What keeps me going when the world like this
I don’t know I guess I’m holding on 
to something like hope I guess
What’s a dream if you’re never really woke
But death
pardon me I’m just laughing 
cause there’s no jokes left

Hey is it too late to not not give a f*ck? 
The planet is hot my brain is rotting 
my penis is shriveling up
I’m stuck in the house I’m stuffing my mouth 
I haven’t seen humans in months
If this isn’t acid this is my last trip
Life is a terrible drug
Psychedelic shit
Everything I know is irrelevant 
now that you mention it
Horny and celibate
My dick is irrelevant
FaceTime is the closest
That we will ever get
To tell you the truth my brain got no room
For a pink ass elephant
Twisted like good rope
Hung like good folk
It’s all relatives
Swinging from the branches of the government
Woah
Hey, i’m so woke I forgot to dream
It was something about the top of a mountain
Shit, tighten the noose, it slips my memory.
Black blood is raining like it’s entertainment
And it’s all a nightmare to me
The future called, it wants 20/20 back
If we can Nazi/not see

So woke we forgot to dream
(This is an awkward scene) 
Look, I like categories as much as the next fantasy
But, paging Dr. King
Look, unity is soon to be written in an obit
And the only thing to get us together is Covid?
(Trash) 
Hi I’m not violent but my words are loaded
Can I borrow sugar to coat ‘em? 
(Mask) 

What keeps me going when the world like this
I don’t know I guess I’m holding on 
to something like hope I guess
What’s a dream if you’re never really woke
But death
pardon me I’m just laughing 
cause there’s no jokes left

Today aristocrats chanting “good vibes only”
While the hood dies slowly
In the periphery (who wants to see misery)
Peasants be bumming my pleasantries
Create realities with New Age recipes:
“Get poor people out my space“
Crystals and salads and magic midwifery
This is a symphony - we are all Tiffany
(Face)
This is how victory look 
this is the system when shook
Power the people
The winners are writing the history books
F*ck all the versus for good
Forever we singing the hook
Sorry I’m late I was pressing my luck
Is it too late to not not not not give a f*ck?
Uh... 
The pendulum swings from awful to dumb
And we have to sit there 
and let them think they won
And they tend to win nothing but sentiment
100 percent of the time
Not enough to commit them to penitence
So it swings by empathy, elegance,
Righteousness, grace - 
All made irrelevant
Wisdom replaced
With a limitless innocence... 
Now citizens, feminists to gentlemen, 
left to right, I propose we act like night is eminent...
Ah! 

What keeps me going when the world like this
I don’t know I guess I’m holding on 
to something like hope I guess
What’s a dream if you’re never really woke
But death
pardon me I’m just laughing 
cause there’s no jokes left

What keeps me going, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me here
What keeps, what keeps me going
What keeps me going, what keeps me going.
