Desperation

from Why Not? by Frank John James

/

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Desperation is defined in a simple way
Different limits everybody got a time and place
Some reach it some don't, do it matter though?
They make us feel every time like we had a vote
We never had it though, time was always tickin' slow
Nothing ever happened I was askin' what we sittin for
Let's get a plan down, let's demand now
I can be a part of it, without you we a man down
I'll up my workload I can be responsible
Kinda like, hell integrating with the tropical
It's nonsense to the tenth degree
And every time they bomb shit I think they comin' for me
But I'm just paranoid, I learnt a lot of shit
Plantation-like still bet you that they got a whip
I got a lot of this, and yes a lot of that
And for the record got dimensions I ain't gotta rap

(Verse 2)
I guess it's easy if you never really thought about it
If you ain't got it then it's hard to give a fuck about it
It's a damn shame but dammit I got bills to pay
You say you sick of it and yet you never get away
I hope for intermission, I hate the repetition
It's like tryin' to cook, in an empty kitchen
I got the pots and pans, and even recipes
I'm trynna cook motherfucker won't you rest in peace?
I feel my brows low, and in my neck tense
I couldn't picture anybody makin' less sense
And when my rent's due, I wanna hit you
Matter fact the whole town's kinda pissed too
We at your front door, we got no price now
Unification mothafucka we won't lie down
Keep your money we don't want another one of those
He started laughin' looked around to find myself alone

(Verse 3)
It's not a question motherfucker it's a state of mind
I can't avoid it it was destined since I took my time
I tried to explain and help, maybe ease the pain
It's not the same we view it different this is not a game
So primitive with philosophy so limited
I can tell the truth it's just they make it look so intricate
I know I said it last time but it ain't happen yet
It's gettin' worse by the day it's why I haven't left
I don't need a gun, I need an audience
I'll say the word you'll find the outcome to be obvious
Don't ever think I'll ever be another lost cause
For I exist as a response due to all our flaws
I'll say it loud and clear, fuck the fame and fear!
Matter fact I think I really fuckin' hate it here
Gimme the gun back, I'll take enough back
And when I'm done I'll fuckin' leave and never come back
