[Verse]
Floating in the ocean
Treading water, my arms open
In my past life, I was god
I had skies, I had sod
You would fear me, you would pray
You would love me, you would pay
With your respect, with your virgins
When you're young, nothing's urgent
When you grow, you need workshifts
You need purses, you need purpose
What is purpose without humans?
Why can't I do shit just to do shit? (Why?)
Institutions that make you stupid
They need money, so they need students
They got greedy, they need slaves
Highly doubt that I need a casket
With all these student loans in my grave
If I died today... Wait (If I died today)
What if I'm already dead and I'm just a flashback before my real eyes?
Was in a coma, and I woke up
I quit my job today, suck my nuts
King Midas, everything I touch
Is never gold, it's always silver
I'm always close, but I'm far away
Minutes late to the matinee
Is this my movie? Is this my movie?
Sleep paralysis, I'm not moving
My greatest fear is to die unhappy
Am I the joke? 'Cause I'm not laughing
Nothing's fake, nothing's real
We only exist to enjoy our meals
Follow that, follow this
What's the point? Are we lost?
Final level, who's the boss?
King Koopa, stormtrooper
Darth Vader or an elevator?
Straight to Hell, what is Heaven like?
We live our lives like an open mic
I just hope I'm right, I just hope I'm right
I just hope I'm... right
[Outro]
'Cause, uh-
You, know I-...
I've been in New York, um, for a while now
And, uh, at first I was lost... just trying to figure out who I am
And, uh, I was rapping... um, interning
And, uh, I eventually started to feel... like, like, trapped
Like I... like I can't escape this
It's like an aquarium full of people chasing their dreams
