lyrics

Real life stories of history
Yes we built you this shit for free
Then we screamed and we bled until
You'd pretend you were listening to me

I gotta message from a friend
It said why waste your time
Your only worth to them is
Hey boy, these shoes, now shine
I said I only live because of kindness
Not just yours but theirs
And mine, while its not cheap,
For change I guess I'll take the time

A buffalo and bison butt heads they see
7 - 11 want to leave
Cause they arent fans of darker sheens they say
Well, unless you build our shit for free
Fast forward Parks or Jon Ali
Tell me, why is this conspiracy
The villians got away scot free they say
My footmen rot in jail for me

I'm learning backward looking forward
Trying everyday to change
A world I've lived while never feeling safe
I know you've worked hard
Know you've earned it
That's what we've always been told
I'd almost got it
Still never had it
Fuck old gold

A buffalo and bison butt heads they see
7 - 11 want to leave
Cause they arent fans of darker sheens they say
Well, unless you build our shit for free
Fast forward Parks or Jon Ali
Tell me, why is this conspiracy
The villians got away scot free they say
My footmen rot in jail for me

Real life stories of history
Yes we built you this shit for free
Then we screamed and we bled until
