Train of Thought by Yafet Lyrics
[verse 1]
Life's the perfect sitcom, wrote the script, and now I direct
What if the roles were reversed? What if you were the reject?
I've been there, I've played that, no rewind, hit eject
Beat up at school, I grew up, so that's cause and effect
Asked myself "who am I?", so I learned how to reflect
Google searched myself, all I found was some self-respect
"Took you long enough", I had to live and then I learned
That all the hard work I put in had shown me what I truly earned
Sense of self obtained, too many copycat contradictions
Say y'all real, the dude in your mirror ain't yo reflection
Swam into the pit of fire, and I returned unburned
Only to return to the walking dead, honesty keeps me from getting turned
In a better place, but we live near that same place
The bigger picture in life is hard without a fucking trace
Stay away from the snakes, all they do is bring drama and spit venom
Now I got bit, they ruined my denim
All while my friends just sat there so they post it for likes
Everyone jumps the bandwagon only to ride their faulty bikes
Dioramas of melodramas, add nine to the 10, hol up, that's not 21 baby mamas
All the while, getting a job these days is lowkey like Iraqi trauma
Yet they talk about they wanna run the nation, like they name Barack Obama...
[verse 2]
Don't build the stress up, just let it go, Idina Menzel
I wanna see the world, but I've seen less Washington than Denzel
Life's the walking dead, I'm Rick Grimes
Recycled memories, I waste time
Play my cards right like poker, but I still can't tell when you're bluffing
Stress over nothing, but I still stress over nothing
Only thing I'm worried about is if I look like McLovin
Man ain't a thing changed, all I learned was how to stay true
Question who you are, and chances are that you might lose
These people sell themselves short just to act like they know you
These things of the past return only to get what I don't owe you
My message lethal serious, but really I'm the silliest
Everybody here watching me like, "is McLovin serious?"
Life is too short, stay in good vibes, toss away the stressin'
Putting in the hard work til peace the only thing left to rest in
"This dude raps really awkward, shit I'm just tryna be honest"
I'm tryna tell these happy tales rather than relive traumas
Like I got real life drama
Like I got a baby mama...
Life's the perfect sitcom, wrote the script, and now I direct
What if the roles were reversed? What if you were the reject?
I've been there, I've played that, no rewind, hit eject
