Mello Music Group - Brick Walls & Blurry Faces lyrics

[Verse 1] I just spent the past 200 years Convincin' the stubborn devil my brain was smart as his How you think he reacted? Typically He was on the move and speeding along the way So to him I was nothin' but another blurry face Do you mind [?] goin' about your day? Nah, you mind your own and find you a parking space True, I could walk around like Walter [?] [?] pistol inside the huntin' vest Mounted on the axe as it flies off the handle Fighting fire with fire but all I got is this lighter Tough, safari through the concrete jungle Where the easiest thing to get into is trouble I watched a young woman feed her leather faced favorite Poverty and luck had him chained to the pavement I just kinda stood there, gawkin' with amazement I see these guys all the time, I never knew their faces Stark realization made the racin' feet freeze With a life this short, I guess we move at warp speed [Verse 2] Dawg you used to be the man, back in the days If I had a dime for every time that I said that phrase I'd have money pilin' higher than the sky in the bank Prolly on an island smilin', layin' up in the shade Instead my pockets empty, watchin' many people fail Hype trains derailed, relationships that never sailed When you're young you never can tell But always learn who's fake when it gets real The side effect of movin' fast is you hurry places And those you see along your path have blurry faces You never slow down enough to learn who's who Beyond the superficial looks and what they can do for you Now you're stuck, down on your luck, time sunk Deeper than the shallow friends that really didn't give a f** No lookin' back when your rearview's fogged up It's a cold world, better turn that defrost up
