Eyedea, Abilities - Pushing Buttons lyrics

I dug deep in my system
To find nutrition for others
Lost sleep, tossed and turned
Only to learn love is expensive
Talk was cheap, till my thoughts grew feet
Now I take them on walks with me
But, I don't let them off the leash
Cause they might cross the street and get hit
Listen a second
I pretended to need a friendship
With many forms of energy
Till everyone repented
Now I'll end this with a sentence and a
Sense has become a way of life
To stay the night with my notebook
Then wake up the next day to write
Again, and again
And again and again and again and again
Until my pen is inevitably inseparable
From my finger skin
Lingering in the depths of a


Pool caressing this jewel
Fighting a million and ten
Inner battles that'll
Sprain my neck in the duels
Bobbing my head to keep cool, true
Stays on the down low
Meaning proof for the bleeding
Isn't useful in the council
Meaning it's cheaper what you believe to
Be the dopest at the moment
I'm exceeding the quotient and
Feeding me tokens
But the machine must be broken

Cause, I'd rather give him a uppercut
Than give him a hook
So he steady throwing jabs just
To get him to look
Man, every thought he ever had
Quietly sit's in his book
For anyone that's afraid to jump
Let me give him a push
Cause, I'd Rather give him a uppercut
Than give him a hook
So I'm steady throwing jabs just
To get him to look
Every thought I ever had quietly
Sit's in his book
For anyone that's afraid to jump
Let me give him a push

From the North side to the South side
To the wild side to the pesticide
To the genocide to the homicide
You decide to set aside
Well, pick a side, any side
Are you along just for the ride?
Oh me oh me oh my, I wish you would just die
Cause kid
You're the reason for my sore throat
Petty mortal
The war won't stop till you hop in a porthole
And sort those problems out, child
It ain't all about your style
Cause you could break your back to state
The facts and make them smile
While the pain in my religion
Painting by the pigeons
Straining while you're listening to my
Brain on tire ribbons
Giving a splitting headache
With energetic delivery
Living as a poetic shredded by
The edge of misery
Vividly describing the pain inside
Of this entity physically and mentally
We all pretend to need sympathy
Interesting enough
You say you don't give a what
But there's much I grew to like
Through this mic that I clutch
So keep your hands down
And put your attention span up
Understand now, man
Sound is a dimension you can't touch
Plants crush, when the vocals of that local
Named Eyedea hit your ear
So kid ditch your chair and stand up

Because I'd rather give him a uppercut
Than give him a hook
So I'm steady throwing jabs just
To get him to look
Every thought I ever had quietly
Sit's in his book
For anyone that's afraid to jump
Let me give him a push
Rather give him a uppercut than
Give him a hook
So I'm steady throwing jabs just
To get him to look
Every thought I ever had quietly
Sit's in his book
For anyone that's afraid to jump
Let me give you a push

But bury my mind with a friendship
Bracelet and a tin can
Get your business down and dig me up
Outta the ground when you get rich, man
I'll take a round of applause
But won't take no kids hand
Cause the challenge tonight is to balance
My bike without a kickstand
Now a spoon full of sugar
Makes the medicine go down
In a room full of hookers
Well my head isn't in town
I consume what you, shoulda
And assume that the lookers
See the moon and the fact they pushing you
To do more than push a broom to cushion
Tune rolls to your head
And enables you to see
There really is more to life than
Busting nuts and smoking weed
But we proceed to say it ain't
Fair until we got gray hair
But next time I ask you to think, please
Don't give me a blank stare now take care!

Yo, cause I'd rather give him a
Uppercut than give him a hook
So I'm steady throwing jabs just
To get him to look
Every thought I ever had quietly
Sit's in his book
For anyone that's afraid to jump
Let me give you a
Give you a, push it up now, push it up
Push it up now! Push it up
Lemme see them hands, people (Push em up now)

So push it up now! So push it up now!
So push it up, so push it up now!
