P.O.S. - Optimist (We Are Not for Them) lyrics
rate meI pick a lot of locks
I rock a lot of shows
build with the moms
Hang with the broken crow...
Been hurt in the same heart
since i was like two...
I use sarcasm freely
Bark at the greedy
write what feeds
shy from the seedy
I'm bold in approach
so rely on the hope
that the average emcees
can't fuck with a sound like me
I've never been down with the king
It's never somethin I wanted to be
Never better than the work
then the toil and the reap
have to work for the wants
not to suffer for the needs
nothin's tougher than the...
dreams...
and good sleep
tryin' to teach my son how to reach
damn right.
cause it gets a little darker every night
and if the rent goes up
they gonna cut out the...
dead ends to chase
feelings to fake
new hearts to break
amends to make
they all so
afraid of safe
and need their space
but huggin' that crowd
when we shake with the quake
and uh...
times like this are up...
we break their stride
cause we break our mirrors
their huggin' that pride like its all there is
make our own and if they don't feel it
then we are not for them...
and that's cool...
yo
I made this beat for Alegra Oxboro
she showed me how to do the thing with the cups
I wrote the verse on a triple double Tuesday
riding in the van in the back lot
I never made it in
never really can tell the friends these days
telephone don't sleep some days
someday I'm gonna peaceful again
until then
keep the speech to a min
shed a little skin
I'm a bet it all an win
I'm a set it off and run
I'm a kill it till it's dead
I'm a do it till it ain't fun
and the words don't come
then I'm a find another hobby
probably find love
probably find trust
81' young with a little bit of rust
clean interior
Minnesota plates
money in the bank
with a lot of you to thank
relate to the
dead ends to chase
feelings to fake
new hearts to break
amends to make
they all so
afraid of safe
and need their space
but huggin' that crowd
when we shake with the quake
and uh...
times like this are up...
Up for whatever
and how are you?
we break their stride
cause we break our mirrors
their huggin' that pride like its all there is
we make our own and if they don't feel it
then we are not for them...
we caught a riot..
dead ends to chase
feelings to fake
new hearts to break
amends to make
they all so
afraid of safe
and need their space
but huggin' that crowd
when we shake with the quake
and uh...
dead ends to chase
feelings to fake
new hearts to break
amends to make
they all so
afraid of safe
and need their space
but huggin' that crowd
when we shake
that's it<br />
