Rhymefest - Familiar Faces lyrics
[Rhymefest - Familiar Faces lyrics]
"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow"
They say don't put off tomorrow
What you could finish today
(I say) The rest of your
Life's only seconds away
(I rate) Success of a life
By decisions we make
(I hate) The fact that they
Judge every step we take
(I can't) Wait for the Lord
Revelation's my fate
(I paint) Pictures with words, fuchsia
Teals and greys
(I shine) Hot as the sun you can feel my rays
No wait you can feel my rage
I'm burning inside
Nobody can speak my language
We all wanna be different
But we doing the same shit
Wear the same clothes, same chains, same cars
Got the same goals, wanna be the same stars
Same heart break, we carry the same scars
I carry the same scars
And when you finally made it
It's no real friends, just smiling faces
Does it start on our birth day?
Half of us wasn't planned in the first place
Other half of us was
Given everything they got
There you have it, the have and the have nots
I was born on a black spot
My life's a plane this song is the black box
Put it on, heed it
In the final five minute's of a genius
The world will never see it never believe it
It's in our palms but we can't seize it
Within our reach but we don't reach it
Don't tell me that I can't be it
I haven't won till it ain't even
I ain't leaving till I ain't breathing
No apologies, no tears no emotions, no fears
Look at my face you can't even see the years
But carved in the tree are
The words "I was here"
No one can tell you what you oughta be
(My) My silent thoughts are heard audibly
(It's) It's like people don't have
To talk to me
Their body language speaks louder just
When they crossing me
Brushing me, bumping me, touching me
I can feel their energy
Hating me, loving me, cocaine and Hennessy
Mix it with ego's, music, models and industry
It's hard to separate reality from fantasy
So does it matter if I'm here or not?
If no one's around, could you hear the shot?
Would my father miss me
You think a tear would drop?
And would the world stop spinning
And the clock stop? I think not
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow"
They say don't put off tomorrow
What you could finish today
(I say) The rest of your
Life's only seconds away
(I rate) Success of a life
By decisions we make
(I hate) The fact that they
Judge every step we take
(I can't) Wait for the Lord
Revelation's my fate
(I paint) Pictures with words, fuchsia

No wait you can feel my rage
I'm burning inside
Nobody can speak my language
We all wanna be different
But we doing the same shit
Wear the same clothes, same chains, same cars
Got the same goals, wanna be the same stars
Same heart break, we carry the same scars
I carry the same scars
