Welcome to the Circus by Tablets of Oak Lyrics
I'd like to welcome a new performer to the stage
He's not the right prerequisites
He's not the height, the face, the age
But he has got a couple things that are half decent left to say
And so he raps em for some reason
Oh whatever that's ok
But to the point
This poetry is not for popularity
In fact the people's popular receptions
Got polarity
The populous is not the must
But rather just a small byproduct
It's sort of fun to share the stuff your overworked mind thought of
Been caught up in emotions and exhausted
But I'm mopping up my messes and I'm ready for my close up
You know what
What I've been thinking
Is that everyone I know of
S'Lacking certain things that matter
It matters we know it
I never seem to have the time
It's the central reason why
I often lie
On the sideline
Looking for a way to shine
Figure out what's really mine
Fore I die
It's a crime
That so many never try
I really try but I admit that's it's a trial
It's pretty common for my creativity
To go in a spiral
Into a mess
I'm not in denial
It just makes sense
But I fail in style
And one day I'll find the way out
Find the way up
I'll go and surmount
The mountain I'm climbing up
Yup
Imma tell my destiny what's up
Cause in the end my legacy was never based on luck
Sometimes what matters
Doesn't matter anymore
In my head
In my head
Sometimes what matters
More than anything at all
In my head
Is to rest
I need reminding
Tell me What's it like to live
I never thought that I would find a place
Where someone could forget
Tell me this
I know what matters
Tell me so I don't forget
We’re running outta time
I'm satisfied
With all of mine I spent
Oh
Been looking for the person
I have never been
God willing
In these years
You will see him again
My friend
I need reminding
Tell me what's it like to live
I know that somewhere in the tangle
We will know it all meant
Oh
I wonder what it feels like
Facing down the end
One day you will look back
And see I tried to start again
And see I tried to start again
He's not the right prerequisites
He's not the height, the face, the age
But he has got a couple things that are half decent left to say
And so he raps em for some reason
Oh whatever that's ok
But to the point
This poetry is not for popularity
