Lately

Maybe I'm just being pessimistic
but the world looks exhausted
I'm feeling exhausted
I think the exhaust in my car is gonna shit the bed today

I miss Tony's cigarette smoke never thought that I would say, but lately I been

Fiending for pleasure
Exceedingly clever
Leading these lectures
Dipping into the station to beat the weather
Sipping Dr. Pepper
Left my umbrella
The subway a stressor
But somehow the trip to Woodside just makes me feel better

Lately I've been cooking out of necessity
Hit the corner store buy the cheddar cheese
The block cheaper then the shredded cheese
The block never gonna let me be
Trade the Minivan for the suv
Listen god said it was meant to be
Play the piano part add the melody
Man I really wish we had Central heat
I'm gone

Flip him off like a Motorola razor
I gotta cook dinner and God knows it'll prolly be later
The city ain't doing no favors
I wanna Walt(z) like I'm Frazier
3/4 what I'm writing on paper
These the stories from the mother that raised you

920 Riverside Drive apartment 52
My pretty eyes ain't the only thing bout me that's blue
Arguing with me bout what's a "G" if only Sammy knew
We was talking about music I wonder if he'll love it too

Morning hike to Harlem Renaissance told you
Heckler been screaming antisocial
Took a trip with the students they was older
Remy and Tyrone was ready to fold him

Game, set, match, bout to cause a racket
Lesson plans the only thing I'm packing
Three bags, son in the stroller, my daughter that it?
Too tired to cook, but Malicons smacking

Ryan Braun way we strolling through the park
Two of me should've been on Noah's ark
God parents yeah I should check in with Mark
Why color in the lines?

Baby show your art baby show your face
Why have a car when you can take train
New metro card No parking space
They small enough won't have to pay

Lately I been

Fiending for pleasure
Exceedingly clever
The weather whatever zip my jacket over my sweater
Yes your father must be in Denver the way he mile high
Something bout those kind eyes when he smiles I feel warm inside

Lately I been
