Oddisee - Many Hats lyrics
[Oddisee - Many Hats lyrics]
To many people I’m many things
But never me and that’s
Beginning to bare strain
My mother‘s hands, my father's shoulders
My friend's ears
I don’t complain I just pretend
I’m in the clear
Disappear when at my worst I hide in work
Owe my career to turning hurt into ideas
To persevere’s a double edge I run ahead
Then double back cause what
A fled still interferes
Two stepping off the pivot been a traveler
Before I was a passеnger
My baggage was just adding up
Blowing up becamе a star but as it happened
Feared of getting 86'ed any
Second like the Challenger
I know enough how to hold a
Bluff when the going's tough
Feel like collapsing but hold it
Up for show and such
Wear many hats but no graduation
To throw it up all I know is clutch
All right baby, all right baby
Keep it moving, don’t stop
Keep it moving, don’t stop
All right baby, all right baby
Keep it moving, don’t stop
Keep it moving, don’t stop
These are crazy times we’re living in
Adam probably said that after God created him
We retell the same sagas of our great fathers
But they ain’t harder you just
Bothered by the same events
I feel my greatest attribute is
Why I’m lacking too
Free from opinions so I never
Learned to pack truth
Disagree with the consensus and
They’re after you, what comes after you
My experience and narrative
A dissonance apparent
If you listen there’s an error
Try to skip it when I’m scared
My depiction paint it fairer
Can’t resist a quick repair
Not a lie if you believe it
Won’t admit when I’m embarrassed
Never tried to be deceiving
But the pride in me misleading
When you hide that you’re depleted
People line up a share
When they take an arm and leg
Wonder if they see me bleeding
But they don’t and I repeat what
Got me sewing what I wear
All right baby, all right baby
Keep it moving, don’t stop
Keep it moving, don’t stop
All right baby, all right baby
Keep it moving, don’t stop
Keep it moving, don’t stop
But never me and that’s
Beginning to bare strain
My mother‘s hands, my father's shoulders
My friend's ears
I don’t complain I just pretend
I’m in the clear
Disappear when at my worst I hide in work
Owe my career to turning hurt into ideas
To persevere’s a double edge I run ahead
Then double back cause what
A fled still interferes
Two stepping off the pivot been a traveler
Before I was a passеnger
My baggage was just adding up
Blowing up becamе a star but as it happened
Feared of getting 86'ed any
Second like the Challenger
I know enough how to hold a
Bluff when the going's tough
Feel like collapsing but hold it
Up for show and such
Wear many hats but no graduation
To throw it up all I know is clutch
All right baby, all right baby
Keep it moving, don’t stop
Keep it moving, don’t stop
All right baby, all right baby
Keep it moving, don’t stop
Keep it moving, don’t stop
These are crazy times we’re living in
