Read The Room

Watch It Burn

Hi!
I noticed you passing me by.
And just like that, I was high.
But then came a thought cross my mind.
Across my mind

Hi!
I was wondering if I could ride.
I see you have an open seat by your side.
And I can't stand the thought of standing by.
No standing by

Hi!
Truly, I just wanted to say, "Hi!"
Introduce myself and possibly vibe
What's your name? What type of music you like?
Oh, I like.

Oh, Hi! (x7)

Hi!
I noticed you passing me by.
And just like that, I was high.
But then came a thought cross my mind.
Across my mind

Oh, Hi!

Live at BMK

LYRICS

HOOK:
How many times have you seen this show before?
2 minutes
On the clock
and the man needs to score
How many times have you seen this show before?
In 2 minutes I’ll receive a handsome reward like

Too much time
Too much time for Tom (x3)

VERSE 1
Tom Brady I got that 1-2
Oh you got the lead?
That ain’t shit to undo

I’m here to take back the lead
Take that with me
Tell your team to take a seat

I don’t need all-stars to play with
I could change a nameless wide receiver to an A-list
Could give a fuck about some Patriots
I might switch leagues
Just to show I'm too dangerous

HOOK
How many times have you seen this show before?
2 minutes
On the clock
And the man needs to score
How many times have you seen this show before?
In 2 minutes I’ll receive a handsome reward
Too much time
Too much time for Tom (x3)

VERSE 2:
I got more titles than your franchise
I ain't quitting this game until both my hands ice
You know I’m here for the rings
Could care about your status man
Tell me what you bring
That Tom Brady Effect
Y'all been sleeping on me, man
That's strong gravy effects
I'm hearing maybe I'm next
I might change my name
Just to Tom Shady to flex

HOOK
How many times have you seen this show before?
2 minutes
On the clock
And the man needs to score
How many times have you seen this show before?
In 2 minutes I’ll receive a handsome reward
Too much time
Too much time for Tom (x3)

Tom Shady

VERSE 1
I don't like to gamble
I don't like the odds
Usually in my favor
Sometimes it's off
Sometimes it's Ceedee Lamb
Sometimes the ball gets dropped 
Sometimes you take a hit
Sometimes you take a loss

Used to think 
That I was
On the path of God
Now I walk around
With the wrath of God
And my soul's at odds
I can’t keep on acting like 
Like I know it all
The more I know 
I realize I don’t know enough
But humble brag
Man I have 
More swagger than most
It makes you mad
It makes you jelly 
Like you're splattered on toast
It makes you mad
Because I rap
About what matters the most
This White man 
Is more wavy than
The back of the boat

And I shatter the code
I'm a ladder to goals
I'm a factor that grows 
And I'm badder than most
That's an accurate quote
I'm a hatter in the pasture 
Don't get mad at the GOAT

HOOK
I'm not the one
Im not the one
I'm not the one you should be mad at 
Don't be mad at me


VERSE 2
With each day
I radicalize further
Somedays 
I can rationalize murder 
One day it all clicked
While tapping on my cursor
We've all been divided
By capitalized mergers
We need 
Stronger working class
Solidarity
We need
More time
With our neighbors 
And less therapy
We need 
Mutual support
And fewer charities 
We need 
A light that'll guide us
With more clarity
Who's gonna win this
On the battlefield of thought
Every word that I spit
Is an atom you can chop
Babyface killer 
Who likes rattling the plot
Start meeting with your neighbors
Stop babbling to God
All the have-not's 
are tired and ain't having it
In this era 
Is it truly moral to be a pacifist?
Sure, it was for Jesus
But this ancient Nazareth 
Whitest kid you know
But I might end up on the blackest list

HOOK
I'm not the one
No I'm not the one 
I'm not the one you should be mad at 
Don't be mad at me
I'm not the one
No I'm not the one 
I'm not the one you should be mad at 
Don't be mad at me

Don't Be Mad

PRE-HOOK:
Way in over my head
Bags hanging under my eyes
I got stiffness hitting my legs
Ain't even pushing 35
I think I might be depressed
Still thank God I'm alive
I need some time to decompress
I think I'm gonna go outside

HOOK:
Let me take five
Hope y'all don't mind
I think I'm gonna go outside
And I'll be fine
I think I'm gonna go outside
Hope y'all don't mind
I think I'm gonna go outside

VERSE:
Working in a skyscraper
And it feels a bit beneath me
Small boost in my paper
Big boss knows he can keep me
Contrary to my beliefs
Shoot, I know man, believe me
But I am just another man
Who needs the beast to feed me
Ooo
And I hope he doesn't eat me
What else could you want, man?
You win, dog. You beat me
Can go I home now?
Before I need to tone down
Need to put my phone down
Smoke some weed and zone out
I'm stressed man, I just took a loan out
My parents getting older and I'm miles from my hometown
I don't need to sell my soul, my heart's already sold out
Thank God for Tien though, forever are we soulbound

PRE-HOOK:
Way in over my head
Bags hanging under my eyes
I got stiffness hitting my legs
Ain't even pushing 35 I
I think I might be depressed
Still thank God I'm alive
I need some time to decompress
I think I'm gonna go outside

HOOK:
Let me take five
Hope y'all don't mind
I think I'm gonna go outside
And I'll be fine
I think I'm gonna go outside
Hope y'all don't mind
I think I'm gonna go outside
Let me take five

Go Outside
