how far we've come

Cat's out the bag, we don't have a hero
Running out of time and money, I can see roses
Falling out the sky, I'm covered head to T-oe
Eleven out the pot, left hella for the re-up

I'm out of my mind making hundred out of zero
Our last gig on the road had me open
Counting by the head, it was seven hundred people
Hollering out lines I wrote on the way over

I was on a plane from LA on a layover
Tryna find a way to explain why I stay home
That was all I had when I lost my abuelo
Crawling out the bag like a bug out the mail

I feel I could roll like a stone downhill
Step into the fog, swam on like a whale
I should get the long-barrel gun off the shelf
All of my foes get along rather well

Sat out by the water, pulled my heart out and you left
I was alive, passed the test, took a rest
Turned to find out that somebody wasn't really who they said

It's a shame how far we've come to still burn down
How far we've come to still burn down
How far we've come to still burn down (yeah)
How far we've come to still burn down (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Thought if I didn't love me, then you wouldn't either
Did too much just as a teen for me to be a preacher
Still pourin' pints over scenic to show my guys I ain't leave 'em
I'm very healthy and clean, I don't look like what I seen

I scraped the polish off
We piled it on the times that my dreams would seem implausible
Another kite in the breeze
I'm sweepin' sawbucks up and sawdust, so I cough when I breathe

Lungs of a carpenter, holes in my palms and my feet
I had the line and all the hook, just needed knowledge to feed you
Couldn't find it in the books they say they hidin' from negros
I grabbed it hiding in the nooks of all my pride in my people

I'm your shrine and your sequel
When we divide it, look how far we came
This shit a comedy, a tragedy, that alternate
A nigga play it how it go because it's all the game
Nothin', but it all has changed
Reason you find me never movin' from this spot for days
I been on this shaman thing

Sat out by the water, pulled my heart out and you left
I was alive, passed the test, took a rest
Turned to find out that somebody wasn't really who they said

It's a shame how far we've come to still burn down
How far we've come to still burn down
How far we've come to still burn down
How far we've come to still burn down

Jus as crazy as - is, you're crazier to her
I ain't crazy (you secretely are)
I said what I said, if you need me to repeat it, I will
I ain't crazy
Look at how you're looking at me, that's crazy
Go away, like, what is wrong with you?
Oh, my God, what is wrong with you?
Like, bro
Just go away, like, go
