[Hook]
One time for the noise that we make
Two times for the shit that we take
Yeah it hurts, and we get scarred up
Live so free that they know they can't charge us
Three times for my people out there
Four times for the bruises we wear
Face the future, never get tied up
We stay free so they know they can't buy us
[Verse 1]
Shortcuts are all we ever take
We work so hard not to wait
But we stay in the same place
Waiting for the day that them numbers hit
Seems dumb but I guess that hope is numbing the pain
No waste when I hit sustain
Let them pretty notes linger, they keeping me sane
Two scoops for the kid in me
Figure that the creativity
Might be the only thing I use to maintain
And I know I might be just a li'l too instrospective
But I'm tryna fly like the fucking Jetsons
Put on my jetback
Kicking it with Elroy, no rush to jet back
That rush can eat shit with Limbaugh
I'm tryna slow down but my world's a pinball
I am not a fucking wizard
The who is missing
My imaginary friend's on a mission
I'm 'bout to join him, off the reservation
Didn't think twice, never liked hestitation
Tip of the cap, I liked your invitation
With nothing good to say
Not sure I'm gonna make it
Take a polaroid, wish that I could shake this
No stopping, so the bottle's where we make piss
Full throttle, not sure my ride can take this
Panels keep cracking, this spaceship is makeshift
One time for the noise that we make
Two times for the shit that we take
Yeah it hurts, and we get scarred up
Live so free that they know they can't charge us
Three times for my people out there
Four times for the bruises we wear
Face the future, never get tied up
We stay free so they know they can't buy us
[Verse 1]
Shortcuts are all we ever take

Waiting for the day that them numbers hit
