Today vs. Tomorrow

Wassup, LOWWKI?
BLAQKNOIZ
Ya-ow
I ain't try'na kill myself today
Worrying 'bout tomorrow
No-oh

The leading cause of death is being alive
Only piece I'm finding is the peace in the rhymes
Pleading into servitude for a menial crime (what?)
Only piece they hide is our keep of the dimes
Now we evil to chime, in with an opinion
We should stay in our lane, obey our dominions
Fall prey to the times, cosplaying as minions (banana!)
Men succumb to the pain, and forget how to listen
So focused on duties, such slaves to the pressure
So focused on beauty, depraved and unpleasured
Hock a fucking loogie on the face of your leisure
It's the facts of the rat race, they turn you to leather!
I don't wanna live my life by others' expectations
I don't want your strife, I don't want your indignation
I won't apologize, I won't break to this nation
What is it, but suicide, to not seek your elation?

You have a thought, it's a thought that's negative
You know that from that negative thought
You might say something negative or do something negative
And you might have to, at first, say, OK
Perish The Thought!
Don't think that thought, and you can push that thought out of your mind
Think about something else, uhhh

I ain't try'na kill myself today, worrying bout tomorrow!
I ain't try'na seal myself away, but I ain't one to follow!
I ain't try'na heal myself this way, drowning in my sorrow!
I ain't try'na kill myself today, worrying bout tomorrow!
'Morrow!

I ain't try'na kill myself worrying bout tomorrow
There's only so much freedom in a system I must follow
They acting like it's Eden for this money that I borrowed
Laughing while I'm eating, then I smoke away my sorrow
Want the praise, told this was the way, and I believed it
Just for pay, even if there's no play, I'm staying seated
Lost in maze, cow with the graze, I'm heated
Recorded rage off the minimum wage, then I delete it
I'm sick of running away, so I'm gone face it
I was in the thick, wasting away, but couldn't place it
Burnt by rays, then left in stasis for the glossy finish
With every new age, more hip to my lineages
So please be patient with me
I'm a late bloomer but I'm still gon' be a tree
I woulda told you sooner, but I had to pay the fee
Why worry bout my future when I never just be?

You know, that's, uh...
That's actually a decent question
Like, what the fuck am I doing, killing myself today, for tomorrow?
When tomorrow ain't here yet?

I ain't try'na kill myself today, worrying bout tomorrow!
I ain't try'na seal myself away, but I ain't one to follow!
I ain't try'na heal myself this way, drowning in my sorrow!
I ain't try'na kill myself today, worrying bout tomorrow!

You can keep your thoughts pure
You can keep from thinking the bad thing that's going to make you
Make the bad speech or the bad action
Something I'm not perfect at, it's, y'know
I'm learning everyday, every-, we all learn every day
And we all learn to interact with eachother better
And do better
