lyrics

Under weather
Wonder whether
Today's alright
Take my time
Under weather
Feel right
Feel right
Feel right
Does it only count if you're winnin'
Can't dim yourself for a dimwit
To each his own you need check your sodium
I get weary if they preachin' from a podium
Sometimes you put in you get back a dud
One drip of venom can thicken your blood
Some things you just gotta nip in the bud
I know the value it's right out the mud
Another human subject hustle on the curst
A little time for me yeah that's a must
Feelin' like a brother really never rest
Have you ever seen the peak of Everest

Real life
On the outside
Got me this time
Caught me up
Now I'm in it
Feel like
Smokin' at night
Closin' my eyes
For a minute

Long days short nights
Tall in a small room
Okay it's okay
Low rent's high-priced
I pay like all we do
Some way Sundays
Wanna buckle under weight from worry
For the week to come
Worry eats the moment
Wish it'd leave me some
Wishes weigh less than I'd like
Comin' up light
The scale's wrong
Been busy man we're always on the run
I know work is never endin'
Could you call me when you're done
Hard to leave in darkness
When you started with the sun
Said you started feelin' numb
Miss the star that you are from
But please stay patient
For more daylight
When we stop racin'
The wheel turns right

Real life
On the outside
Got me this time
Caught me up
Now I'm in it
Feel like
Smokin' at night
Closin' my eyes
For a minute
