Immediate Gratification Lyrics by The Philharmonik

The Philharmonik

[Verse 1]
There's days where I just want to make it
But all that shit seems overrated
My mama told me to never listen to the shit you see on television
I just want it all then I get it all on the low
Like I already don't have enough, please (Give me more)
This shit is getting outta control
I don't know who I am anymore, please (Give me more)
I never want to have to worry
Can't you see I'm in a hurry, please (Give me more)
'Cause I can't take this shit anymore
[Hook]
Why do we want what we can't have
The things that we lack are the things we want bad
Then we get what we have and we treat it like trash
Like we don't give a damn I swear this world has gone mad
[Verse 2]
I'm a conflicted ass motherfucker
I get one thing and move on to the next one
Learn that lesson and forget the message
Make that next level then want something better
And after I reach it I enjoy the season
See a new thing like "Hey! Nice to meet ya"
Find meaning in it like "Yeah, you's a keeper"
Then forget the reason like "I don't need ya"
I can't stand when I look in the mirror
'Cause I always see two people when I make an appearance
Like "Who the fuck are you? And who the hell did you bring with?"
Like those demons in the mirror don't be hurtin' my figure
Man goddamn
Am I that selfish that I want to do more than sell rock like Elvis?
I'm just tryna find my place of contentment
If there's an answer will y'all please tell me?
[Hook]
Why do we want what we can't have
The things that we lack are the things we want bad
Then we get what we have and we treat it like trash
Like we don't give a damn I swear this world has gone mad
[Verse 3]
Hold up, why we gotta wait for the man that always teaches Suffering but he don't give a damn?
Always acts as our friend when we do what he says
But won't give us a fucking mule and 40 acres of land (Hell no!)
Ain't that what we need to succeed?
Or do I have to acquire everything that I please?
I focused most of my life on some shit I don't need
Or act like the cash ruling everything around me (Listen!)
Can't you tell that we don't fit in?
Do the math, we don't add we ain't never coefficient
See the numbers, that tells us "Sky's the limit"
They seeing us rising above but be way too proud to admit it
All we really seeking be peace in the streets
Until we get it we be screamin' "Fuck the police!"
Then you gonna realise that you shoulda believed
But then it'll be too late to see
[Hook]
Why do we want what we can't have
The things that we lack are the things we want bad
Then we get what we have and we treat it like trash
Like we don't give a damn I swear this world has gone mad
[Outro]
Man this world is going mad
Yeah see, white man in America
Yeah see, I got a nice car and a good system and a good Government with good police
Yeah see, I don't give a fuck about anybody...
