Paper Money

Get off my back
Feeling under attack
You're talking shit
But you'll get bit
Cause you don't think, you only blame
The changing of hands, choosing me to blame
I've been working hard, didn't do a thing to you
But you like to bitch when it suits you
Accusatory mumbles, lies to my face
And if I'm not the problem, someone in my place
It never fucking ends, you feed your hate
No time for this, got too much on my fucking plate
I wanna leave
But it'll be the same
Cause people shift
But they rarely change
Paper money sucks, buys you a lie
But it doesn't improve how you feel inside
Got you chasing that carrot on a stick
But they don't tell you that it's slathered in shit
Accusatory mumbles, lies to my face
And if I'm not the problem, someone in my place
It never fucking ends, you feed your hate
No time for this, got too much on my fucking plate
Will you let it rot you out?
Get off my back
Feeling under attack
You're talking shit
But you'll get bit
Cause you don't think, you only blame
The changing of hands, choosing me to blame

All or Nothin'

Restless days, obsessive ways
Distractions in my cave
Fuck off man, the tension's high
Don't ask me, I don't know why
Maybe I'm tired of myself
Maybe it's my mental health
Stop the questions, increase the speed
Play till my fingers bleed
Rattle off and vent it out
All the way with no pullouts
The three of us, the fucking crew
We'll slam on you, you go do you
We do what we like to do
Don't take any requests from you
Drink or not, have a good time
Won't fuck with yours, don't fuck with mine
This is how I choose to deal
Made to play and this is how I feel
Three motherfuckers with nothing to prove
Except to do what they fucking do
Turn it up and shut 'em down
Hyper-focused on the sound
Of three motherfuckers with nothing to prove
Except to do what they fucking do
We like to sweat and we like to yell
Step to the front and raise some hell
Coast to coast, we're bangin' in your ear
Ain't gonna tell you what you wanna hear
Five years we've been at it again
Don't hold back, we play to win
Hard-ass work, and no flake outs
Ain't got no time for doubts
We do what we like to do
Don't take any requests from you
So put us on, turn us up
We are unanimous
This is how I choose to deal
Made to play and this is how I feel
Three motherfuckers with nothing to prove
Except to do what they fucking do
All or nothing

Reconnect
02:38

You never call, but you always got something to say
A captive audience waiting on your every word
Bunch of fakes with no thoughts of your own
Social media call-out culture, but it ain't real
Sick of you and all your posturing
Never had the luxury of blending in, no
Like to connect and share something real
Never could try to fake the way I feel
Phony lives and phony friends
Woah oh oh
Wish we could learn to start over again
Reconnect and start a better trend
Woah oh oh
Wish we could learn to start over again
I remember when it all was just a joke
Social media, addition to your active social life, yeah
Now we got news and politics, we like to front
Like we're righteous sons of bitches, it's a bunch of fucking bullshit
When's the last time you did the hard thing
Had a conversation, tried to get some understanding
It's all a sing-a-long, singing two different songs
We all gotta have it our way
Phony lives and phony friends
Woah oh oh
Wish we could learn to start over again
Reconnect and start a better trend
Woah oh oh
Wish we could learn to start over again
Reconnect and start a better trend
Woah oh oh
Wish we could learn to start over again
Phony lives and phony friends
Woah oh oh
Wish we could learn to start over again
Reconnect and start a better trend
Woah oh oh
Wish we could learn to start over again

Ego
04:08
|

I think about in the days of old
How your words used to mean something
Now you can't trust a thing you say
Right now, it's "us" against "them"
If you're cutthroat and you're smart
You'll get rewarded with a heap of praise
But even with everything going on
I don't pine for those old days
If I try to be understood, then I'll be misquoted
If I reach for sympathy, then I'll be ignored
Looking out for yourself is a trap we fall in
No matter why we're lonely
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I think about all the time I've spent
Wishing you'd act a different way
You never care about anyone else
And you've got to have your say
It's gonna be what it's gonna be
I just wish it'd all end soon
When everyone's fed up with your ego
Tell me then what you're gonna do
If I try to be understood, then I'll be misquoted
If I reach for sympathy, then I'll be ignored
Looking out for yourself is a trap we fall in
No matter why we're lonely
Say what you mean
Mean what you say

Force of Will
04:34

Enemy inside of me
Taking all my energy
Draining all the positive
Replacing with negative
Fighting with myself again
Not letting the demon win
But the voice is fucking loud
Mind fogged up by heavy clouds
Weakening my focus and my will
But I'm fighting my way through it still
Voices telling me that I'm a fraud
There's nothing about me to applaud
Pathing your own way takes time
Perseverance and a solid mind
Can't lose my humanity
Change the world if it were up to me
Cause the world is a cold, harsh place
Much like the human race
Won't abandon my principles
To become a soulless fool
So you can judge away, it won't change a thing
Social media's just a fling
So I'll preserve my truth and wear it on my sleeve
No matter if it's lonely, I just wanna be
Real with myself, that's all I have
