Anthony Laurence - Mr. Laurence lyrics

rate me

Hey Mister Laurence, I am him

Tell me where you've been?

I've been to college but I'm back again

We've been asking, we've searching, we've wondering why?

I missed you all friends

Mister Laurence, I am him

Tell me where you've been?

I've been to college but I'm back again

We've been asking, we've searching, we've wondering why?

I missed you all friends

The chicken and the egg, ah, I'm laying in bed

The chicken is smoking the cigarette

With a satisfied smile on his face while the egg says

I guess this answers that question, haha

The shit is funny if you get it, right?

And if you don't well just give it a second

My subject is beginnings I was just breaking the ice

You know you can't be super serious all of the time

Cause life gets depressing when you asking huge questions

So many avenues, so many directions

Might find yourself drowning in introspection

Sometimes you stop to thinking then you halt your progression

You gotta just jump in that's the lesson

And those who ain't afraid to fail, we respect them

We want things to start but remember things end

So if you in the middle better enjoy it a little

Hey Mister Laurence, I am him

Tell me where you've been?

I've been to college but I'm back again

We've been asking, we've searching, we've wondering why?

I missed you all friends

Mister Laurence, I am him

Tell me where you've been?

I've been to college but I'm back again

We've been asking, we've searching, we've wondering why?

I missed you all friends

Ah, it's like this, I've been and out of school since

I was just .8 by .6 and this is the first time life has had no structures

And I've been trying to figure out how to function

Cause now it's up to me to succeed

But these schools only trained us to be worker bees

Sometimes I think I should have left before the degree

Before they had the chance to institutionalize me

I know I've got a whole lot to forget

There's a whole lot of rules that I need to break quick

No more luxury of being idealistic

Used to give advice but now I'm on my own bizness

For you learn that those who teach often can't do

Then you find out that's what they've been training you to do

Ha, fuck now what?

This life ain't satisfying, so it's back to them dreams that I blissfully blinding

Hey Mister Laurence, I am him

Tell me where you've been?

I've been to college but I'm back again

We've been asking, we've searching, we've wondering why?

I missed you all friends

Mister Laurence, I am him

Tell me where you've been?

I've been to college but I'm back again

We've been asking, we've searching, we've wondering why?

I missed you all friends

Sometimes I don't know whether to be an artist or an asshole

Cause look of what they did to Lupe Fiasco

Sign with a label or do it on my own

Only labels have the power to make you well known

And my talent demands I go broke

So I either need to blow up or pack up

Now you hear that sentiment that readiness to quit

They say success comes with step after you hit, your limit

And I'm there for growled and I'm living enough

I know myself well, I want the ball in the clutch

The clock is running out but I won't just throw it up

Everything slows up, I got a .. touch

Cause everything I do is deliberate,

Just trying to finish my tape

And see if Andre could get it to Drake

Have my Harvard lawyer shop it to the record...

And when the right people hear it then it's going to be check

Check mating the whole new game begins

Right, get the contracts, negotiate tips

You can't just wait and pray on a big break

At the right team ... then you'll be in good shape

So as for being an artist or an asshole

I'm learning fast I'ma have to do both

And try not to be control obsessed

Cause I think in the end we all in a kinect correct

I only understand some of it

I really keep doing this for the love of it

And right now currently compromising none of it

Keeping it, real chamberlain, that's 100 it

Till everyone is wondering about mister Laurence

Tell them I sacrificed it all to be an artist

Just to create a few pieces of perfection

And then to sit in your collection

Hey Mister Laurence.<br />
