whatever's clever

They knew me
Outgrew me
Now I see, they drew me in
To chew me up and spit me out
I knew enough to get stuck up in their teeth
Still living in your mouth
And it sounds to me
Like you're swimming in doubt
I preach to the choir as a liar
To ice as fire, though I'm tired
I never let it show
Everything in time, I'mma let it go
I'mma let them know what it's like to grow
Don't forget it though, yo

It's a heavy blow, a measured low
The regular Joe knows its all a show
With a plot that plateaus
And a lot more to sow
Than there ever is to reap
Lost in the snow
caught forever in repeat
Like, isn't it sweet?
Aren't we living the dream?
It would seem! 'cause the plot's
Filled with holes we don't acknowledge
All the characters keep changing
And I'm barely retaining knowledge
You ask me what is all this?
And often with a balled fist
Honestly, though
I'm just trying to finish college

But it's all just a project
Wish I could be balling
But it's all just an object
And I object to that lifestyle
With power comes pressure
Pressure makes diamonds
I'm proud to be lesser
An occasional loudmouth
I vow to do better
But now's not the time
So I try to stay clever
It's like, whatever
Whatever
Whatever's clever
Whatever
