Brandon Nembhard - Woe is We Lyrics

Here's the gist of me
Every line I supply the page
Is a sign to go find your way
Into history
Let your tale tipple the scale
Balance that isn't for sale
Gotta go get it yourself
That's how it's meant to be

Aye, yo
Everyone here's on timer
But they wanna watch a next man's wrist
Like it don't tick, like my one
I'd rather live from shift to shift
Than sit in the mix
Out seeking a fix
With them man
Who think that cause we exist
That Schrodinger missed
When he said that this box feels lighter
(Swear?)
I do not rock with liars
(Swear?)
You think your pants are fire?
(Yeah?)
What does he mean? What does he mean?
How do we leave the shire?
Fruit been force ripe
Cursed with foresight
Torchlight
What you see is not what you know
So with no belief, there's nowhere to go

Yeah, we're underneath
Open doors, cut the keys
No one knows their lines
Until it's time for them to roll the scene
Bare a smile, show their teeth
It's been a while, since I sat and stared at tile
Closed my eyes and hoped to see
Woe is we

Why should I care what they said?
If it doesn't make P, it doesn't make friends
Nor is it making amends
Then why on earth would it ever make sense?
These days I've gotta say less
Let the action talk
Look through the lens for the casting call
Either you fit, or you don't
It's like you're living alone
You're prone to think on the tip of your toes
It shows
Whenever you're low
Whenever you're high
Whenever the growth is shifting the tone
Whatever you sow
Will be what you reap
End up the goat
Or be the with the sheep
Where's the receipts? Where's the receipts?
You're breaching the code by seeking the growth

Yeah, we're underneath
Open doors, cut the keys
No one knows their lines
Until it's time for them to roll the scene
Bare a smile, show their teeth
It's been a while, since I sat and stared at tile
Closed my eyes and hoped to see
Woe is we

Woe is we
Holding close the culture we ain't close to
Vultures brought you under belt
But you can't holster me
As I spring, I note the leaf
On the page is poetry
I wrote for those who know relief
No relief
