Politics Lyrics by Travesty

2017

[Verse 1]
Here this goes - woke up early last night
Had a feeling I was lost and they took away my sight
Blinded by the glitz and the glam and the light
But they told me I was special and they told me I should fight
Told me I should follow how I feel and yeah I'm gonna keep it real
Never gonna settle for another medal- I won't steal
I won't slow it down because I'm here for real
Listen what I'm ‘bout to say let's make a deal
I ain't got opinions on up and coming artists
But I got some feelings coming so just let me get it started
Let me tell you they just autotunin’ stay the same they're not improving
Post so much it's so intrusive saying they won't make excuses
Huh, Never knew
Never knew I'd be here tryna better you
Never knew I'd finally get to say this stuff, bracin' for that hate and stuff
Making all you haters duck
Makin all the fame come, but all of you stay dumb
Tryna come and make fun, but the lyrics they sung
Weren't even the right ones, I'm not sayin light ones
But they're tryna bite ones, that you gon’ despise ones
Huh, then I came back
Dropped a track that's real and they still say that
Still laugh at the song, when it's not even on
Writin jokes on my palm, but one day I'll be gone
[Bridge]
Think about it sometimes
I write songs and I say what's on my mind
But I lost my mind
And I can't find it
Tryna find it in a way that's not violent
But you can't combine it
[Hook]
Man I’m so tired
Tired of livin’ like this
Tired of gettin’ like this
Tired of waking every morning feeling down like this
Tired of getting up- never get around like this
Never frown like this
Never sad like this
Never mad like this
Never mad like this
But I never had this
Man I’m so tired
Tired of livin’ like this
Tired of gettin’ like this
Tired of waking every morning feeling down like this
Tired of getting up- never get around like this
Never frown like this
Never sad like this
Never mad like this
Never mad like this
But I never had this
[Verse 2]
Here this goes- woke up early last night
Thought about my situation and I thought about my life
Thought about what I've been given and the life that I've been livin’
And the red the white the blue yeah that's the country that I live in
Back in October - people asking me who I'm gonna vote for
I'm only 15, but that won't stop me from venting
I've been thinking bout it for a minute see the color of my skin
It affects me every day - not just what I'm in
See me on the street - think I voted for the man
The one that's tearin’ us apart, watch him call another ban
He's just showing white power, the taste is getting sour
Givin’ me a feelin’ that could shut me in for hours
Takin my image and he's tearing it apart
Making me look like a demon but he's really not smart
He won't take us down- imma take that crown
Imma throw it on the ground listen to that sound
Hear it break - crash - shatter everywhere
All his people gonna scatter everywhere
We've got billions in office- lookin’ so novice
Now I'm so cautious, I just wanna stop this
Never gonna change if we don't stand up
Gonna stay the same way but I finally manned up
I won't settle for some years, livin out all of my fears
Lettin; people do injustice to the ones I call my peers
Letting all these things fly when I know it's all wrong
Don't blame it on me, just listen to this song
I’m so tired of being seen as a gimmick I won't
Take it anymore I'm never gonna sink- I float
I'm a man that's on a mission this is not my last submission
Gonna take what I was given flip it like it's never endin
[Bridge]
Think about it sometimes
I write songs and I say what's on my mind
But I lost my mind
And I can't find it
Tryna find it in a way that's not violent
But you can't combine it
[Hook]
Man I’m so tired
Tired of livin’ like this
Tired of gettin’ like this
Tired of waking every morning feeling down like this
Tired of getting up- never get around like this
Never frown like this
Never sad like this
Never mad like this
Never mad like this
But I never had this
Man I’m so tired
Tired of livin’ like this
Tired of gettin’ like this
Tired of waking every morning feeling down like this
Tired of getting up- never get around like this
Never frown like this
Never sad like this
Never mad like this
Never mad like this
But I never had this
