otitis - beenaslave lyrics
[intro]
i been
i been used to this
[bridge]
thoughts clouded, they ain’t clearin’ up
tossed thousands of my fears for love
lost sound that i don’t hear enough
bought mountains just to cheer me up
[hook]
i been a slave, been afraid, been ashamed, been enraged
disengaged, in a daze, ricocheted, in the maze
i been a slave (i been a slave)
i been a slave (it’s what you made)
[verse 1]
i been a slave to all them past thoughts, can’t cast off them feels
been encased in all that asphalt, cuz my dashboard is too real
been a slave to what they asked for, i clasped jaw and stood still
’till i went and did the math, dog, won’t add y’all to no will
been a slave, to a job, with a dream that ain’t even mine
in a cage, i been robbed, too unclean to be breathin’ fine
i been chased, i been mocked, on a screen they could see just fine
been a slave, to the clock, i been fiendin’ to bring more time
been a slave to love, i been a slave to hate
been a slave to patience, bet i paid to wait
been a slave to insecurity, a slave to the currency
root of all evil, keep us feeble, we don’t work for free
been a slave to society too long
a slave to this anxiety, the kind that be too strong
slave to keepin’ peace, i drop my fist
cuz you reap just what you sow, in tow, now you know how i got like this
[hook]
[bridge]
[verse 2]
i been a slave to this psychology, solemnly let it swallow me whole
keep your pardon me’s, hard to be the at the top of the pole
all this technology, smart phones outsmarting me
charged phone for arteries, charcoaled the heart of me
slave to all of that fashion, tryna flash it, do or die
for j’s, you bet that i cash in, cuz they laugh when your shoes ain’t fly
been a slave to the ways of p-ssion, let me ask if it’s cool to shine
in a daze, that tv trash and, they trash-in’ them fools’ minds
been a slave to all of that caffeine, slave to piecin’ that weed
in a cave, the way that they trapped me, energy and sleep to succeed
been a slave to all of you taxis, too long i seen the backseat
been a slave to white and them black keys, these tracks be, what i need
i been a slave to friends and business alike
anybody got a problem, bet they gives it to mike
been a slave to all this rain overflowing atop the canopy
sanity keep me panicking, ‘fore you tell me what a man should be, know
[hook]
