Optimist (We Are Not For Them) Songtext / Lyric

I pick a lot of locks

Rock a lot of shows

Build with the moms

Hang with a broken crows

Been hurting the same heart since I was like 2

I use sarcasm freely

Bark at the greedy

Bite what feeds

Shy from the seedy

I'm bold in approach

So rely on the hope that average MCs cant fuck with or sound like me

I've never down with The King

It's never something I wanted to be

Never better than the work, than the toil and reap

But the work for the wants, not to suffer for the needs

Nothing's tougher than the

Dreams and good sleep

Teaching my son how to reach

Damn right

Cause it get a little darker every night

And the rent goes up and they cutting out the



Dead ends to chase

Feelings to fake

New hearts to break

Amends to make

They all so

Afraid and safe

in need of space

But hugging that crowd

Only shake with the quake

And a times like this are up

We break their stride cause we break our mirrors

They hugging that pride like its all there is

We make our own and if they don't feel it

Then we are not for them (and that's cool)



I made this beat for Alegra Oxborough

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 the friends these days

Telephone don't sleep some days

Someday I'ma be peaceful again

'til then keep speech to a min

Shed a little skin

I'ma bet it all and win

I'ma set it off and run

I'ma kill it 'til its dead

I'ma do it 'til it

Ain't fun and the words don't come

Then I'm gonna find another hobby

Probably find love

Probably find trust

81 young with a little bit of rust

Clean interior

Minnesota plates

Money in the bank with a lot of you to thank

Relate to the



Dead ends to chase

Feelings to fake

New hearts to break

Amends to make

They all so

Afraid and safe

In need of space

But hugging that crowd

Only shake with the quake

And a times like this are up

(up for whatever, how are you?)

We break their stride cause we break our mirrors

They hugging that pride like its all there is

We make our own and if they don't feel it

Then we are not for them (we cut our own)



Dead ends to chase

feelings to fake

New hearts to break

Amends to make

They all so

Afraid and safe

In need of space

But hugging that crowd

Only shake with the quake

And a times like this are up



Dead ends to chase

feelings to fake

New hearts to break

Amends to make

They all so

Afraid and safe

In need of space

But hugging that crowd

Only shake with the quake

And a times like this are up
