lyrics

No, no, I don't know
No, no, you don't know
No, no, we don't know
But we gotta push on, yeah we gotta gotta go, oh
I guess I best start at the beginning
But I got the whole world spinning
And where it stops I don't know but we're in the last inning
And the bases are loaded, the lyrics are coded
You can try to break it down cause the source is open
And I'm just hopin' for a moment of clarity
"There he goes again, searching for some charity"
You just don't understand the severity of the situation
I got my own car, moved out, and the world's still hatin'
Two jobs I work, sometimes I forget I need to eat
But I push on all the same so I don't lose the beat
I'm spittin' rhymes all the time, it's like nothings changed
It just got a little hectic, all the thoughts are re-arranged
And some people like to tell me that NOW I've done it
I pay to go to sleep under my roof, that's the summit
Get your priorities straight, because let me tell you this
We all don't know what the hell prosperity is
No, no, I don't know
No, no, you don't know
No, no, we don't know
But we gotta push on, yeah we gotta gotta go, oh
I used to have time and used to have money
Now I use all my time just to break even, it's kinda funny
In a "Help me, I need help!" kind of way
You can spare change or two cents, either way will make my day
Because your opinion is valuable, I can apply it to my music
I'm trying to stay sharp, I'm trying not to lose it
Try to fuse it to my routine, but it just doesn't seem to stick
The atrophy of my abilities are starting to make me sick
So tell me this, I dropped an album that people could relate to
You may not have liked it but you've gotta respect that they do
And I did it on my own time, put in a lot of heart
But it wasn't until now that I did something smart?
Creative endeavors get overshadowed by the majority
"Fall in line!" they won't be impressed by my priorities
They said it would be hard, I still think life's easy
The world is going to have to step it up to please me
No, no, I don't know
No, no, you don't know
No, no, we don't know
But we gotta push on, yeah we gotta gotta go, oh
I wrote the rest of this song months in advance
Now I'm finishing it up by reinstating my stance
Not too much has changed, I settled into new routines
I don't understand the ladder, detrimental as it seems
Moving into the "real world," I guess they call this victory
It just doesn't feel like some sort of huge step to me
We're skewed as a society, focused on these traditions
And I'm not saying don't move out, I'm saying this is not the limit
We can go so much further, we should seek so much more
Accomplish everything should we walk out the door
Survey the horizon for a limit to break through
Scoff when they offer one and readily take two
What's at stake? You can do this, and so can we
Victorious straight away, no Plan B
So we may have no idea, reinventing everything
The outlook of society is ever faster crumbling
