Scenic Route (Deejay Irie Version)
I'm bad at dealing with feelings when they ain't (rational)
But now I'm asking, yo, (where did all the passion go?)
It's quite a challenge to try and see it clearer
Trying to find a balance as I'm looking (in the mirror)
But what's the point of (running) from
Your problems if you're (one) of them?
Chasing a bag, once you get it, there's another (one)
I ain't lying, I'm just stating (the facts)
Success is but a moment before it fades into (black)
And I'd hate it if I would never get to see you again
Same time I'm scared you'll tell me just to leave it again
Write a message, delete it again
Tried to (break it down) like a (science), but it ain't as exact
She got me high like a fire in a dispensary
I admired her energy, this girl's a (gift and a curse)
Some numbed it with drugs, man, I just did it with work
Now I'm sitting on this (park bench), trying to finish this verse
(No reason or rhyme)
I'm just trying to get d'evils out
(No reason or rhyme)
On my pursuit of happiness, I took the scenic route
(Let the demons out)
(Let the demons out)
(The demons out)
On my pursuit of happiness, I took the scenic route
And I know it gets easier over (time)
But it's (hard) to fucking deal when there ain't no reason or (rhyme)
And seeing as I'm a hopeless (fucking romantic)
I'ma keep it in mind while I'm feeling broken and frantic
(One) beat at a time, (one) season a moment
Earn a scar per DM while I'm seizing the moment
Don't want to see her, (don't know how to behave)
And stop trying to save her when (she don't wanna be saved)
I remember you put my hand on your chest, and
Now I'm really nervous to even ask you a (question)?
Writing verses, never learning my (lesson)?
Obsessive behavior, never serving my best interest
This girl's a (curse) and a blessing
I knew her on the surface, fell in love with her empathy
She got me (high) like a fire in a dispensary
I admired her energy
And now she wants to be friends with me?
(No reason or rhyme)
I'm just trying to get d'evils out
(No reason or rhyme)
On my pursuit of happiness, I took the scenic route
(Let the demons out)
(With a passion)
(The demons out)
I'm just trying to get d'evils out
(Let the demons out)
(With a passion)
(The demons out)
On my pursuit of happiness, I took the scenic route
But now I'm asking, yo, (where did all the passion go?)
It's quite a challenge to try and see it clearer
