hurt to agitated inflammation
Burn it down, usurp, better erase your inhibitions
Treatment for the sickness, better join or you'll be missing
