Optimist Lyrics - Singles - P.o.s.

I pick a lot of locks 

rock a lot of shows 

build with the moms 

hang with the broken crow 

been hurtin the same heart since i was like two 

i use sarcasm freely 

bark at the greedy 

write what feeds 

shy from the seedy 

im bold in approach 

so rely on the hope 

that the average emcees 

can't fuck with a sound like me 

i never been down wit the king 

it's never something i wanted to be 

never better than the work 

then the toil and the reep 

have to work for the want 

not to suffer for the needs 

nothin's tougher than the 

dreams and good sleep 

tryin to teach my son how to reach 

damn right 

cuz it gets a little darker every night 

and if the rent goes up 

they gonna cut out the 

dead ends to chase 

feelings to fake 

new hearts to break 

amends to make 

they all so 

afraid of safe 

and need their space 

but huggin that crowd when we shake with the quake an uh 

times like this are uh 

break their stride 

cuz we break or miss 

they huggin that pride like its all there is 

we make our own and if we dont feel it 

then we are not for them 

and thats cool 

I made this beat for Alegra Oxboro 

she showed me how to do the thing with the cups 

I wrote the verse on a triple double Tuesday 

writing in the van in the back lot 

I never made it in 

never really can tell friend these days 

telephone dont sleep some days 

someday ima be peaceful again 

til then keep the speech to a min 

shed a little skin 

ima bet it all and win 

ima set it off and run 

ima kill it til its dead 

ima do it til it..aint fun 

and the words don't come 

then i'm gonna find another hobby 

probably find love 

probably find trust 

eighty-one young with a little bit of rust 

queen interior 

minnesota plates 

money in the bank 

with a lot you to thank 

relate to the 

dead ends to chase 

feelings to fake 

new hearts to break 

amends to make 

they all so 

afraid of safe 

and need their space but 

huggin that crowd when we shake wit the quake and uh 

up for whatever 

how are you 

we break their stride cuz we break or miss 

they huggin that pride like its all there is 

we make our own and if we dont feel it 

then we are not for them we call a riot 

dead ends to chase 

feelings to fake 

new hearts to break 

amends to make 

they all so 

afraid of safe 

and need their space but 

huggin that crowd when we shake and the quake and uh 

dead ends to chase 

feelings to fake 

new hearts to break 

amends to make 

they all so 

afraid of safe 

and need their space but 

huggin that crowd when shake 

that's it
