Select language to translate this lyric
It took us so long to get here
And here really ain't that special
Was it all worth it?
Was it all you hoped for and wished for?
And I remember the day dreams of a pre-teen
Boy on grandmamaâs porch,
Motley Crew of ashy-knee colored boys
Yelling, Thatâs
my
car
when
the
nice
ones
roll
by.
Bathing in that summer afternoon sunset
Heads flat on the concrete
Eyes straight to the sky
As to drown out from the smog and the drug transactions
We were obviously surrounded by
One day Iâmma make it
But what is ââÃu00adtââ?
Objects? Things?
And it's all to realize that calm
It ainât really that calm
And the struggle is much more enjoyable
When the indent clutched (?)
Like the moment you realize you're consumed
With first world problems
I guess it means you made it
But it's eerie how uncomfortable it is
When we get too comfortable
When theyâre closing the curtains to convince you that itâs night time
Donât believe 'em (donât believe 'em)
Donât believe 'em (donât believe 'em)
When they tell you itâs a must have and you canât live without it,
Listen, you donât need it (you donât need it)
You donât need it (you donât need it)
When they tell you sweetie this and only this is beautiful,
Tell 'em, I donât see it (I donât see it)
I donât see it (I donât see it)
Donât believe 'em (donât believe them)
You donât need it (you donât need it)
I donât see it (I donât see it)
I donât see it (I donât see it)
Itâs kind of like that notion
That if you accept these set of notions
Than your soul's premium is secure, right?
And youâre searching for new mountains to climb
As if you conquered the first one
You ainât done, youâre just comfy
And it seems like your soul's tenacity
Bent on moves to the suburbs
And them neatly aligned trees
And perfectly manicured lawns
And them say that schools and parks is a good place to raise a beer belly, right?
And them identical strip malls on every corner of your mind
Can feel a little clusterphobic
Right?
And it's there you realize that there is no other ââthereââ
This type of perfect, boy it just ainât workinâ
Donât you dare close the curtains
It ainât night time
You donât need another object
And that right there is not beauty
Homie, it's eerie
How uncomfortable it is when you get too comfortable
When theyâre closing the curtains to convince you that itâs night time
Donât believe 'em (donât believe 'em)
Donât believe 'em (donât believe 'em)
When they tell you itâs a must have and you canât live without it,
Listen, you donât need it (you donât need it)
You donât need it (you donât need it)
When they tell you sweetie this and only this is beautiful,
Tell 'em, I donât see it (I donât see it)
I donât see it (I donât see it)
Donât believe 'em (donât believe 'em)
You donât need it (you donât need it)
I donât see it (I donât see it)
I donât see it (I donât see it)
Don't believe 'em (don't believe 'em)
You don't need it (you don't need it)
I don't see it (I don't see it)
Don't believe 'em
You don't need it
I don't see it (I don't see it)
