lyrics

Now who poisoned the well?
Who convinced me I couldn't be happy all by myself?
I quit rapping a long time ago
This is what it sound like to chase a high you can't find at the corner store
Bought some timberland boots just for a little boost
But once I got'em home, they was just a pair of shoes
Where is the parachute?
Feels like I'm falling fast. Fuck a screw
Life has me feeling like the whole frame is loose
Been a day or two if what they say is true
Every time I make a purchase, I should feel incredible
Every time the pussy nonstop, it's amazing
Even if we not connected and I can't feel a thing, ya see
I got the women and the living and the name brand
And every possession they say is in the game plan
But this emptiness in me give me the feeling
That it's Christmas morning and Santa died inside of the chimney
What's up?

[Chorus]
They say happiness is a mindset
I don't mind threats if I keep my conscience, yeah
and all these things they tell us to buy
Ain't buying us any time, we living a lie
They say happiness is a mindset
I don't mind threats if I keep my conscience, yeah
And all these things they tell us to do
Ain't doing us any good
You know that it's true

[Verse 2]

All my friends starting families or got significant others
All I got is this notebook and a box full of rubbers
And a brain full of memories I shouldn't describe
I shoulda wiped from my mind if I'd have had half of mine
But I just had 'bout a quarter
No this shit isn't water
Think about what I sacrificed, even though i don't wanna
Think about what I've given, to be in this position
Trading love and companionship for a couple of listens
I mean my bed is still empty
And my head is still full
Put the pursuit of perfection up on a pedesta-d-dal
What if I never acquire, making music for hire?
Even worse, if I get it, what if fulfillment expire?
See the boogeyman creepin
Deep inside of my being
Putting worms in his stomach, but never stretching the seams
What if everything that I've ever wanted and dreamed is
not enough to make me happy?
