Optimist (We Are Not for Them) Lyrics

I pick a lot of locks/ rock a lot of shows/
Build with the moms/ hang with a broken crow/
Been hurting the same heart/ since I was like 2/
Use sarcasm freely/ bark at the greedy/ bite what feeds/
Shy from the seedy/ Im bold in approach/ so rely on the/
Hope that average/ MCs cant f*** with or sound like me/
Ive never down with The King/ its never something I wanted to be/
Never better than the work/ the toil and reap/
But the work for the wants/ not to suffer for the needs/
Nothings tougher than the/ dreams/ and good sleep/
Teaching my son how to reach/ d*** right/
Cause it get a little darker every night/
And the rent goes up and they cutting out the/
Dead ends to chase/ feelings to fake/
new hearts to break/ amends to make/
They all so/ afraid and safe/
in need of s***e/ but hugging that crowd/
Only shake with the quake/ an a times like this are up/
We break their stride cause we break our mirrors/
They hugging that pride like its all there is/
We make our own and if they dont feel it/
Then we are not for them (and thats cool)
I made this beat for Alegra Oxborough/
She showed me how to do the thing with the cups/
I wrote the verse/ on a triple-double-Tuesday/
Writing in the van/ in the back lot/
I never made it in/ never really can tell the friends these days/
Telephone dont sleep some days/
Someday Ima be peaceful again/ til then keep speak to a min/
Shed a little skin/ Ima beat it all and win/
Ima set it off and run/ Ima kill it til its dead/
Ima do it til it/ aint fun and the words dont come/
Then Im gonna 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 and safe/
in need of s***e/ but hugging that crowd/
Only shake with the quake/ an a times like this are up/
(up for whatever, how are you?)
We break their stride cause we break our mirrors/
They hugging that pride like its all there is/
We make our own and if they dont feel it/
Then we are not for them (we cut our own)
Dead ends to chase/ feelings to fake/
new hearts to break/ amends to make/
They all so/ afraid and safe/
in need of s***e/ but hugging that crowd/
Only shake with the quake/
Dead ends to chase/ feelings to fake/
new hearts to break/ amends to make/
They all so/ afraid and safe/
in need of s***e/ but hugging that crowd/
Only shake with the quake/
