Lyrics

I said the world outside been too much for my mind to take
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
I don't turn on that news 'cause I know how much my heart will break
(Oh no, oh no, oh-oh)
I get high to escape, my mind loves to race
The smoke is all that's slowin' me down (Me down)
I get high to escape, my mind loves to race
The smoke is all that's slowin' me down
(Down, down, down, down)
Can't trust one single soul, government got strange MO
Watch funds sent overseas, poverty still here back home
Backpacks made to deflect that chrome
News repeats like around we go
Few retweets for a few lost souls
See the world get mean when the green won't flow
Red, blue, just another ploy for division
Game, set, match, they attack with precision
Semantics driven, camouflage true villains
See the kings straight chillin' 'cause the wedge is a gimmick
That's the way you oil the machine
Makin' sure the line stay in between
Play with morals, leverage deepest values
Lesson one in ruling, that's a how-to
I don't know how to stop this nightmare from repeatin'
Every day it feels like hope is slippin' away
I said the world outside been too much for my mind to take
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
I don't turn on that news 'cause I know how much my heart will break
(Oh no, oh no, oh-oh)
I get high to escape, my mind loves to race
The smoke is all that's slowin' me down (Me down)
I get high to escape, my mind loves to race
The smoke is all that's slowin' me down
(Down, down, down, down)
Ayy, ayy
I'm a basement dweller
Might as well just call me Hellen Keller
Why? I don't wanna see or hear
Everybody that I know seem to disappear
Seem like good things end but the bad things don't
Good men die but the bad man won't
Never felt this helpless, oh no, no
Is there a better way that I can cope?
'Cause I can't work up the nerve to face the facts
Look, another train is off the tracks
Money's losin' value awfully fast
I can never sit back and relax
It's a never-endin' struggle so it seems
Weight that's on my shoulders crushes me
How much do I need to beg and plead?
'Cause I could really use some room to breathe
And I don't know how to stop this nightmare from repeatin'
And every day it feels like hope is slippin' away
I said the world outside been too much for my mind to take
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
I don't turn on that news 'cause I know how much my heart will break
(Oh no, oh no, oh-oh)
I get high to escape, my mind loves to race
The smoke is all that's slowin' me down (Me down)
I get high to escape, my mind loves to race
The smoke is all that's slowin' me down
(Down, down, down, down)
Most gon' feel that flow (That flow)
Most gon' feel that beat (That beat)
Most gon' dip their toes in (Toes in)
Most won't dive that deep (Uh-uh)
Most won't make no change (No way)
Most gon' stay asleep (Wake up)
Most gon' think that a change gonna come from a song or a post or a tweet
