chris truent - catch 22 lyrics

intro:
when will the quality of the music be at the forefront of culture again?
and not petty feuds and point of views
from vultures or friends
but honest criticism, of what you do with a pen
welcome to the “age of spin”
when everybody smiling at you, really ain’t your friend
it’s easy when you on top, but when you’re lost
are you gracious then?
real life is running my patience thin

verse 1
watch the old guitarist play a tune
pic-sso self portrait, kinda blue
who are you?
just a mirage in the mirror
with a flawless appearance
my posture on fearless
far from most poppin’, but close to the realest
hold your applause and yo feelings
times ticking, just gimme a minute
i need support and your heart, just tell me you feel it
even a villain is a hero to some
and sometimes the game is a zero sum
catch 22: do you play or do you run?

verse 2
everyone runnin’ round don’t have your code of ethics
half of y’all really codependent
god d-mn, know the flow relentless
she was feelin’ me i said “you’re beautiful” uhh back to bedlam
now it’s time to get back to bedroom
wake up, get stoned, skip breakfast
never in my life was the wrong sh-t impressive
i move with a message so it’s partly a blessing
but it’s hard to get attention
when you really independent
when they only pay attention when you’re shining with a pendant
or your live on the gram, with a stack in your hand
to your ear
actin like a d-mn fool for your peers
i done cried a river of some tears
jt, michael jackson in the mirror
over girls that i could’ve written pretty little fears bout
shouts to 6lack and cole
power’s when your vulnerable
the world is ours don’t ya know
rain drops come then the sun’ll glow
yah

verse 3
look
look the flow au that’s why i’m shinin’
draped in rubies and gold, don’t want no diamonds
make sure you keepin’ your soul, this world wylin’
pray i even the odds, it’s all timing
things fall apart i gotta cope on my own
demons, on my back they tryna catch me i’m gone
schemin’, it’s a wrap when i tap in the zone
don’t mean to toot my own horn but i’m feelin’ dizzy gillespie
other day seen some sh-t that upset me
it’s evident that i’m stressin’
fixin’ my own perspective
i been studying ethics
i’m the freshest with phonetics
don’t forget it
relevance ain’t in question, so mothaf-ck a mention
can’t be
complacent without direction
not to mention
im gettin’ my sh-t together
umbrella for any weather
only focused on the future like a fortune teller
i’m heaven sent with a message
i could leave it at the beep
rather leave it on the beat
i could do this in my sleep
rem cycle kinda deep
spit that sh-t that make em think
think about it
be about it
dream about it
gotta scheme a way to get it poppin’
when it’s gettin’ low is when you worry bout that money comin’ in or if you out’ve options
never been a problem, with the squad plottin’
who are you without the suit?
i treat the city like it’s gotham

godd-mn i’m on my sh-t though
no diamonds i just came thru with some crystals
energy on point peep the scoreboard
knowledge on endless like i’m naurduar
lemme pose for the camera like i’m on y’all

yeah, where yo mind at?
see the big picture like it’s imax
somebody should sign that
matter fact rewind that
where the f-ck you find that?
where the line between time at
time to let the sun in, where the blinds at?

i got somethin’ cookin’ please don’t rush it cause it’s timeless like i’m jay elec-
so if yo credit maxed or you ain’t got the cash then you could pay respect
or live in debt to me
godfather flow
watch how you step to me
only do so respectfully
if not then it’s rest in piece
pen a eulogy, maybe send a tweet
then i write a thesis
tap into my roots like from who the beat is
i won’t be defeated
deafening flow
i’m only 22 i got minimum a decade to go
maybe two, you heard 4:44
richard pryor on fire how they mention the glow
we got different metrics of how we measure a goat
i get inspired when i’m deep into quotes
or deep into books, i’m keeping the code you deep in the matrix or deep in the hoax
my pockets empty like i’m deep in the hole
i cope with the meditation and the weed that i blow
find peace in the growth
pen and a pad like i’m writin’ my own
just my thoughts
from when i’m right in the zone
we spend our life in a phone
that’s just way it is
ain’t no changing it
growth from every note that i penned this year
persevere
nothing worse than fear
like that quote from braveheart yeah that’s how i feel
tryna take it from value meals to private deals
from resumes talking ‘bout my sk!lls
to everyone asking how it feels
i know all the dreams are real
life is lucid
but half of y’all are just moving stupid
what’s the use if; your cup full but it’s emptiness that you feel

verse 4
nowadays i got no time to waste
got a dream to chase and paper to make
to make sure the dream sees day
your dreams papier-mâché
fade away like jumpers from the coldest that played
memories put away i got too much at stake
play as it lay
call a spade a spade
all you got’s a chain
you rely on the diamonds and clubs
empty hearts, at the table but they got full cups
i’m just playin’ the cards i was dealt and callin’ your bluff
and she callin’ me up
she told me come to the function

oh my this been a h-ll of a ride
got local eyes, tryna go worldwide
maximizing my time
go and look for the villain lemme know what you find
yeah (yeah)
