Problems
K. Sparks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I be the cackling captain who happens to be the last to score
Wake up depressed, snapping harder than psychiatric wards
Bubbling back and forth, ducking while they blast the cork
Surrounded by suckers, drug abusers and plastic whores
Massive dork, spectacles with suicidal tendencies
Yelling life ain't special less you manifest your destiny
Better close the topic shut, before they cruelly lock me up
Sliding on the ice of life, guess i'm a human hockey puck
But, that's how it goes though
Bros, hoes and low blows
Components en los ojos developing all the photos
Which captivate the conscious but my soul has left its body
At a faster rate than rockets due to holes up in my hobby
Lack of capital for merch got me laughing at my worth
Stacking every single dollar as i'm packing on my perch
Pray that I could make it happen, reach a fraction of the earth
On my hands and knees with passion like im rapping for the church
Once upon a time I was rude, never cared
Always too concerned with the views and the shares
Then I grew up, paid my dues and my fares
So don't get me confused with the dudes over there
Once upon a time I was rude, never cared
Always too concerned with the views and the shares
Then I grew up, paid my dues and my fares
So don't get me confused with the dudes over there
Clothes cluttered with the snacks you can notice i'm a slob
Smoking to relax, always over focused on my job
Swear to god
Im crunching ramen packets like its common practice
Now under estimate my struggle you can palm a cactus
Acknowledge classic, rocking harder than mommas mattress
Calm as Tommy Chong on acid once I hit the bong and pass it
But if I don't, I get all anxious and angry
However thanks to my baby I got the dank so its gravy
But lately
Its ironic, that I am byproduct
Of psychotic parents and fine chronic
My marijuana tolerance is climbing
Still i'm jogging, still i'm grinding
Please don't bother cause i'm calmer than the uni bomber flying
So elevate your smiles through trials and tribulations
Travel isles deep inside your mind for higher basis
To my amazement, life is blunt I learned to face it
Without some motivation your focus is purely basic
Once upon a time I was rude, never cared
Always too concerned with the views and the shares
Then I grew up, paid my dues and my fares
So don't get me confused with the dudes over there
Once upon a time I was rude, never cared
Always too concerned with the views and the shares
Then I grew up, paid my dues and my fares
So don't get me confused with the dudes over there
I don't got aces to burn through, limited patience and virtue
Better be thankful for curfew because i'm anxious to hurt you
This permanent anger within me grows with every single customer
That disrespects my service yelling bust a move and whats the word
On commission wishing I could pay my bills
Internal war consumes, sound the sirens, play them drills
Pessimistic hate filled, yet blessed with a great skill
Rather medicate myself then recommended eight pills
From a doctor that just wanna see his pockets bigger
Cant blame a man for shooting, i'm just not a fan of an awkward trigger
Dodging shells, at the taco bell, looking lost as hell
Spacing out on menus while I wonder if the drama sells
Character struck, feeling embarrassed and buck
To be completely honest dog I think America sucks
Over concentrated on money thanks to arrogant fucks
That's why the ground around me is littered with cancerous butts
Once upon a time I was rude, never cared
Always too concerned with the views and the shares
Then I grew up, paid my dues and my fares
So don't get me confused with the dudes over there
Once upon a time I was rude, never cared
Always too concerned with the views and the shares




Then I grew up, paid my dues and my fares
So don't get me confused with the dudes over there
