Archimedes Principle by Mitch Angelo Lyrics
[Intro: Sample from Mitch in Funny City]
Value this time in your life kids
Because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices
And it goes by so fast
When you are teenager, you think you can do anything and you do
Your 20s are a blur
30s, you raise your family, you make a little money and then you think to yourself
"What happened to my 20s?"
40s, you grow a little pot belly, you grow another chin
The music starts to get too loud
One of your old girlfriend from high school becomes a grandmother
50s you have a minor surgery, you'll call it a procedure, but it's a surgery
60s you'll have a major surgery, the music is still loud, but it doesn't matter anyway cos you can't hear it
70s, you and your wife retire to Fort Lauder dale
Start eating dinner at 2'o'clock in the afternoon, have lunch around 10, breakfast the night before
Spend most your time wandering around malls looking for the ultimate soft yogurt and muttering "how come the kids don't call? How come the kids don't call?"
80s you'll have a major stroke
You'll end up babbling to some Jamaican nurse who your wife can't stand but then you call mama
Any questions?
[Verse 1: Mitch Angelo]
Why do I feel like this life is short
I try to make a difference in my time but end up lost
Trynna be self aware
Be ahead of my peers
Self inflicted with pressure
Fuck it I need me some air
Faced with the sames decisions I felt that my daddy made
Will my choices be same?
Am I gotta be the change?
I guess we call a spade a spade if I make his mistakes
If I’m walking his steps, if I never take a break
If I try to make it big and end up losing my way
What’s the story Imma tell?
How will my siblings fare?
What about all my friends
Are we all gonna be great?
Are we all gonna be great?
Every birthday seeming like a countdown
I thought I’d be a billionaire like about now
Thought I would be done with school by 21
I don’t even remember clocking 21
I understand addiction
I understand fear
I understand isolating yourself in despair
I understand dressing up just so you can go to bed
You got all these clothes but got no time to wear
Or got no place to be or got no friends to share
Remember you had a guy
Remember you had a girl
Remember when said she was pregnant and got you scared
Remember when your biggest problem was how to take a test
The emotions that you felt, that shit was really real
Spent all of my time working and forgot I was s'posed to feel
Spent all my time working, I forgot I’m s'posed to feel
[Chorus: Magixx]
It feels like yesterday, things were so amazing
Another time and place, she in different phases
I made too much mistakes, wish I could erase it
How did I, how did I, how did I get here?
How did I, how did I, how did I get here?
How did I, how did I, how did I get here?
How did I, how did I, how did I get here?
How did I, how did I get here?
