Oddisee - Word To The Wise lyrics

[Hook] Running red lights cause there's nobody around No one to hear my speakers, do they even make a sound? Preaching to the choir, no one is there to see it I don't talk about change, I just try to be it That's word to the wise, word to the wise That's word to the wise, word to the wise That's word to the wise, word to the wise That's word to the wise, word to the wise [Verse 1] You ever tried to bring some people with you To a place you tryna get to And all along the way that you cut a clearing They sharpenin' sticks spearing to get you And throwing at a rate that is faster than they'll forget you I got a couple round me surrounding this very moment Fear not I'm in the know of exactly who holds the pistol Well here's a message for you if you're listening I am the one that gave you the gun that's why you missing And you can take your turn and check your engine You, I gave you your start A super monster only ended you, now go play your part As I watch know-it-alls try to roll with the art They going nowhere, no one know us we're smart Prolly not, cause who really learns their lessons Not mad at our own deceptions Just angry cause we had in possession to holding weapons Toss that burner and no further are you from a cause that turned you to a loss Self murder, go! [Hook] [Verse 2] I just found a pot to piss in A lot was missing till the options started popping Kicked in, the door like I wasn't ready for intruders To a house made out of mirrors with gla** ceiling illusions Might have begin to tear up, might have begin to tear up My nose start to flare up, I'm not afraid of improvement I'm at the intersection where all lights are green Yet I'm only seeing red cause my anger's got a direction Driving into a tree, I'm colliding right into me And surviving to tell the tale, how this rhyming comes into be It's the process yeah, I do the knowledge yeah You get to witness my exhibit for a modest fee But your interpretation keep it to yourself though Because how you think I'm feeling how I felt though Try to tell me about me as if I ever doubt me Whole time I never been without me You see? Go! [Hook]
