Tales of the Cupcake

lyrics

Envision yourself as someone else, another place
Another pace in steps, left in a wake, now take…
A look back at that life, at that day-to-day
And that nice, comfortable, and straightforward way
And think back to every single pinprick and pain
That made you, stays true to this very day
And think what it takes to be stressless and say
That the same pain you suffer you won't deflect the same
To some other in need of the same shit you claim
And tell me, when you’re there you won't act the same
That you'll recognize the pain and give more out to gain
While staying plush in much lux and avoid any blame
Will you pervade the same game that those you hate will frame
As those who deserve must have the nerve to claim?

This is the same damn frame of mind that invades
Every man that once was just an ass to be made
This is in the same vein as “hate the game, not the player”
This game of played players, pied pipers, soothsayers
Not this emcee that empties his soul onto layers
Of instrumentals and begs you for more than you made
Of a simple rhyme timed in four-four beats by the line
That you can't even read, you just feel it, aiiight?”
Yes, and nothing to stress, but who's next to molest
When you flex muscle to debt, really who gets the best?
Next to fall in line in soup lines as you pine
For the McMansion, McBordered by McProperty lines
It's the approximate time for the end, so let's send
You off with a fluff and a new virus for your friend

Halted against the shade of a last hill
They fed, were at ease and, finding
Comfortable chests and knees, carelessly slept
But many there stood still
To face the stark blank sky beyond the ridge
Knowing their feet had come to the end of the world
