reason the citizen – among sharks lyrics
[verse 1: reason the citizen]
yo, i ain’t a person
just a demographic a statistic
a target market for this narcissistic business
i’ve slipped into this blissful non-existence
and insist that it’s just me i never listened when it was mentioned
my purpose permanently skewed certain i was destined
instead left with a handful of unanswered questions
and once again i’m stuck no escape, tragedy struck
and now i’m faced with this disruption of my state
i know my role i know my place but this is cutthroat
my open soul is now at stake the camera’s up close
no more control i’m trusting fate to make my bets for me
i probably could have got the job but i came dressed poorly
but i ain’t gift wrapping my presentation
a solo traveler with a questionable destination
i left it permanently etched into the pavement
i am not a prince, such a meaningless statement
[hook: reason the citizen]
swim among sharks don’t let them surround me
pauper not a prince never let them crown me
it’s ironic that the flood almost drowned me
that same moment i found me
that same moment i found me
swim among sharks don’t let them surround me
pauper not a prince never let them crown me
it’s ironic that the flood almost drowned me
that same moment i found me
that same moment i found peace
[verse 2: reason the citizen]
it’s like i try but i fail often
there’s no escaping this nailed coffin status is up for auction
and since i can’t afford it, my image is distorted
and the f-cks with budgets get above despite poor performance
and i get over looked, while they get over booked
and over hyped i’m under paid smelling what’s over cooked
let’s take a sober look more difficult than over crooks
now that’s a skateboard reference if you don’t know you’re shook
notice this honesty this industries a circus ring
approach this artistry and carve in what the purpose means
so you can misinterpret this sh-t is a sick diversion
out of focus like this vodka with a fifth of bourbon
in my whip swerving, going 95
should i just be a big person go get a 9 to 5
or should i hop back in the booth and redefine my grind
i’m hanging up my suit and tie for the final time
[hook]
