Healer
Asher Roth Lyrics

My world is turning obsolete
I feel like the world is changing too quickly and I'm struggling to keep up.

Sometimes I struggle honestly with what I do believe
Sometimes I have doubts about my beliefs and I question my own convictions.

To hook it on and look beyond and tell me what you see
Take a closer look at things and tell me what you can see beyond the surface level.

I see us needing what we want instead of what we need
We tend to focus on what we want rather than what we actually need, which causes problems.

Climbing towards the peak, find the motion is exhausting
Working towards success can be exhausting and draining.

Most have lost touch, still wondering regardless
People have lost touch with what's important, but they keep wondering and searching anyway.

Don't wanna pay attention on how to make a connection
People don't want to learn how to connect with others and build relationships.

When wrecking a man's treasure and throw it right in the garbage
People often destroy things that are important to others without considering the consequences.

Fault your own father, our fault he didn't bother
Blaming your father for your problems may be unfair, but it's also true that he didn't care.

Wanted to be Plato, now challenged to think harder
I once aspired to be a great thinker like Plato, but now I'm realizing how difficult that actually is.

The owner, think deeper, nothing came easier
To truly understand something, you have to think deeply and critically and it's not easy.

Anxious and playing eager, impatient to play speaker
I'm anxious to share my thoughts and ideas, but I need to learn to be patient and listen to others as well.

Nigger wait, teach'em how to thread the needle
Wait a minute, let me teach you how to do something important properly.

People hating people, that horrible trained evil
The fact that people hate each other is a terrible and evil thing that has been taught and passed down through generations.

On the morning's eve, be encouraged, take action
Encourage yourself to take action and start working towards your goals, especially in the morning.

Only to receive distraction, distraction, distraction
Unfortunately, it's all too easy to get distracted and lose focus on what's truly important.

In fact, what was I trying to accomplish?
I'm not even sure what my original goals were and what I'm truly trying to achieve.

Non traditional, non-fictional, spit contest
I'm not like the typical rapper and I'm not telling fictional stories, it's more like a battle of words and ideas.

Not to mention blunt when you take shots with
I can be brutally honest and direct when I'm exchanging words with someone else.

Or take shots at, but might bounce back
I might take a hit or an insult, but I can bounce back and keep going.

And bite your ass if we ever cross paths
If we ever meet and you mess with me, I'll fight back and make you regret it.

'Cause you never bother questioning the cold hard facts
You don't bother questioning things and accepting what you're told as the truth, even if it's harsh and difficult to accept.

Ever stop to ask to get out of my head
Have you ever stopped to ask me what's going on in my head? Do you really care?

Subconscious tap, like a 90 light ache
Unconscious thoughts and feelings can be painful and persistent, like an ongoing ache.

Now the thought crosses, coming out of my neck
A new thought or idea is emerging and coming out of my mind and onto my tongue.

Spills into the palace, to the fellas breaking bread
I'm sharing my thoughts with my friends and associates, who are listening intently.

Seeking balance, getting calluses instead
Even though I'm seeking balance and harmony in my life, I'm ending up with scars and pain instead.

I know we ain't there yet
I'm aware that we haven't reached our goals yet.

We've been living through your end
We've been living in a world that's been shaped and influenced by people who came before us.

You don't have to be everything you think
You don't have to believe everything you think or feel, and you can change your mind and grow as a person.

We've been grabbed, wake up
We've been held captive by outside influences, and we need to wake up and take control.

We miss you
We miss the way things used to be, but we know that we have to move forward and create a better future.

So conflicting, my interest in this mission
I'm conflicted because I'm interested in this mission or goal, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do.

Try to walk away, feeling that nobody would listen
I've considered giving up or walking away because I don't think anyone would listen to me or care about my ideas.

When you're always know to take the road of least resistance
When you're used to taking the easiest, most comfortable path in life, it's hard to step out of your comfort zone.

You have to let it go, what's a plan without a vision?
Sometimes you have to let go of your current plan or strategy if it's not aligned with your overall vision.

I'm so confused what to do, can't see
I'm feeling lost and uncertain about what to do next, and I can't see a clear way forward at the moment.

In our food, in our noose in our sleep
We're being poisoned and trapped by our own food and sleep habits, which is dangerous and scary.

An intrude to the roots of our trees
Something is threatening the very foundations of our society and culture.

Inhaled in ourselves, get impaled when we breathe
We're hurting ourselves with our own actions and decisions and it's making it hard to breathe.

If it fails we excel in a tweak
If we fail at something, we can still learn from it and improve in small ways.

From the trails of the chem. Trails pails in the scrip
Chemical trails and pollution are having a negative impact on our environment and health.

Veils in the street, maam all held the week
There are hidden dangers and problems in plain sight on our streets, and they're making us weak and vulnerable.

While our freedom goes stealth to impale the gift free
Our freedom is being taken away in subtle ways, and it's a threat to the gifts and blessings we've been given.

We agree to debris to our silence
We're allowing the chaos and destruction to continue by staying silent and not speaking out.

No sirens, no fire and no violence
We don't need to resort to violence or destruction to bring about change and progress.

More wires, more hard for their alliance
The more people try to control us with technology and power, the harder it becomes for us to unite and fight back.

One more allowed to tag behind so try it
We need to allow more people from all walks of life to come together and work towards a common goal.

Talk about it, found people feel the same
When we talk about our problems and struggles, we often find that other people feel the same way and we can work together to find solutions.

The largest conversations say people go strained
The biggest issues and conflicts in our society often arise because people are under a lot of stress and strain.

Maybe it's in vain working for a better day
Sometimes it feels like we're working towards a better future, but it's all in vain and things will never truly change.

And hey maybe this will rйsumй
Maybe this song will be my resume or legacy, and it will serve as a reminder of what I was trying to accomplish.
