Sidelines

Gotta loosen my grip on the world Squeeze too tight fingers are curled Want more than I may deserve Dreams of subliminal words Lady Luck don't pin it on her Yeah I'm uptight expect nothing more One foot outside of the door Always plotting and my rhymes rocking And I smile but I'm flipping the bird Faking joy has got me concerned Used to have it, but what happened now? Motivation blurry, feel self pity Tappin' my phone feel like sleeping til 10AM Double espresso and sit my arse down Raise the bar, plough, now it's half twelve To the park now, with a dumbell Rest, blue sky, sit for a while Gotta make it right, change my life Bought a Bible, try to meditate Cos my brainpowers going renegade Gotta loosen my grip on the world Why aren't they returning my calls Hypertext transfer protocol Messaging passively never meet physically Sick and tired of the shit in the world Irritating and keeping me down Popped a pill, yeah, what happens now? Numbing for hours and superpowers But I don't wanna fuck up and build a dependency Not like the others, I see a path out Top players don't dope games out On the bench now, pour my heart out Been on the sidelines, from the sidelines From on the sidelines, from the sidelines Sit on the sidelines, on the sidelines Til I know I'm right Daybreak I tap the phone Thirty unread, time has flown Gotta get back in the zone Last night seems overblown Take a shower, Boss, new cologne Take a drink, Voss, chug it down Won't stop me now All the trouble won't stop me now Take a tablet of D and B 1,2,3 shot caffeine Bullet time, no stopping me Hit a shot of G&T And the pain of life disappears There's a day without any fears I can feign a smile in the mirror Knowing that my real problem's Between my ears Then one night, turning upside down My life aching heart I wait a minute cos I thought I had it Under my control but now I got admit I'm asking Oooh whyyy Oooh whyyy Oooh whyyy Oooh whyyy Why you spill blood, why you take lives Why'd you build me, up just to paralyze Cos you heal pain, then you amplify it Every hill pales to the mountainside Asking Oooh whyyy Oooh whyyy Oooh whyyy Oooh whyyy Is it all in my head? Are you there in my life? Give me a sign, are you here in disguise? Here on the sidelines, on the sidelines On the sidelines, on the sidelines Hands on my head and the sides of my heart Bargain with God and my wording is smart On the sidelines, from the sidelines Sit on the sidelines, from the side- Cutting me down and destroying my pride Where are you now are you hearing my lines? There on the sidelines, from the sidelines From the sidelines, from the sidelines Maybe you know when I'm telling a lie Maybe you'll open a hole in the sky Give a high sign from the sidelines Sit on the sidelines Talking to heaven take me to the sky Lighting the way and I'm lighting a fire Never to give up on the ride Never to know if I qualify Maybe there's hope of redeeming my soul Heavens'll open and swallow me whole Still on the sidelines, on the sidelines On the sidelines, on the sidelines Hand on my head and the sides of my heart Bargain with God and my wording is smart Never hear back Was the time right? Was the time right? Was the time right? Was the time right? Was the time right? Was the time right? Was the time right? Ooh, Lord, yeah, trouble so hard Ooh, Lord, yeah, trouble so hard Don't nobody know my troubles but God Don't nobody know my troubles but God Ooh, Lord, yeah, trouble so hard Ooh, Lord, yeah, trouble so hard Don't nobody know my troubles but God Don't nobody know my troubles but God Ooh, Lord, yeah, trouble so hard Ooh, Lord, yeah, trouble so hard Don't nobody know my troubles but God Don't nobody know my troubles but God Ooh, Lord, yeah, trouble so hard Ooh, Lord, yeah, trouble so hard Don't nobody know my troubles but God Don't nobody know my troubles but God
