lyrics

Hey
Don't be so worried about tomorrow
That you're always in hurry to finish with today
It seems like you got lot's of dreams
about who'll you'll be and the places you'll see
but don't cha know that they're all gonna slip away?

Now I know what you're probably thinking
But I'll never remember what you're trying to say
so you might as well fuckin' chill on that
Still, when you're ship has sailed and you've decided to stay
well l hope you'll remember your old friend BK

And I think frankly you've made a grave mistake in craving
Sick days and paid vacations
instead of trying saving your generation
I think you're wasting your inspiration
Some of the questions you're asking have no explanations
They're baseless
and I've got no more time to find your great big revelations

Don't understand my frustration
Cuz I couldn't give a damn if you did
I'm complacent
I hope every memory you have what remains exactly the the way it tasted
because there's no way to escape this
even the greatest things we savor
are all gonna slip away.

See, regrettably
every memory
we made became just an effigy
that we'll split down the center to be burned separately
that's acceptable
though I wish I could have kept one of the especially special pieces next to me
those were the seeds of ecstasy

But I'd be a hypocrite If i guarded my treasure endlessly
So everything I love, envy or cherish I'm gonna set it free

When I slip away
and I don't know
Maybe we should love each other
like one,
another
Let's just shut up about everything we suffered
and slip away
Tell me when you've had enough
and then we'll skip today
I don't give shit to play
I'm just a young nigga trying to get

Good, we square
I'd don't even care if you care that I don't care
Tell me what you really need when you don't breathe air
beware
you could be a millionaire
Or gather a million prayers
But I swear that's all gonna slip away

So you better prepare for what we all share
and I'll be there when you face despair
Still singing the same "I don't care" song
and that's not fair, it's wrong
but I can't give a damn so
so long
because I am what I am
A man.
Hell,
Life doesn't seem so long when ya gone
And until that point this is just something to dwell on
Dwell on
Before you slip away

You
weigh me down
with what's hurtin' you
when you can't explain
what's hurtin me
and even though this is so personal
you shouldn't take it so personally
it wasn't what it was supposed to be
My love was murdered in the first degree
Now it's locked away plotting ways to burst free
I loved, I lost
I lust
at a cost
My trust
was was tossed aside
there were some crossed lines
but pay it no mind
It's all over
no closure
Composure turned frost
The light has gone off.
and it was all in vain
I wrote her a love song.
and she told me i'm insane.
