whatever's clever Lyrics

They knew me

Outgrew me

Now I see, they drew me in

To chew me up and spit me out

I knew enough to get stuck up in their teeth

Still living in your mouth

And it sounds to me

Like you're swimming in doubt

I preach to the choir as a liar

To ice as fire, though I'm tired

I never let it show

Everything in time, I'mma let it go

I'mma let them know what it's like to grow

Don't forget it though, yo

It's a heavy blow, a measured low

The regular Joe knows its all a show

With a plot that plateaus

And a lot more to sow

Than there ever is to reap

Lost in the snow

caught forever in repeat

Like, isn't it sweet?

Aren't we living the dream?

It would seem! 'cause the plot's

Filled with holes we don't acknowledge

All the characters keep changing

And I'm barely retaining knowledge

You ask me what is all this?

And often with a balled fist

Honestly, though

I'm just trying to finish college

But it's all just a project

Wish I could be balling

But it's all just an object

And I object to that lifestyle

With power comes pressure

Pressure makes diamonds

I'm proud to be lesser

An occasional loudmouth

I vow to do better

But now's not the time

So I try to stay clever

It's like, whatever

Whatever

Whatever's clever

Whatever
