Artist: Oddisee Album: The Iceberg Song: Things Typed by: kirenamloh@msn.com, Oddisee [Intro] "Things..." (Things, things, things) "Things..." (Things, things, things) "Things..." (Things, things, things) "Things..." (Things, things, things) [Oddisee] ("Things...") ...on my mind when I wake up ("Things...") ...all my time try to take up If I could save up money like worry I'd be a rich man but sorrow would plague much I done made up the fiction That I'm a center of a system causing the day rust Center stage and a monologue play of Me and the audience all in my make up What a view and it's all for the show Assuming that I'm doing what you already know I think I'm in the middle of a palm heavy globe Err'ybody trying to steal what I already own But oh in this life we are all but alone And feeling that you are is a problem condoned So sunlight hit the spotlight that we hold Like it's one light that we cuff tight 'til it's gone One candle on the cake, trying to take it Souls set sail on the race trying to take wind We are all faves in the chips that we placing Better build self, anybody else cave in So I'm holding onto pressure like it's all mine That ain't sweat, it's just the way I keep the floor shined Everybody queued up in the long grind Thinking that we next in the short line [Chorus] Things I'm going through, yeah Things I'm going through, yeah Things I'm going through, yeah Things I'm going through, I got Things I'm going through, yeah Things I'm going through, yeah Things I'm going through, yeah Things I'm going through, yeah [Oddisee] I want a lot more things Biggie tried to tell me what a lot more bring A headstrong man would take a lot more strain Seeing pleasure in the presence of a lot more pain It's like I'm in the plot of a horror flick scene And I'ma run towards where I thought I heard screams Cause ("things...") draw me like a self-portrait Blank paper trying to fill it with a lot more green ("Things...") make life, and a life worth living Is a life worth giving to a fight for dreams When your schemes matter more than the next man's And the next man's matter more than the rest and We all forget that we are not all things So I'ma take time in the line All those behind me can chill But if I was last I'd probably be the first one to whine, for real [Chorus] [Bridge] We going through it They going through it I'm going through it You going through it We going through it They going through it I'm going through it You going through it [Oddisee] We just want to matter more Tryna be the matador in the pit of bull Tryna gather our status to the masses Looking at the glass like that's pitiful I ain't seeing what you seeing cause your problems ain't my problems How you solve 'em? Really I don't e'en care Putting pressure on the shoulders that ain't really there But I know you see it when you stare [Chorus]
