Everything used to be so good then
|
Now it seems like you're mad at my footprints
|
I'm only trying to scribble in the book, man
|
It's not my fault that y'all couldn't
|
You must have a lot of free time
|
Otherwise why're you trying to see mine?
|
Strain your neck, let the blame project
|
But don't give yourself the same respect
|
So independent but undependable
|
We're all getting old, now take a mental note
|
And stop being so covetous
|
The crime is the punishment
|
Now run and get a slither of dignity
|
You ain't gotta be a figure of misery
|
You don't wanna be a victim to victory
|
Listening to a bitter sweet symphony
|
|
You're so bitter
|
You're as cold as a river in the winter
|
This one is to recognize you
|
Your jealousy needs an anthem, too
|
You're so bitter
|
You're as cold as a river in the winter
|
This one is to recognize you
|
And all of these dreams that can't come true
|
|
We used to get up in uptown
|
Then we hit the highway to run around
|
Came home, everybody wanna judge now
|
Don't let them see you celebrate your touchdown
|
Keep clutching those grudges
|
Don't budge if no budget
|
The old puppets show love in public
|
But behind the back, can't trust them
|
Disgusted, repugnant, insulted, repulsive
|
Discouraged, rejection
|
No protection from your own reflection
|
Chip on your shoulder big as a boulder
|
Insecurity is a slippery slope
|
Got you looking around for the sympathy vote
|
Anything to give a little glimmer of hope
|
|
You're so bitter
|
You're as cold as a river in the winter
|
This one is to recognize you
|
Your jealousy needs an anthem, too
|
You're so bitter
|
You're as cold as a river in the winter
|
This one is to recognize you
|
And all of these dreams that can't come true
|
|
Treat love like a limited resource
|
Fight for it like there's never gonna be more
|
On the rooftop talk to the spaceships
|
Like you've got 2Pac locked in the basement
|
Get the bag, make the ghetto way exit
|
You get mad like your middle name desperate
|
No net, better not get left back
|
Yeah, you should probably protect that
|
I'm trying to keep it simple, teeth to the nipple
|
Beat my chisel, leave my initials
|
Fly so far when you follow the signals
|
Sky full of stars and all of them wishful
|
Not only are we bitter but we're brittle
|
The world's getting small and everybody's little
|
Go roll your eyeballs, toot your own whistle
|
Don't ever stop waiting for the window
|
|
You're so bitter
|
You're as cold as a river in the winter
|
This one is to recognize you
|
Your jealousy needs an anthem, too
|
You're so bitter
|
You're as cold as a river in the winter
|
This one is to recognize you
|
And all of these dreams that can't come true
|
