Like sheep to the slaughter
Everybody's caught up tryin' to find
Something to be a part of
Livin' with our guards up all the time
Forever with a wall up
Breaking through it all never crossed the mind
The world seems'smaller
Greatness?is?withering on the?vine
Won't anybody take'the lead?
It's ourselves we love the least
Everyone seems make believe
That's the nature of the beast
Couple dollars and a dream
What did mama say, kid?
Everything you want to see
Life is what you make it
We are, we are
Going through the same thing
Going through the same shit
We are, we are
Going through the same thing
Going through the same shit
Ay, All I wanted was to be more poppin' and to see more profit
What's the detour options, ay?
I feel like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, less Denzel Washington
When people are watching me
If the right amount of likes and follows can make me less hollow
I'd somehow be more complete
But people tend to be more toxic so we see more gossip
And there's hatred on the street
Won't anybody take the lead?
It's ourselves we love the least
Everyone seems make believe
That's the nature of the beast
Couple dollars and a dream
What did mama say, kid?
Everything you want to see
Life is what you make it
We are, we are
Going through the same thing
Going through the same shit
We are, we are
Going through the same thing
Going through the same shit
Yo, lost generation, mask-faced nation
World population confrontin' their frustration
A wait station full of COVID-19 patients
In every complexion like ice cream flavors
We all in this together for now it's not forever
Historically it's gotten worse before it's gotten better
In times like these the object is not to let up
If you can hold your head up, then all we gotta get up is a..
Couple dollars and a dream
What did mama say, kid?
Everything you want to see
Life is what you make it
We are, we are
Going through the same thing
Going through the same shit
We are, we are
Going through the same thing
Going through the same shit
