(Alright, scientists over in Japan
Have developed new technology
That will allow them to see inside your mind)
[Intro]
Hey yo
I think about that all the time
All those lonely nights
Writing just to stay alive
I'm in a different state of mind
Used to say I wanted simple things
Now I want the bigger things
Give me everything
My stomach's bigger than my eyes
[Verse 1]
Know what I mean
And I ain't talking about green backs
Cause if you see my history
I leave that on the table
Cause I'm mean cat
Yo, you can't take it with you
If that's the issue then I'm dead broke
Let's make it official
So every breath I spit's expensive chardonnay
And every cigarette's el presidente
And every meal is filet
And every dessert's crème brûlée
Cause I live life the way i want to live
Til I end my days, hey
Think I'm crazy?
Some say inspired
Write graffiti in blood
Tag my name on every sign
And I know that when I try
It's like a roll of the die
And I think i'm feeling lucky tonight
[Chorus]
And if my future's up in the air
Then I'ma just stay high
Cause they say i'm steady on the rise
And I'ma just keep trying
To my previous state of mind
Well I'ma just say bye
And if you ask me how I'm doing today
Then I'ma just say fine
Yeah, well I'ma just say fine
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I do this for me
But I do it for you too
For those kids in high school
Cause those bullies are so cruel
For the working stiffs
Hearing the hum of the fluorescence
For artists making [?]
Still contributing to the essence
And I do this for the rappers
Do this for the indie kids
Do this for the writers
The actors and the musicians
In orchestral symphonies
Cause you're just a piece of the picture
It's all another factor
We're cogs in big businesses
For everyone whoever swallowed
A dream because it didn't seem that you could make it
Man, I don't know how y'all can take it
Or pace it with the daily life
I tried to fake it for three years
And nearly lost my mind
But I'm not out for sympathy, no mam
I ain't looking just to see my name up in the program
All i wanna do is grab a mic and hear a beat and go ham
Make some art that makes y'all sit and think like Rodin
What if you could just
Just think your life away?
Right?
Yeah
[Chorus]
And if my future's up in the air
Then I'ma just stay high
Cause they say I'm steady on the rise
And I'ma just keep trying
To my previous state of mind
Well I'ma just say bye
And if you ask me how I'm doing today
Then I'ma just say fine
Yeah, well I'ma just say fine
Just think, just think
What if you could just
Just think your life away
Just think, yo
What if you could just
Just think your life away
Just think
What if you could just
Just think your life away
Just think, just blink
What if you could just
Just blink your life away
