[Intro]
Shake it off. Lord, I won`t do this song
This is a fight with myself
I wanna gain much wealth
I wanna live by myself
But I`m surrounded by..
I`ll keep that to myself
I`m so stupid
[Verse]
Well hello my little friends and look at them run
I`m still at home with no ends and look at them run
Hopping in a tricked out Benz and look at them run
While I`m clocking in as a temp look at them run
It is too late now to affect the whole world, or is it just dated now?
They could care less who invaded now
Really am I silly with the dreams of the milli`?
Top billing with a big fat record deal-ly
First I buy a house way up on the hill-ly
Then I get a girly dressed like Mr. Furley
Met her in Nashville or was it Philly?
Her hair so curly and look at me burly
But my dream deferred, I felt the same words that Langston heard
I watched them pass and it seemed absurd
A decade of dreaming
And it seeming that they just run away with my verbs
And its..
[CHORUS]
Deception. Look at them dancing in the field goal
Deception. I look at me and I`m getting old
Deception. How many records have I really sold?
Deception. Whoops I did it again boy. (2X)
[Verse]
Ten years ago I woke up with a dream in my hand
Ran for a couple of yards, but tripped and fell to my hands
And then got up because the Lord Almighty told me He can
Ran for a couple of more, and tripped and fumbled again
And people asking what you getting up for go get a job
but I gotta carry out this dream or my life I rob
And when I`m gonna work for 45 years up in the mall
And when I`m old and gray wondering where`s my calling?
And I`d rather die now than never wonder how
Never ever try now
Coulda` woulda` shoulda` will be
All I sigh how Can I live a mediocre
Life and not ever ask you why
Are we hear specifically not mundane
But a gifted people
We must shine and it must be equal
Live your life cause there is no sequel
Oh it`s a reception
[CHORUS]
[Bridge]
Hey, Hey, wait I`m called to do something
I don`t know exactly what it is but I`m hunting
Getting lost in this record biz and I`m fumbling
Oops I did it again boy
(REPEAT)
[CHORUS] (2x)
