90 BPM. Get off it. Following false prophets: Just as addictive as doing narcotics.

lyrics

It ain't as bad as it all seems no matter what
don't sweat the small things, so batter up

None of life's upper cuts can cut up on my feelings
No deal or deal, this ain't business we dealing

Reeling from the things that this kid done walked through
Asking would you have done shit i had to do

What if it were you that had no job
no prospects or faith, left to rob

society sayin that you locked out
ain't even a hope of punching a clock now

what if it were you that couldn't back down
sayin it ain't good enough dealin the crack route

We go through a lotta things and the loneliness says
it ain't just a feelin trapped in your head

locked in your room and strapped to ya bed
wishing things were different, wishing that you was dead

---------------------------

these companies telling me i gotta have more
more of everything i can't afford

more so that life don't get me bored
i'm a little tyler durden, time to settle the score

get off it, following false prophets
just as addictive as doin narcotics

i'm off it rubber room politician
switch your perspective like a magicians

slight of hand, never over here
only try to keep things clever for ya ear

every night when celebrity is near
i duck out the back only fearing fear

instead of being famous, i'll remain nameless
as long as the world can maintain changes

it's never about how much you posess
it's about the people held close to ya chest
