Oddisee - Like Really lyrics
[Oddisee - Like Really lyrics]
Why you want to catch my eye
When you already know that I'm taken?
(nah like really)
How you past due on payments
And I'm seeing you on vacation?
(nah like really)
How you gonna make us great
When we were never really that amazing?
(nah like really) take it back to what
I don't find hanging black lives entertaining
(nah like really)
How do you police the streets of a
Neighborhood you do not engage in?
(nah like really)
Why a brother get three for a sack while
Your brother go free for a raping?
(nah like really)
How you make a film about Egypt
With all leading roles caucasian?
(nah like really)
How you saying all lives matter
When the stats say we are not adjacent?
(nah like really)
Tell me if I got it all wrong
Like I signed on the line but
I didn't read the form
And the fine print is all
About the times we mourn
And the color of my skin
Means I gotta be strong
And your hand me down faith
Said if I was reborn
When I take my last breath that
You'll let me breathe on
And as of right now we could never be pals
So how are we supposed to get along?
(nah like really)
This now more than ever though
All about force and measure though
(nah like really)
Why am I forced to let it go
And clean your messes though?
(nah like really) you take jobs to Mexico
Pay us less and lesser though
(nah like really)
Promised to bring them back
And that problem gets the vote
(nah like really)
Really, really, really, really
Really, really, really, really, really
Really, really, really like
I be on the grind all day
I don't pay mind to the date
(nah like really) missed call vibrate
I find most times it could wait
(nah like really)
I don't talk blue in the face
Just to make movement in place
(nah like really)
Out of breath watching other man steps and
You wonder why you’re losing the race
(nah like really) i was sleeping on floors
Making bread instead of bed on tour man
(nah like really)
If you ain't never cry about a loss
Don't speak about the situation you’re in
(nah like really)
I ain't got a big deal but I'm still
A big deal and I feel important
(nah like really) yeah, you got a big deal
Running on a big wheel
I ain't with extorting (nah like)
Yeah I'm independent and I'm
Making hella noise
And I'll never let a woman make
A Helen out of Troy
Got no suckers in the circle
That pretend to be boys
I don't lend them an extension
I just send them decoys
Chilling in the cut is when
I'm really feeling voids
'Cause the movements getting muted and
It really needs a voice
We're just picking between the evils of
The lethals and the liars
People tired and they really need a voice
(nah like really)
This now more than ever though
All about force and measure though
(nah like really)
This that calm collected flow
Done right, wrong correctional
(nah like really)
Enough about peace and blessings bro
I want that deeper message though
(nah like really)
If you on top that surface
Drop that lesson though, preach
(nah like really)
Really, really, really, really
Really, really, really, really, really
Really, really, really
Really, really, really, really (really)
Really, really, really, really, really
Really, really, really
(really, really, really)
When you already know that I'm taken?
