Dog On A Leash Lyrics

Me, I don't have all the answers

I just got questions to ask

To monsters dressed up like masters

With smiles etched into masks

Lately I been feeling mad but

I don't respond to it with wrath

Instead the Jester does stand-up

Some of y'all listen better through laughs

I can hear the people calling out to replace the ones who lead them

We ain't born free

Nah we born on a leash and they say it's for healing

Nah cap

But that collar tight, make it harder for the breathing

Huh, facts

Why's it a price everyone gotta pay for their freedom?

I'm tryna make some pour ma ville

I feel the weight tryna keep me still

I see the snakes in the grass slithering with enough hate to get me killed

But it's a future I could build

I smell the pie on the window sill

Soon I'll be running through open fields

But right now I just feel like

A dog on a leash

Dog on a leash

Biting my tongue

My moment'll come

Me, I'm a dog on a leash

Dog on a leash

Dog on a leash

Biting my tongue

My moment'll come

Me, I'm a dog on a leash

Yo

Where the control at?

The smiley-face telling me rollback

I know it's a home in my heart, but I feel a tad like a nomad

I don't wanna be watching my life

Passing me by in the blink of an eye

Everyday wondering what'll the stone say overtop of where they lay my bones at

And creating's starting to come with deadlines

And the cost's amping up the breadline

And my rent's due so I got a job which is taking up most of my set time

Like I don't see my friends as much

I'm spread a touch too thin

Trembling, toughened only by the idea of the end result

But the end's a long way from the Jester's clutch

Is it worth it?

That ain't certain

Putting work in when I'm done working

I been learning every emerald city got a man behind the curtain

They be lurking

For the young pup

Who's determined

On the come up

Don't get enticed little beast

Run run run

Bite at the leash

Run run run

Missing my friends

Gotta pay rent

Me I'm a dog on a leash

Time running out

Watching my mouth

Me I a dog on a leash

Sometimes I'm happy

Sometimes I forget

I'm just a dog on a leash

Do you still think about me?

Do you still

Dog on a leash

A dog on a leash

Dog on a leash

Biting my tongue

My moment'll come

Me, I'm a dog on a leash

Dog on a leash

Dog on a leash

Biting my tongue

My moment'll come

Me, I'm a dog on a leash
