lyrics

“Chillano” MG to ft Nave

--Genesis-
I be singing to myself
when I know the doors are locked, and
I be dancing in the mirror
when I know nobody's watching
the monitors are bumping
every moment that i'm home
but i'm honestly not
actually often on my own
so I separate myself
like I live for the road
all I talk about's the ride
but nobody's seen me drive
hide behind the wheel
with a passion I conceal
for fear of it being real
and what it would make it feel
persevering through the bad
shit and madness to make
it to the happiness and
never let you know I'm hurting
since it's not your fucking burden
but your limited knowledge
doesn't make me indestructable
understand that I am human
like I understand you man
I ain't got a plan
I just chill and play it smart
and I don't waste the time
if it won't require heart
out a breath and brain dead
sucked up into a computer
and forgot to break bread
you must be something stupid
mindless and useless
wait, let me think
you feel stuck too kid
we're divided by walls
toughing through similar shit
blind to each others trouble
numb to there struggle and loss
over focused on our own bubble and
what indecision will cost
so please tell me brother
how can I lend I hand
I can leave a place to land
when I can't be there to catch you
we won't always just agree
but understand that I respect you
and if you choose to move on
I won't forget you

--Nave and Genesis--
Maybe it's just me
but it's interesting
how we live separate lives
and feel the same things
but never understand
what it's like...
for anyone else
to fight...
(x4)

--Nave--
Pulling the bark off the trees
so I can roll the leaves
We all know life
Aint as easy as it seems
but wait... 
does it even seem easy to you
cause everyday i gotta dance
While I'm queazy with the flu
keep a blanket on my shoulders
even when I'm feeling cool
or cold
I been lost on the road
Not knowing where i should go
Shit I'm still there  looking
Feeling like a housewife
Stuck in the kitchen cooking
The fridge doors open
Im over here pushinga
Just mopped the floors
I'm falling without cushion 
Loosing my grip
Bout to slip
On this trip
We call life
I thank God before i fell 
My slimy hand dropped the knife
Yea its funny right?
How these things happen
Put me on a cereal box
Crunch-i-tize me Capt'n
Nah that will never happen 
So I'm drinkin captain
Morgan
Soaring 
Flooring the fuckin throttle
Until I'm done with that 
oversized bottle
to make hollow
Definition of meditation
Ever since 1st grade 
i needed medication
But i never took it
Im cool with who i am
And you already know 
You the fuckin man

--Genesis and Nave--
Maybe it's just me
but it's interesting
how we live separate lives
and feel the same things
but never understand
what it's like...
for anyone else
to fight...
(x4)

--Genesis--
When you don't know where to go
-I'm feeling a little lost
you can turn your speakers on
-Go on turn 'em on
when you don't know where to go
-I'm feeling a little lost too
you can turn your speakers up
-Go on turn 'em up

--Nave--
when you don't know where to
run or hide
you can bump this
all night
turn your speakers to
the max
and everything is
alright
(x2)
