On Paper by Eons D Lyrics
[Chorus]
I just wanna be, with you
So tell me what I gotta do
Just to be with you
For you are the answer
To all I've been through (on paper)
[Verse 1]
Senior year is here and I still look unfamiliar
Cafeteria at capacity, I share lunch with the sun
Maybe things will become clearer, oh how the sky becomes a mirror
And galaxies whisper, 'come hither'
I'm looking at my shoes, like I could never jump from here
Into another sphere, I turned down ever drug from my peers
Just to end up in need of substance
Something to get me drunk and numb this fear, numb this fear, numb this fear
I've been religious since my parents dedicated me
But spiritually I've always been a baby
Insecurities, that dang inferiority complex
Would I say scripture has authority in a blind test?
Minority at war with my context
You know, trying to bring physics concepts to the projects
Its a process, or is it? I mean where's the progress?
Whatever, we talking my stress
Is it the shoes, or I got it? Or is it beyond my consciousness?
I'm just a con with no common sense or confidence
That's why you and I both think these last few lines were nonsense
So let me make it plain so there's no confusion
I got my hand raised, I know the solution
Until I can't take the jokes of other students
Who say its dope to be stupid and skip school like were geniuses
Discuss themes in every scene but when its convenient say its all meaningless
That's why I keep human beings on my reading list
Its like the whole history of English Lit(erature) on a single disc
And we all thinking we need a trip for a touch when its at our fingertips
That's why I'm singing this
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I've been a liar, been a hater, never been a killer
But you ain't gotta take the shots to be facilitator
Just because you ain't lift the bills from the safe
Don't mean you weren't stealing if you were behind the wheel of the getaway
You're just as guilty of the caper
And eternity is what I should be put away for
But you issued a waiver, and decided to be savior
No amount of praise or good behavior could ever return this, this favor
And we already know that grace can't be paid for, yet I labor
As if how you label us didn't hinge on your son taking the place of us
Being raised up, literally and not just lyrically
Physically, and not just on paper
[Outro]
You are
All I need
You are
All I need
I just wanna be, with you
So tell me what I gotta do
Just to be with you
For you are the answer
To all I've been through (on paper)
[Verse 1]
