Woe is We

Ah, ah
Here's the gist of me
Every line I supply the page is a sign to go
Find your way into history
Let your tale tipple the scale
Balance? That isn't for sale
Gotta go get it yourself
That's how it's meant to be

Ayy, yo
Everyone here's on timer
But they wanna watch the next man's
Wrist like it don't tick like my one
I'd rather live from shift to shift than sit in the mix out
Seeking a fix
With them man who think that 'cause we exist that Schrödinger
Missed when he said that this box feels lighter (Swear?)
I do not rock with liars (Swear?)
You think your pants are fire (Yeah?)
What does he mean? What does he mean?
How do we leave the Shire?
Fruit been forced ripe, cursed with foresight
Torchlight what you see is not what you know
So without belief there's nowhere to go (Go)

Yeah, we're underneath
Open doors, cut the keys
No one knows their lines until it's time for
Them to roll the scene
Bare a smile, show their teeth
It's been a while since I sat and stared at tile
Close my eyes and hope to see
Woe is we

Why should I care what they said? (Why?)
If it doesn't make P, it doesn't make friends
Nor is it making amends
Then why on earth would it ever make sense?
These days I've gotta say less
Let the action talk
Look for the lens or the casting call
Either you fit or you don't
It's like you're living alone
You're prone to think on the tip of your toes
It shows whenever you're low, whenever you're high
Whenever the growth is shifting the tone
Whatever you sow will be what you reap
And that the goat will be with the sheep
Where's the receipts? Where's the receipts?
You're breaching the code by seeking the growth (Growth)

Yeah, we're underneath
Open doors, cut the keys
No one knows their lines until it's time for
Them to roll the scene (Roll the scene)
Bare a smile, show their teeth
It's been a while since I sat and stared at tile
Close my eyes and hope to see
Woe is we (We)

(It's alright, I tried to tell 'em)
Woe is we
Holding close to culture we ain't close to
Vultures brought you under belt but you can't holster me
As I spring, I note the leaf
On the page is poetry I wrote for those who know relief (Know relief)
