[Verse 1]
On my mind when I wake up
(Things) all my time try to take up
If I could save up money like worry
I'd be a rich man but sorrow would plague much
I done made up the fiction
That I'm a centre of a system causing the day rust
Center stage and a monologue play of
Me in the audience, all in my make up
What a view when it's all for the show
Assuming that I'm doing what you already know
I think I'm in the middle of a palm heavy globe
Everybody trying to steal what I already own
But oh in this life we are all but alone
The feeling that you are is a problem condoned
Just sunlight hit the spotlight that we hold
Like it's one light that we cuff tight 'til it's gone
One candle on the cake, trying to take it
Souls set sail on the race trying to take wind
We are all faves in the chips that we placing
Better build self, anybody else cave in
So I'm holding onto pressure like it's all mine
That ain't sweat, it's just the way I keep the floor shined
Everybody queued up in the long grind
Thinking that we next in the short line
