KeepTellingYourselfThat Lyrics by BONES

Useless

2016

[Intro]
What?

[Verse 1]
The boy in the bubble, the furthest from trouble
When I look at you, it's like damn (Damn)
You give me sympathy practically instantly
I feel so bad, like, how could I be mad?
You on some shit I don't want (Want)
You on some shit I done did (Did)
We all got idols but don't feel too high up
And fall to an untimely end (End)
Go ahead out with your friends (Friends)
I'ma stay in and make ends (Ends)
Meet, like a blind date
Fuck what the time say
If it ain't five to SESH then I can't
You yet to see the best that I can
Earth will end if BONES get uncanned
Sherpa lined everything, let them see every stain
Fifty-nine everyday, burnt to the membrane
Flashback slumped in the breezeway (Breezeway)
Thinkin' I can't do this shit forever (Ever)
Fuck doing their way, I'ma go my way
Hundred highways not long enough for my race
I'ma take it further than that
All these pussies think they take it further than rap, no
You take it nowhere quick, nobody give a fuck 'bout the money that you get
And if you convince yourself any different
It's safe to say you gone and been missing
Off in a land I could have predicted
Molded by thoughts of those who don't get you

[Interlude]
The scum has arisen (What, what?)
And, no, bitch, don't tempt me (Don't tempt me)
'Cause I have been patiently waiting for my time to lose it
Please, come and offend me (Damn)

[Verse 2]
Feeling something like Larry David
Observe the world and then I get to shamin'
Shit go wrong, I'm the one they blamin'
While the rest get on stage and they blow it like Kramer
Stranger-stranger, who really stranger?
'Cause I don't know you but I know my anger
Worried 'bout your album, say you need more bangers
BONES never approach that ledge with danger
Say you a star, end the conversation
Me and my brothers make the constellation
I'ma get it now, I'm far from patient
Can't sit still, I forever go crazy
The store clerk know what I need when I walk in
Who bought out the bricks first night that they got in?
Who got what they need when they need it? I'll drop hints
I'm pointing all over, like, I promise it's not him
