emceegeo - hollow man lyrics
[intro]
hark, heed
[chorus 1]
i′m just another hollow man
[verse 1]
god made us one part brain and another heart
to understand the cosmos and shed a tear for art
a mental psychiatric mutt, muddled in the middle
pulled on like a fiddle, learning to live within a riddle
sometimes we get lost and it’s difficult to see
the demons within me have my internal processes
all bunched up in a ball _ can′t separate at all
hurts when i try to think of anything, anything at all
today was another day i purposefully left the lights off
leaving me my thots, for a firmament to gain a sight of
where i’m going, where this train is headed, anxiety embedded
in my soul, so we roll, onwards to the abyss we go
the herb has me swerving by, whirring high, nursing my
deepest insecurities, learning my impurities
sure of these, nothing else; socrates, he burn in h_ll
for showing folks like me the road to set me free
but then without so much a thot he ties my underlying foot
to a rock _ it’s heavy and i can barely move my legs
wearily searching for a cane, slowy going insane, insane
no one hears me scream cuz my lungs ain′t mine to squeeze
i feel trapped in my own flesh, wrapped in my own filth
palmful of foam pills, crushed to atone k!lls
that i committed today by blowing my dreams away
it′s okay tho, i can cope, not a big deal
i’m just one in a billion who got pilfed by stayin′ real
but maybe it wasn’t ever mine at all, at all, at all
so let it go, let it go
hope u know that everything is fine
life′s a b_tch and then you die
[chorus 2]
life’s a b_tch and then you die
but to be king of this wasteland
[verse 2]
truth is, i came out the womb sizzlin′
drizzlin’, little wizard with his biz all out
no stones yet in the gizzard
mommy told me she loved me from the first time that she saw me
from then on, i went on a mission
to defend her from all manner of idle wishin’
criminals that came fishin′, pockets thick and
men who′d shame my name by making me feel small
like all they little boys who knocked me down climbin’ up a wall
and all they little girls who turned me down up in the dance hall
but i knew _ deeply i did _ i had something they couldn′t see
no one could, everyone around was busy choppin’ the same wood
barely looking up from the maze they in, such a haze they in
i wish they would wake the f_k up and check the dates they in
a long time′s passed _ we no longer in high school
reality s_ks, and we didn’t have a class for it besides night school
but, nah, people are happy doing what they were taught to do
balancing a checkbook for the billionth time _ like a tool _
seeing that number go up, bit by bit, from yours to mine
happy to be part of some corporate conglomerate
so once in a while i can fornicate in private on emirate
that ain′t me, no siree, i did not score a second chance
to be free only to freely fit a shackle to my knee
so i began to soar _ as best as i can
i liked the feeling of soaring, cuz you can go higher and higher
when i start to perspire the wind at my face whispered ‘don’t despair
the universe is for hire; make it like you, make it your dowsing wire
in fact, make it worship|warship you _ why can′t it be you?
every generation has its idols
from explorers to entrepreneurs to pop stars too
powered passionately by the captivated public′
so go do you
get up there
shine your light
let it go!
like em said: ‘murder every minute like it′s your very last show’
so you can claim your own minute up there
go, have a picnic
and you didn′t get up there at 26, so your good with your inner cynic
don’t ruin the picnic
go _ enjoy the yacht and the sea
the moral rot and the weed
the back room and the speed
the adulation, the prestige
cuz not everyone gets that sh_t the way that you did
or, i mean, that you could one day get, na′ mean?
so don’t f_k around, coz
don’t waste a minute
see, sleep, now sleep is the cousin of death _ haha _ get it?
go get with the times, kid, or are you still down
with the cold of the pound
still fittin′ to contemplate crimes, kid?
′nu uh
not us
we get ours, fam
smoke that full name high up in the sky and fly our name far, fam!
yeah!’
[chorus 3]
but to be king of this wasteland
fly that full name far and far
but to be the king′s right hand man
[verse 3]
don’t mischaracterize me, i′m not a loser or a villain
it doesn’t matter how much you seen
i′ve got plenty to teach if you’re willing
i’ve probably had to write every dissertation under the sun
so what do you want?
you want me to change your diapers, or you wanna get your learn on?
the years have thickened my skin to excitement or to ennui
so don′t hold it against me if you never find me angry
or rapturous or melancholy
[chorus 4]
a fly on the wall in ancient lands
or be the maidens fair and fine
[verse 4]
so i guess i′m the maid huh, f_k you, alright let’s do this
but before i start tearing sh_t up, did the wire come thru for this?
[chorus 5]
or be a virgin don juan
