CARS NEED GAS

Still learning how to deal with being betrayed
Lost boy still running inside of a maze
No key, only chain, man I haven't changed
It's no wonder that you're not amazed
Anxious 'bout the future but that ain't something new here
Everybody focused on a bag not a new ear
Making beats, sell that heat for some cash, hoe
You ain't even mad, see me suffer like an asshole

I love what I do because I do what I love
Don't wanna see you come through and lie to me like the gov'
Fishers full of these fakes, I got so many that flake
That's why I'm flying outta here like a dove
Since when was it controversial to chase a dream?
I'd go in debt a million times before I face a screen
8 hours clock in clock out, clock in clock out
Clock in in in too deep
Heartbroken like a thrown controller
Manipulated me like she own the throne
But now I gotta move on from the cabinet screen
And get back to the beats
I heard the world's full of color with like 16 bits
If you find your independence you'll be hitting a lick
And even if the labels wanna silence your shit
Keep it going cause fulfillment is the end of the trip

I understand what you speak, see that was me always battling work
Like watching the industry go from Riches to dirt
Reducing its pedigree for a dollar could hurt
Now its mediocrity framed as Socrates' work
They just speak the obvious no insight on the search
All praise for accomplishments but with failure you learn
I start to make note of this and the product gave birth
Turned a boy into a monster with the pen I disturb
But the hours I had to give weren't as easy as earned
I was losing relationships and some sleep in return
Worried about paying rent couldn't get any worse
But determined to see the end so you go till it hurts, sing

My last girl left cause she couldn't handle me having fans
And now I'm numb to the emotion, looking for a new plan
I need to stop stumbling into commitment
The only thing tied to my heart is equipment (damn)
We on a main quest for belonging
And the path is never clear, we don't know if we're walking
In directions that inspire or deter us
And we encounter new people who gon' tear us
Into teams like trauma, now we all focused on the commas
Get your money up good karma
I wanna live life like a healthy sim
So if I make it to the city I'll be helping him
Right now I'm helping her, hop on a track and a verse
I'll do anything that I can do to lift up the curse
Cause there ain't nobody here except Saber
I keep it a buck cause I'm saving these shark cards for later
