Marlo Eugene - Of Men Lyrics

I think I'm good right here
In a land where every author wants to be king
You write the road to perception
I'm often in the GT

My conscience is the North Star
Locked in with the conflict
And the off-switch to the sports bar
Is the on-switch in the deep sea

But I can only blame Marlo
If a cycle is a circle then it's all the same sorrow
Still feel like I came far, those dreams you sold were remarkable ones to sleep through
That I'll take anything that you offer except the sequels

I thought I could listen to friends
Thirty minutes after that I was pitching a tent
No food in the cabinet, my vinyls were ripped in the stitch
Not to mention my condition, contentions within

But that's all in the air
Some call it conviction, I call it aware
Some call it religion, I call it prepared
And once I saw the difference, wisdom left them all impaired

Now I think I know what they mean when they say win-win
I'm '86ing all in-betweens and what they're sent with
Maybe it's the songs and the beats that I'm content with
That's why I leave them all on repeat and let the pen drip

Nappy in the head, I'm happy now I thank the Lord for this
And I'm just trying to get this all out before the chorus hits
You should see me now, I'm scribbling to finish this
Excited, barely legible, it's written like a signature

To think I almost laid some irrelevance wrote to something else
But now you'll get the latest developments if you've come for help
The verse will emerge from inside and reveal the truth
The words are rehearsed and the vibe has been filtered through

My anger is a child in the closet with the muzzle on
Who cries to hear the kids outside play on the sidewalk
The things I call a trial today and try to fight with
I'd rather be a mile away than eye to eye with, yes

I don't want to let it go
I'm checking back like eight times a day
Hoping I'll be ready to accept all that they reveal
And I'm poised for the looks on they're faces
