[AJJ - People II 2: Still Peoplin' lyrics]
If you've been kicked in or
Abused or mistreated or misused
You were told there is nowhere to
Go but up for you
If you've been hurt or you've been betrayed
Or you've been fucked or
You've been displaced you were told it was
Probably your fault anyway
But when your Hustler subscription
And your Xanax prescriptions
Make you feel lonelier instead
You don't want to hear about
All those starving children
You don't want to be told
It's all in your head
'Cause if it's all in your head
That's terrible
I saw a junkie lying in a puddle
Of his own blood last week
I saw a cyclist get hit by a car
I saw a homeless guy chug a
Bottle of mouthwash on Christmas Eve
No, you can never fall too far
You can buy a salad glove
You can buy an iPod
And you can sell that shit to Bookmans when
Your wife dies and you lose your job
You can hope it gets better
You can follow your dreams
But hope is for presidents and dreams
Are for people who are sleeping
My friend Aaron says it best
"We're all two or three bad decisions away
From becoming the ones that we fear and pity"
And Toni says it's important to bear
Some witness when you can
And that's not hard to do in
The city that I live in
You don't have it any better
You don't have it any worse
You're an irreplaceable human soul
With your own
Understanding of what it means to suffer
And that's a huge bummer
Abused or mistreated or misused
You were told there is nowhere to
Go but up for you
If you've been hurt or you've been betrayed
Or you've been fucked or
You've been displaced you were told it was
Probably your fault anyway
But when your Hustler subscription
And your Xanax prescriptions
Make you feel lonelier instead
You don't want to hear about
All those starving children
You don't want to be told
It's all in your head
'Cause if it's all in your head
That's terrible
I saw a junkie lying in a puddle
Of his own blood last week
I saw a cyclist get hit by a car
I saw a homeless guy chug a
Bottle of mouthwash on Christmas Eve
No, you can never fall too far
You can buy a salad glove
You can buy an iPod
And you can sell that shit to Bookmans when
Your wife dies and you lose your job
You can hope it gets better
You can follow your dreams
But hope is for presidents and dreams
Are for people who are sleeping
My friend Aaron says it best
"We're all two or three bad decisions away
From becoming the ones that we fear and pity"
And Toni says it's important to bear
Some witness when you can
And that's not hard to do in
The city that I live in
You don't have it any better
You don't have it any worse
You're an irreplaceable human soul
With your own
Understanding of what it means to suffer
And that's a huge bummer
