T Clipse - ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM Lyrics

Long days longer nights taking aim it's all precise
Except it ain't a gun you got it's words that fill my heart with ice
Why you gotta do that? My intentions pure as Walter's white
I'm trapped between these walls if they could talk I might be gone tonight
But if I leave the crib I'll be surrounded by imposters like
The ones that ask for handouts but call themselves some ballers right
I don't get it, and I never will
Fuck a first base a nigga aiming for the center field
Trynna get my drive right Holy Spirit take the wheel
Trynna break this cycle of hatred I'm finna feel
Trynna make my people embrace that we needa heal
Scars cause our race holds no weight on a bigger scale
Nowadays they been trynna take what a nigga feel
Make a joke, or make a buck, and put it on a insta reel
In these streets all these cops got a instakill
You sad you lost yo baby how the fuck you think these women feel?
My father said don't close the door, but don't wait by it either
So I'm sticking to my goals spittin' straight fire ether on the tracks
'Cause nobody ever shaped my demeanor
I pledge my allegiance to the fate I'm receiving
I'm self made check my plate I been eatin'
I check checks then I check the date I received em' 'fore I cash
To a nation under God that don't believe Him
Whole country had slaves so what state am I free in?
But my mind-state, irate ones boost the crime rate
Please calm your mental it don't matter how much times takes
And time waits for no man, follow your divine fate
Flirting with my destiny it's looking like a blind date
I gotta move a little different now
'Cause a nigga wants my spot and the whole time I think he fuckin' with me
Elephant in the room getting bigger now
Let em' think I'm broke 'cause they act different when you up a milli
I gotta move a little different now
'Cause a nigga wants my spot and the whole time I think he fuckin' with me
I gotta move a little different now
Cause I'm headed to the top, and if you want it then you gotta kill me

Long days longer nights taking aim it's all precise
Except it ain't a gun you got it's words that fill my heart with ice
Why you gotta do that? My intentions pure as Walter's white
I'm trapped between these walls if they could talk I might be gone tonight
But if I leave the crib I'll be surrounded by imposters like
The ones that ask for handouts but call themselves some ballers right
I don't get it, and I never will
Fuck a first base a nigga aiming for the center field
Trynna get my drive right Holy Spirit take the wheel
Trynna break this cycle of hatred I'm finna feel
Trynna make my people embrace that we needa heal
Scars cause our race holds no weight on a bigger scale
Nowadays they been trynna take what a nigga feel
Make a joke, or make a buck, and put it on a insta reel
In these streets all these cops got a instakill
You sad you lost yo baby how the fuck you think these women feel?
