Same Old Crisis Lyrics

Going through the same old crisis

Working on a brand new vibe

I was looking round for a light switch

When I can open up my eyes

Man, I probably talked to Vinnii 50 times about the burnout

Stream a couple thou, you only see a sliver turnout

Said I want my flowers in a wreath upon my neck

Distribution checked, I just wanna get the word out

Now I see the young wave

And they're plotting on a Grammy and a front page

Hibernating with my family, I've been laying low

Even so, I've been apparent when I'm off stage

You should aim for the apex

Even if you miss, you might land upon the list of little hits that they could play next

And they don't owe you shit, in fact they owe you way less

I never met an artist with a blank check

Easy seas do not precede a savvy crew

Learned from my L's and my phonics improved

I'm getting too old for opps, but a lot of you dudes

Could fill Copp's Coliseum with the drama you do

And if they talk about you, that's some free real estate

Say your name on the air, call that a radio wave

And if they say they don't care, we got receipts that can prove it

What do you call a musician who doesn't talk about music, huh?

What do you call a grown man looking at his phone and thinking he should throw a shot?

You gotta learn the lesson, see the blessings you got

The reputation won't remain upon the trip to the plot

I got no hesitation talking about my life in hyperbole

And I know that you heard of me, I'm a genuine guy

So if I said I built a castle from bricks and internally

I meant verses and words, I didn't technically lie

Going through the same old crisis

Working on a brand new vibe

I was looking round for a light switch

When I can open up my eyes

Going through the same old crisis

And everybody's just like me

But no one ever sound just like this

I guess I got the novelty

I used to listen on the bus, now I listen on the bus

Only thing that's different is the onus that's on top of us

Not to state the obvious

I never felt a download lift my body up

I won't fuss about an expiration date, you'll never write my music off, don't even try it

I heard a couple numpties saying Flowzus wasn't hungry

Man, I feel like Joey Chestnut on a vegan diet

Boy, I got the diesel fired, yeah,

Kicking my feet up like I been retired

Everything green about me like a recent hire

First you see me multiply, now my dimes on multipliers

I don't want no feedback 'less you been inside the culture prior, sheesh

If you think you touch my ease, that's a reach

I need the royalties, please, pennies each

Finer than the sand upon the beach

You know Flowzus been the man with Sally Hansen on his feet, yeah

Going through the same old crisis

Working on a brand new vibe

I was looking round for a light switch

When I can open up my eyes

Going through the same old crisis

And everybody's just like me

But no one ever sound just like this

I guess I got the novelty

Same old

Same old

Same old

Same old crisis

Same old

Same old

Same old

Same old crisis
