in between
Paperboys Lyrics

I've got a life but ma motto is missing
I have a life, but I don't have a clear direction or purpose

I make music but I'm not a musician
Although I create music, I don't necessarily consider myself a trained musician

I ain't stupid not a lot of'em listen
I'm not unintelligent, but unfortunately not many people listen to me

Spot a bottle
Notice a bottle, which may represent the temptation to escape reality through alcohol or other vices

Gotta follow ambition
Despite setbacks, I must continue to pursue my goals and aspirations

I see it all from ma bottom position
I have a unique perspective from my current position of struggle and hardship

"It's alright"
Although things may not be going well, I try to maintain a positive attitude

It might be probable wishing but I tell'em it's cool
Even though it may be wishful thinking, I am okay with that

Stuck where irrelevance rules
I feel stuck and overlooked in a world that places little value on my talents

Hoping of selling with intelligent fools
I hope to gain recognition and success despite the fact that the industry often rewards conformity and mediocrity

A hell of a duel
This is a difficult and challenging battle to fight

We're developing tools
I am working to improve my skills and abilities to succeed in the industry

For some elegant pools
To achieve a more luxurious and comfortable lifestyle through my music career

Keeping it moving 'till I'm smelling of fuel
I will keep pushing forward and working hard until I reach my goals, even if it means burning myself out

Fighting fire with fire
I am fighting against the industry's negativity with my own passion and determination

And though my choir is hired
Even though I have support and a team behind me, I still feel unfulfilled

Can't seem to satisfy desire
No matter how far I come or how successful I become, I still feel like something is missing

I'm tired
I am exhausted from the constant struggle and pressure to succeed

Even ma fliers are wired but hay "maybe I'm wrong"
Even my promotional materials have a sense of desperation or anxiety, but I try to remain optimistic and push past my doubts

For turning tables with a radio song
I hope to achieve success and recognition through the power of a hit radio single

Can't blame it on the label I'm on
I can't blame my struggles on the record label I'm signed to

I plung cables
I am taking control of my own career and making my own connections

Coz I'm able
Because I have the skills and talent to succeed

The fabels of vagabond
The stories of wandering and struggling artists like myself

Keep'em flaming along
These stories continue to inspire and motivate me to keep going

Find a chic and leave a stain in her thong
Engage in frivolous relationships and sexual encounters that distract me from my goals

It's entertaining
These distractions and short-lived pleasures are amusing, but ultimately detrimental to my career

But I'm sick
I am aware that these distractions are unhealthy for me and my career

Draining liquor 'till this paining is gone
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism for the pain and stress of my career

I'm a sensible guy
Despite my struggles and distractions, I am still responsible and level-headed

We seek redemption then eventually die
As humans, we all make mistakes and seek forgiveness before we inevitably pass away

Just an extension
We are all a small part of a larger, cosmic picture

Passing centuries by
As time goes on and civilization progresses, our individual lives become less and less significant

But hey I know it
However, I am aware of my own potential and the power of my art

I was ment to be fly
I have always had a deep feeling that I was meant for something greater

A poet sent from the sky
I view myself as some sort of divine messenger of poetry and art

Playing ma role keeping ma entity high
I am fulfilling my purpose and maintaining my own sense of self-worth and identity

"Mentally dry"
Despite my artistic ambitions, I often struggle with writer's block and creative dry spells

I try to do better
I am constantly striving to improve and grow as an artist

Tied it together
I try to unify my various talents and skills to create a cohesive artistic vision

My wings the finset of feathers
My artistic abilities and talents are my greatest strengths

Design'em in letters
I express and share my artistic abilities through writing and creating music

And I know I cant be rhyming forever
I am aware that my career may be short-lived or unsustainable, and I need to plan for the future

The signs severed
I am currently experiencing a sense of disconnection and uncertainty about the future

So I pay the cost try to find cheddar
I am willing to take risks and make sacrifices in order to achieve financial success and security

Ride in fine leather
If I am successful, I hope to enjoy the luxuries and stylish accessories that come with wealth

Us mortals are lost with candle-lights imported across
As humans, we all have a limited understanding of our place in the world and often seek guidance from external sources

I've heard it all
I am aware of the various opinions and criticisms that exist within the music industry

Never bought it ofcourse
I am skeptical of these opinions and rely on my own artistic instincts and vision

Still sport it for frost
I may outwardly conform to certain trends or styles in order to fit in and appeal to listeners

Tied to ma neck
These trends and styles may become something of a burden or constraint in my artistic expression

With pride and respect
However, I still take pride in my work and respect for the industry I am a part of

But I'm the one the diamonds reflect
Ultimately, my success and value will be reflected in my own personal achievements and accomplishments

I'm a survivor
Despite the challenges and obstacles I face, I will always persevere and endure

Riding cassettes
I continue to create and produce music, even as the industry changes and evolves

Hoping semebody out there's guiding ma checks
I hope that my career and financial future will be guided by some sort of external power or influence

But I ain't hiding
I am not afraid to take risks and pursue my dreams, even if it means facing failure or rejection

Man I'm live in effect
I am fully alive and present in the moment, living my truth as an artist

I'm not the idol that the bible expects
I do not conform to traditional or religious expectations of success or fulfillment

When I collide with the decks
When I am performing and creating music, I feel a sense of passion and fulfillment that goes beyond religious or social conventions

I show it all coz I don't try to forget
Through my art, I express my true self and don't try to suppress or ignore my own thoughts and feelings
