We're an existential species Love and money on our minds If we don't get one or another We get sad as you will find And as you find That these two items Seem to make the best of us go blind While the rest of us get high And attempt to free our minds But I got a feeling That this world is more complex than it seems We got common people Always thinking they the next to succeed I got hazy visions of women under the influence of weed How bout we slow down time, give you a chance to believe Cuz when my time is up I don't want to be wishing for Another chance at life Wondering why I didn't do more I spend my nights awake Most times I'm in the bed by four And if it were up to me though I wouldn't go to sleep no more But I need some rest God damn it we all need to rest Cuz everyone in this whole establishment Seems to get upset When things don't go the way That they do on their favorite movie set The nature of our business Is not one that you can second guess And if I confess my love For what people deem as heresy I just wanted to get a taste Of something that's been hidden from me A little bite of that forbidden fruit dangling from the tree And smoke it up the way that it was intended to be And for a minute there I thought that I had lost my mind I'm looking down on Earth Just like I left my life behind I start to wonder Why the world is just so f**ing blind And I feel that I'm a part of it Cuz who the f** am …? Time after time Line after line It's time I find Some peace of mind Dime after dime I'm getting mine I spend my days Getting blazed In various ways It's just a lackadaisical phase What do you want me to say? I'm in a stage of my life Where things aren't where they need to be I need some change in my life The worst has got the best of me I don't need more f**ing time I'm sure I'll get there eventually And in the event that I die Make sure they bury me with Plenty of coins To pay these tolls for my roundtrip journey Float across the River Styx and back Kicked out cuz I was only really high But not dead I think I went to space instead Chilled out upon my bed With counterfeit Beats headphones on my head Remember when I told you Things could never be the same? And then you shrugged me off Cuz you refused to take the blame? Yea, I know the difference Between an old friend and a play thing So let me stretch my mind a bit And lift off to the astral plane Time after time Night after night I try to find Some peace of mind With whatever comes through When I light Hey! It's just my luck I would lose something I started to like But now I'm wide awake for the first time in my entire life
