[Verse 1: Marquo Vitali]
Someone once told me the gra** is always greener
On the other side but snakes hiding no matter how you eating
Whoever the heir apparent must keep em breathing
Just keeping wary don't never let em see where you sleeping
Keep the words you speak under lock and key
While they talking hopeless I'm speaking prophecy
Because when I woke up this morning all I could see
Was a crowd of people all hounding me bout what I should be
But my job has never been addressing them
Impressing them is not a thought I'm ever gone be stressing in
Tryna get triple crown status ain't thinking about pedestrians
Poet within my craft I ain't thinking about these thespians
Cuz when the director cut which one of em stand for something
I'll stop touching on their discussions whenever they press the bu*ton
It ain't nothing to talk bout stunting I'm tryna find some substance
So when they walk up on them crutches wondering
[Bridge: Marquo Vitali]
How you feel so alone when everybody around
How you sit on the throne while everyone want the crown
How you go on the road and leave everybody at home
Always talking ya team but do everything on your own
How you get all the pain when everybody play the victim
How everyone got a problem but you're the one that fix em
How you look in their eyes when they got too many faces
How you finish the book when everybody want a placement
We just turn the pages
[Hook: Natalie Major]
Oh
We cannot face the open road
We're always wide awake
We're learning to accept why can't change
The story of our lives
We read between the line
[Verse 2: Marquo Vitali]
Stopped checking for em I'm tripping now
Never popped at the function they said I'm missing out
But I could never be fascinated
By some Captain, Aces and rocky
My life don't have a chaser
I'm a product of self afflicted confinement
If I ain't sleeping I'm grinding
And I'll only sleep when I die
So I'm lab ridden
My chemical romance next to my coffin
And I'm coughing up the solution to the problem no one will solve
Cuz that's me
One over a hundred
No Tanahashi but Nagata must be my incumbent
No problem probably never gon be the one that they wanted
Cuz I'm the product opposite all the ones that they funded
But thats my blood tho
Kinfolk swear to God that we got em
What I did tho
Whatever it was it was without em
And I ain't quit, no
Aware that all the love will be tardy
So in the mean time them questions I'll answer hardly like
[Bridge: Marquo Vitali]
How you feel so alone when everybody around
How you sit on the throne while everyone want the crown
How you go on the road and leave everybody at home
Always talking ya team but do everything on your own
How you get all the pain when everybody play the victim
How everyone got a problem but you're the one that fix em
How you look in their eyes when they got too many faces
How you finish the book when everybody want a placement
We just turn the pages
[Hook: Natalie Major]
Oh
We cannot face the open road
We're always wide awake
We're learning to accept why can't change
The story of our lives
We read between the line
