A Dollar $hort
I got a story to tell
Hope it ages well
Just like I have since the day it fell
A revelation
Advancing the mind with latent tales
And I'd tell more if they could sell
Awoken from my dream
Let me paint the scene
Hopped in the shower, mirror stained with steam
The clock reads 2:23am
I see a face and who could it be?
Had to come nearer, see the picture clearer
A fair warning, this where it gets weirder
I look close, real close and it's me
I mean that's what a mirror do
but there's more to see
Every time I blinked I never made a wink
It was like a reflection that ain't in sync
This I promise you, it made me think
'Am I angry? I can't be
I just came from sleep'
Tried to wash my startled face in the sink
Maybe I'm cranky, maybe I'm hallucinating
Cause I know lately, I been losing patience
When's the last time I ate?
I been losing weight since
Credit it to lost sleep
Pay it no mind and floss teeth
To my surprise, I seen me copy
Mike Jack over here showing no signs of stopping
I kept going 'til blood started dropping
Now my jacket red
I can't go back to bed in this
Next morning, man momma be pissed
I slept in my clothes, and I made a extra load?
Those are no go's, I know they won't mix
Still my teeth clean at the cost of my gums
It's like in life, I always got to sacrifice sum
Cause I work so hard that it hurts me
Next I'd probably brush the buds off my tongue
Connect the dots
See the irony, the truth
He did all that work for something that he never used
Got a clean mouth, a shine on every tooth
I get the message, finally ain't confused
I can't even please myself, much less anybody else
I'm my own worst enemy
Can anybody help?
Now I know the inner me can hinder me
And be a key detriment to my health
Cause at the end of the day, I'll throw it away
"It still ain't good enough", I know what I'd say
A perfectionist, just stuck in my ways
And everything I sacrificed
End up going to waste
But tough love makes me better like all support
Through your eyes, I'm always falling short
What can I say, what can I do?
That's just the cost of war
Tried to pay my dues
Came up a dollar short
Hope it ages well
Just like I have since the day it fell
A revelation
Advancing the mind with latent tales
And I'd tell more if they could sell
Awoken from my dream
Let me paint the scene
Hopped in the shower, mirror stained with steam
The clock reads 2:23am
I see a face and who could it be?
Had to come nearer, see the picture clearer
A fair warning, this where it gets weirder
