platitudes lyrics
[verse: the thought]
it ain’t self+help if you get it from a book
it ain’t motivation if you need to hear a speech
if they peddle false+hope, they’re usually a crook
if they charge you for advice they’re a leech
there’s exceptions to these rules, better jaded than a fool
best going to school to learn and teach
there’s deceptions right and left, just be wary of the theft
keep your sh+t deft to grow your reach
sk!lls mean nothing, if you don’t ever practice
wisdom don’t mean sh+t if you won’t share
dollar bills are the idol, just the means to purchase
the system only works if you stay scared
there’s exceptions to that law, occupy your broken jaw
the straw that breaks the camel should be spared
there’s deceptions left and right, don’t begrudge who holds the might
the thieves in the night will come prepared

[hook: the thought]
with some platitudes, platitudes
coming at you with them platitudes
with them platitudes, platitudes
show some motherf+cking gratitude for them platitudes

[verse: the thought]
wealth is not success if that money bl++dy
faith is not a choice, it’s how you’re raised
health is not possessed if that tummy hungry
fate is merely based on when you’re praised
there’s exceptions to my claims, it depends on who you blame
don’t bother lighting flames if you can’t see
there’s deceptions up and down, just look beneath the crown
there ain’t no need to frown if you agree
happiness is not a drug, just a chemical reaction
based on how you perceive stimuli
oxytocin’s not a hug, just a medical abstraction
there’s always demand if you supply
there’s exceptions to my words, obey the rule of thirds
go be a nerd, go find your why
there’s deceptions down and up, keep your hand over your cup
be careful as f+ck with who you deify
[hook: the thought]
they just got platitudes, platitudes
coming at you with them platitudes
with them platitudes, platitudes
coming at you with them platitudes
and that “f+ck you” attitude
