accoro - elephant in the room lyrics

[verse 1]
the pain and the pleasure i marry the two constantly
wrote in this rude odyssey, talk and i spew honesty
and you promise to share that most valued commodity
i owe it to the ones revealin’ the true philosophies
they like some gods to me
only one set of footprints in the sand
and on the rocks i mean the generosity
highlights my own hypocrisy
this attitude that i’ve been fosterin’
buryin’ insincerity below the veil draped on top of me
that’s the only way i knew to appease a disturbance
anger bubblin’ hot eventually reached to the surface
frequent insurgence
turned me to the beast of my burdens
the priest, deacons, the clergy can’t compete with my demons emergin’
to deplete my inertia
and treat me as worthless
and ain’t got the nerve to tell me i deserve it
other rappers bite off styles i’mma feed on my verses and that’s
feedin’ my purpose to keep my feet moving further

[chorus 1]
and keep raisin’ h+ll
my sight’s on the bar like i’m trainin’ delts
any funk i’m in i’m breakin’ out without a trace of help
cause f+ck holdin’ out for a hero i’ll f+ckin’ save myself
any enemy i conjure up i’ll book it past
one by one gainin’ ground i’m never lookin’ back
all the years outrunnin’, all the tears have made me well equipped
one bite at a time’s the only way to eat the elephant
[verse 2]
flashback to a little man
sippin’ on his juice packs
pickin’ at his tooth gaps
inflictin’ all the wounds
that would linger and would bruise fast
but never heal past blue+black
and never truly move past
pure images of youth cracked
if little man saw me now he’d prolly be like
“who’s that with a stooped back?”
tired eyes and calloused hands from always pullin’ up my bootstraps
dealin’ with my own abuse of words that i contorted into true facts
product of a sick brain that’s concoctin’ dread
i carry on closed off without a talk to friends
eaten alive but still on my feet just like the walkin’ dead
in the amount of time i lose my balance and i’m off the ledge
but, they’re feedin’ in secret beats revealin’ your weakness
i ain’t bein’ facetious
i’d have let the bleakness seep in and lead me to bein’ deceased
before concedin’ that i may be needin’ some treatment

[verse 3]
my only way to cope and not completely shut the f+ck down
was plugging in my headphones and zonin’ the f+ck out
reflectin’ on regrets and different outcomes from my choices
pulling from the anger and the spirit and the voices and the instruments
kickin’ the doors off the hinges at the enter+ance
to the cortex i’ve been conflicted with
the blemishes are easier
to weather when i see
them on the people receivin’
all my reverence like medicine
didn’t take it for granted
in fact i treasured it
my idols, maintainin’ all my vitals, whom i’d never met
beginnin’ with that little sh+t+disturber out in michigan
critic+branded menace they can’t understand embellishment
sayin’ he’s imprintin’ on the kids some kind of wickedness
they l!ck their lips thinkin’ ‘bout the sins that they can commit
always found that funny ‘cause for me the antithesis
is his words kept me grounded, lightnin’ rod for all my bitterness
[verse 4]
snap back, a little closer to the present tense
one thing changed is that my inner circle has extended since
j cole, wayne, ken+drick, mac miller, jid
l+t+j, earthgang, all these guys i’m bringin’ with me
and when i got to talkin’
and saw that things had got a lot worse than i thought they’d got
and they helped me find a little fight left when i thought i’d lost it
hands shakin’ and my body nauseous
i still made it to the doctor’s office
he walks in
i barely pipe up with a greeting
throat tightens as i’m speakin’ finally say what i’ve been feelin’
watchin’ him, listenin’, typin’ out the sequence
‘til he switches to a pen, starts writin’ on a piece of
paper, told me this’ll get you right and i believed it
like the first spark and the lightin’ of the beacons
chemical warfare, in spite of the geneva conventions
i’ve got the weapons to get to fightin’ all the demons
walked out with jelly legs like the endin’ of a marathon
starin’ long and hard at my reflection “i ain’t scared of yah!”
though the music couldn’t k!ll the sickness by itself
it made me brave enough to say that i am sick and i need help
so where i am
starin’ down the barrel of a magnum opus
as i am exposin’ my soul i put a bandage over
i know there’s gotta be more healin’ once this track ends
but hey i thought by now that my existence would be past tense
[chorus 2]
ain’t no more runnin’ i stand my ground
no more f+ckin’ issues that i dance around
the ones i collected and the hand+me+downs
and now i’m findin’ more of the quiet moments
the silence golden for a child only hearin’ voices
turn his mind to poison i’ve been dyin’ to know
supported not alone’s the way to shoulder my development
and one bite at a time’s the only way to eat the elephant

[chorus 2]
(one more time)
ain’t no more runnin’ i stand my ground
no more f+ckin’ issues that i dance around
the ones i collected and the hand+me+downs
and now i’m findin’ more of the quiet moments
the silence golden for a child only hearin’ voices
turn his mind to poison and i finally know
supported not alone’s the way to shoulder my development
and one bite at a time’s the only way to eat the elephant

[outro]
whoo
glad to get that off my chest
feels good
accoro
i’m out
