And when I cough hard, I see stars
And when I cough up, I cough up blood
And when I'm waiting I'm patient for this nations saving grace
And when I'm rolling in it I blow it
When I kiss concrete I conk out
And when I miss out I'm all but doubting your loyalty
And when I risk listening to the man in the box, I think outside the box
And when I slip inside this house I
All of us must simmer down
I said all of us must simmer down
All this meditation
When all I need is medication
I sold my soul for gratification
Now I'm just chasing sedation
Now I'm walking to the subway, I said the transport not the food
The sun on my face feels lovely and I got on my new shoes
I wish I was like Joe, just try them on and walk out
I always get told when I'm blowing smoke to simmer down
Simmer down
Simmer down
Simmer
All of us must simmer down
I said all of us must simmer down
