Art Morera - The Elephant lyrics

[Verse 1: Art Morera] I said, it's on baby, once again I was just a kid raising hell, f** a bid In the concrete jungle, survival of the fittest Only thing my brother did was hustle in the jungle gym [Hook: Art Morera] This message is for the elephant in my room I think I understand you now [Verse 2: Art Morera] You see, it goes for anything in life, everything When you fumble, run and quickly pick it up again I used to be like 'Hey, judge this from a scale of one to ten' I got a scale now, iTunes on shuffle Ten things in a duffel, if I'm lucky, eleven Got my 215, everything else is irrelevant When I'm in the room it's like I'm the elephant And these hyenas tucking their tail in, ah man [Hook: Art Morera] This message is for the elephant in my room I think I understand you now [Verse 3: Art Morera] My short temper lead me to my longest nights Nobody sleeping right when my bomb ignites 'Ayo, the neighbor said they're calling the cops They can hear us yelling through the wall' What an a**hole I appear as But a thing I won't do is bring her to tears With eyeliner falling down the cheek the last one smeared If this moment were captured with a caption here How could it say today was a good day? Yeah, life ain't about what you want Sometimes you get what you get I still think about my aunt, swear I miss her to d**h My sister just had a baby, I'm bout to go cut a check Cuz my niece don't need any help from no government No pun intended but she knows what her big brother meant Least I hope, all I ever had was good intent But know I'm about to put the game in a figure four leg lock Some beg me to stop, others dig it though And they're cool Stop acting like some little hoes and make room I'll throw a book in your face, give me my space To put a mic stand, macbook, KRK's The only place I've been calling my base is these 808's If you ask, I'll just say that I'm A-OK buddy I hope that I don't fade away as my fate awaits for me So many nights I spent with an achin' tummy Sitting back and making money waiting for this sh** to... Ah man [Hook: Art Morera] This message is for the elephant in my room I think I understand you now [Verse 4: Art Morera] You rappers need to find some new rhyme schemes I hear what you're saying but none of you enlighten me I mean, damn what a bummer, I've added to your numbers To just be silent, I stood there feeling number Than I was before Couldn't bob my head, not one thought was fed My brain's starving to d**h If I retweet, I'm defeated, through all the gossip it spreads My timeline gave me reason for me to unfollow friends Too much on my plate to feed my mind silly trends Y'all are grown men and women, when will this end? Think of your children Look at your kid's face and switch places Think of your parents back when you were her or his age They were your heroes weren't they? Mine still are Bet they bump the same music 'til this current day As for who you are, homie play your roll like two R's together I bet you're like 'Do your job and let us do ours, you don't know me' I don't have to homie I don't gotta smoke the weed for me to know if it's OG So please, G-O get on your J-O-B Bust a move like Nat Geo, spin a globe, good lord! Wordplay galore, it's the allure, who is this? Art Morera, you ain't heard this before Raise your fist, we in a war, thats pen or sword bruh Sometimes the illest cats don't get record deals or win awards [Hook: Art Morera] This message is for the elephant in my room I think I understand you now
