about
2024 Self-Conscious
lyrics
“Man, I see in ***** ****, the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandering. God dammit, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate, so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of the history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War, no Great Depression. Our Great War is a spiritual war. Our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that, one day, we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.”
Life is like
Takin' trips to the record store
We gaze and sift, but never sure what we checkin' for
And pray we excavate a gem, since the pressure's on
The game is rigged; still play to win, until the seconds gone
But never get the ball
Butt keep the benches warm
Check the score
Drained and finished wit’, you give it in; accept the loss
Pain is imminent; you wish you fit and better formed
I just pour my heart and press record
And my umbrella strong
Through rain and wind, we try and weather storms
But this a tropical depression, dog
It paint a picture of me dead in morgue
He wann' put me on the canvas, but my weapon drawn
And bitch I set it off
I'm just a nerd who's clever wit' verbs and letters
In the compound, puttin' words together
Merge whatever the terms for the perfect rhetoric
Never heard it better than
His verse or sentiments
The hearses, sent 'em in
‘Cause I murk like blur to Earth’s surface blendin’ in
Get church and reverend...
