maeko - dead center, looking around lyrics

(intro)

the cities like a hive from the outside
and i’m caught its a swarm in the middle (x4)
it’s a swarm in the middle

(hook)

skyline backdrop gold and the city’s stone
ain’t no stars in the sky, but the buildings glow
i hum something in my mind when i feel alone
i think there’s always time to grow
skyline backdrop gold and the city’s stone
ain’t no stars in the sky, but the buildings glow

(verse 1)

the way i say it’s different
the role i play is honest
the hardest part ain’t living
the hottest part ain’t saunas
give me another minute
i need a goal accomplished
i don’t have time for you, no
i gotta work the hardest
i’d like to sleep the winter off and never wake up once
i wanna pencil in some stuff that really makes you wanna jump
and never like suicidal, i’m talking new arrivals
i’m praying up to jerry every time i need reminders
i’m talking to myself, i’m driving
i got two jobs riding
i’m feeling mentally unstable, how would you describe it?
i can’t die doing what i hate
i’d rather die an icon
im from where everybody’s sticking to the f-cking script
and i get crazy looks for thinking that i’m maybe it
or one of it, there’s many souls that’s tryna go for this
another just a place holder, hone in on what hova said
i know the drugs would make me number than some novocaine
i know the alcohols the same, i’m tryna curb it now
i’m getting used to feeling like a different person now
im working for a living, i rap to stay alive
the panic hitting me, i’m pulling over on the drive
i hope my heart is strong, problems hereditary
i hope father hits 100 with his capillaries
and bump is 90, 88 last time i rapped his name
lindsey in brooklyn, hope that her and chrissy have a baby
kelly’s my other sister, i love her just the same
my moms the reason that i got this smile on my face
my uncles aunts and cousins
grandparents up in heaven
joe viera in the painting
i think he’s got me covered

(bridge)

when i feel alone, well i know i’m not alone in the city (x2)

(hook)

(spoken outro)

when you step back and get an aerial view of the hive, its pure chaos
but when you’re on the inside it’s just business as usual
and there’s a queen bee that we’re all working for
and that’s why we’re all in the hive to begin with
even if we don’t wanna be
see some of us would rather be looking at the hive from afar, on the outside looking in
and haven’t accepted that we need to be on the inside looking out
and as a wise man once said
some of us are in the dead f-cking center
looking around
