eli the artist - the chicken lyrics

the sun is shining and i’ve got a gl-ss of lemonade
and i’m afraid of falling back into the hole that i’ve escaped
i taped these shapes again to feel completely made
i paid my dues and played the game yet i’m still acting the same
once again who’s name do i gotta blame
only myself is my ticket claim to fame
i can write a ton of raps but at the end of the day all i am still afraid
growing up i used to always wish that i was white
sought approval from cody jd and mike
but one night samsa’s tinder samurai showed me being brown is pretty tight
i used to fight myself to get to bed at night
now i just fight myself to leave my bed at nine
sip on this wine thinking how time’s past me by
caught the train i waved goodbye now i’m off searching for signs

what if all my efforts end up being costless
and i’m left thoughtless in a hot grey walled office
chronically feeling nauseous filing
papers in these brown boxes
while i’m listening to the fleet foxes
what if my conscience breaks and i become so heartless
and in keeping my promise i lose my house and now i’m jobless
and i’m trapped under these monstrous student charges
with no room to move
f-ck it i think i’ll drink up on the roof
d-mn i’m sickened my fear of life it’s conditioned
all my efforts insufficient i can never reach agreement
trivialize all my achievements this sh-t tends to be so frequent
i should seek some treatment even on days i’m feeling decent
and in recent i’ve been active on the weekends
scoffed at fearing and called them out for being chickens
the plot thickens
i’ve had a million visions
all you people better listen cuz’ man i just feel like i’m the chicken

and in these moments is where i wish that i could speak
but it seems i’m underwater and i cannot breathe
but it seems i’m underwater and i cannot sleep
screaming for help is practically useless
clueless
death by overbearing pride hubris
stared into a blank mirror and watched myself go toothless
looked up at the sky just to watch it go moonless
