Own Appeal - Oddisee.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Amir Mohamed
[00:39.222] I never asked to be born, and death's no question
[00:41.747] The sun's still shining off the same old lessons
[00:44.172] Then why does life feel like an educated guess and
[00:46.490] My thoughts are like meals I'm a sucker for the seconds
[00:49.170] Impressions got a lot of us stressing, but how we are perceived is more about a reflection
[00:54.300] The reception warm that I receive
[00:56.428] Which leads to believe these hoes like what I heave
[00:58.697] Tall women in heels, tour money and deals
[01:01.379] Off the no bull I like all money for real
[01:03.850] More time aboard and less time at home
[01:05.950] Less time for broads and more time in zones
[01:08.000] Yeah, I'm in it while flying out of another one
[01:10.930] This is a new beginning, I'm climbing out of the other one
[01:13.790] The dream feel real'er than it ever been
[01:16.144] And I was aiming high like a ***** being president
[01:18.443] The possibilities of that are seeming pretty evident
[01:20.718] So being self employed is not seeming like a definite
[01:23.720] But staying that way is what I'm F'ing with
[01:26.100] And like minded people are the only ones I'm messing with
[01:29.485] This so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still
[01:32.770] Living in the moment got a hopeless feel but the feeling in itself got it's own appeal
[01:37.680] But I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
[01:40.392] The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
[01:42.667] Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
[01:45.139] Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be alright
[01:48.270] I'm trying to get mine in this life time
[01:50.500] The after life is much further in pipeline
[01:52.850] I'm in inclined to believe that but truth is, that for death, any moment is the right time
[01:57.600] So I live like everyday is my last
[01:59.800] But I plan for tomorrow as if I will never pass
[02:02.630] A Pharoah on the subway
[02:03.827] Who never had dreams of jets but fell asleep on run ways
[02:06.271] I just know that one day, that anything I needed I could mold
[02:09.800] Get everything you want it ain't always good for the soul
[02:12.253] A mix of self worth, some help, a little control
[02:14.800] And I don't know the rest, good as mine is your guess
[02:16.800] The recipe ain't the best, to make it though is our quest
[02:19.544] And if you choose to accept, the meaning of life is yes
[02:23.500] Cause only God knows, those of us in the flesh, get the privilege of test
[02:27.200] Some will fail and some will pass
[02:28.700] We all get the same grade though when we run the path
[02:31.170] But how you grade your self is the mark that will matter most
[02:33.500] To separate the heart of the strong and the battered folks
[02:35.800] Have a dose
[02:38.000] This so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still
[02:41.200] Living in the moment got a hopeless feel but the feeling in itself got it's own appeal
[02:46.200] But I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
[02:48.700] The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
[02:51.358] Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
[02:54.000] Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be alright
[02:57.000] Ayo, **** so real, I kill **** to live *****, schizo feel
[03:01.169] I got a hunger for knowledge and I miss no meals
[03:03.464] I stay high off life and I miss no pills
[03:06.330] I'm addicted to thrill of walking along the edge
[03:08.624] Not knowing what lays ahead but always knowing the deal
[03:11.199] I'm good with my decisions, the set backs and gains
[03:13.531] Is all apart of the game, I'm ready to spin the wheel
[03:16.000] What ever is in store, I'm ready for, for sure
[03:18.489] The attitude of wealth with the gratitude of the poor
[03:20.965] The balance is the challenge and I sit so still
[03:23.367] Between callus and analysis but this no frills
[03:25.642] I'm off the chain, been that way since slaves to Flav
[03:28.215] From 93 till infinity I'm slated in ways
[03:30.502] That's etched in stone
[03:31.200] The age where we market out selves
[03:33.026] I'm still all about the music I don't monitor plays
[03:35.661] I don't monitor hits and I don't monitor clicks
[03:37.997] I monitor the snare drum and the bottom of kicks
[03:40.612] Is anybody left that still **** with this true ****
[03:42.600] Well let me hear you scream over top of this CRU ****
[03:46.500] This so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still
[03:50.212] Living in the moment got a hopeless feel but the feeling in itself got it's own appeal
[03:54.900] But I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
[03:57.643] The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
[04:00.225] Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
[04:02.494] Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be alright
