Jus Daze - Andy Dufresne lyrics

rate me

I have memories that hurt my stomach when I think about ‘em

Thoughts that make me more afraid than horrors that I've seen

My reality is worse than your nightmare

Right, like you even give a slight care

I become alive in the night, yeah, with shit that haunts my mind

And makes my gut twist, I tuck lips

‘Cause music moves my soul and lyrics touch my heart

And sew me together when my emotions tear me apart

It takes me places that I've never been and I'm bound to go

And people who impose are only hindering their own

Believe in me when I'm nothing and you'll be there when I'm something

In a field of dreams where when it rains, it pours, I'm sunken

I hate the hate, but without the hate, then I'm nothing

The same ones that pull your card are the same ones bluffing

And old girls that wouldn't date you now are blushing

It's absolute time for me to crunch in

And as far as time goes, make sure you own yours

Or reluctantly have not enough to be successful or too much of it

We love having sex but hate loving

And problems are the answers depending what you take from it

See, I find it a compliment when people with accomplishments

Start popping shit about your confidence

And when you drop a hit, shit, they don't acknowledge it

‘Cause pride’s a thick ball of snottiness to be swallowing

Yet someone whose buzzing moderate, they'll let rock a set

And that's because they're comfortable given chances to those who are not a threat

But me, I walk twice as hard to earn respect

Literally in steps and in heart that I invest

I'm not claiming to be the best, I just got a story to tell

With half an image that sells and the other half that propels

Me to new heights, that's why when I write, I reach a new nice

And gain fame off my life where I pay a price

‘Cause I've had hard days when work sucks and I wanna snap

That's called real life ‘cause in reality I wanna rap

But I'm a working man, facts earning meals without snacks

Trying to reach my goals, defending my post without kicking back

So it's hard not to react when every kid that I pass

Taps his mom and he asks why does walk like that

Looking back, d you know what that makes me feel inside?

To be alive on stage, yet wanna be concealed and hide?

It's like being speared alive and being looked in the eyes

While you’re dying with disgrace as if you kneeled and died

Why is mediocrity being oversold

And nobody cares about a quiet man holding gold?

Staying humble and taking small steps proves my point

That in time you'll never be overhyped and disappoint

Like most, and be considered another lame

If the rules don't apply to you, then reinvent the game

At times I have quiet reminders that I'm sane

And no matter what they say, there's no reason for me to change

‘Cause I've already changed others through myself

So if I change what changes others, how does changing that help?

I feel the wave of staying current and creating stability

But the wind blows whatever direction, regardless if they feeling me

‘Cause no matter what, in due time, most of them are killing me

The spotlight loses watts before it does the MC

‘Cause the spotlight loses watts before it does the MC

‘Cause the spotlight loses watts before it does the MC
