Everyday People
Sean Slaughter Lyrics

I'll never look at life this way again
I have gained a new perspective on life that has changed the way I view everything

I'll never let my eyesight fade again
I won't let my perspective on life become clouded or distorted again

I can't believe mistakes that I've made again
I am shocked and disappointed in the mistakes I have made and the fact that I have repeated them

He's God, show respect cause I'm spraying for him
I am rapping and sharing this message on behalf of God, and therefore, I ask that people listen and show respect

I can't believe what I did, the dirt on my hand the dirt on my feet
I am disgusted and ashamed of the things I have done, and the negative impact they have had on me and others

It's like I'm walking life in the sand
Life feels difficult and challenging, like walking through sand instead of on solid ground

Thirsty for drink, the sun's heat straight on my dome
I am struggling and in need of sustenance, while being relentlessly affected by the hardships of life

Following the shadows of trees, to find my way home
I am lost and confused, relying on small clues like shadows to find my way back to a place of security and comfort

Like is a wreck, now I show folk disrespect
My life feels like a mess, and as a result, I have started treating others poorly and disrespectfully

Couzin I'm vexed, I thought this year I'd be pushing Lex
I am frustrated and upset because I thought my life would be more successful and prosperous by now

Back to the cracks, back to the one dollar stacks
I am tempted to return to a life of selling drugs and making small amounts of money from it

Back to the cats with bloodshot eyes and arm tracks
I would be returning to a dangerous and unhealthy lifestyle surrounded by people with drug addictions and visible signs of drug use

Those is my dogs, fam that I can't even trust
These are my so-called friends who I cannot even trust because of their selfish and unreliable behavior

But they call me son if I take this biscuit and bust
These people call me family or friend if I carry out a violent act on their behalf

Chicks be the lust, every other word be a cuss
I am overly focused on women and use profanity excessively in my speech

Yeah my mom cries kid, but it all about us
My mother is upset about my choices and lifestyle, but I only focus on myself and my immediate concerns

All about the block, all about ducking a cop
I am exclusively focused on navigating and surviving within my dangerous and crime-ridden neighborhood while avoiding law enforcement

All about me in ya crib and snatching a knot
I am focused on breaking into people's homes and taking their money

But I'm small time, all I push is nickel and dime
I am not a major drug dealer and only make small amounts of money

Game's on my mind, think I got the world sniffing lines
I am always thinking about drug dealing and believe that everyone around me is using and therefore paying attention to my actions

Think I robbed every cat and came off a couple centuries
I believe that I have robbed many people and made a lot of money from it, although this is likely not entirely true

Think every time someone rhymes, they must have mentioned me
I believe that every time someone raps or mentions drug dealing, they are referencing me and my lifestyle

This is your world, ya weeded minds in a twirl
This is the world people actually live in, but their drug-addled minds and perceptions have made it a confusing and difficult place for them

Word to the Ambassador that chickenhead be my ex-girl
I swear to tell the truth, and one of my former girlfriends was a promiscuous woman

I got something for the shorties too, every thugs my boo
I also have a message for young people, as every violent criminal is somehow attractive and enviable to many

Got two baby father's too, that I steady screw
I have two children from two different fathers, but refuse to stop engaging in casual sex with people

Weed got my eyes shut glued, think I'm Betty Boop
I smoke so much weed that I feel I have difficulty opening my eyes, like the cartoon character Betty Boop

I roll with five girls I don't even like, my Friday crew
I hang out with a group of five women on Fridays, who I do not actually like or have any real connection with

Yeah I call myself a woman even though I'm looking dude
I identify as a woman, although I might not present myself in the stereotypical way

Even though my mouths filthy cause I ain't in the mood
I swear and use vulgar language even when I am not particularly upset or energetic

Lay on my back, all in the name of some food
I engage in sexual activities with others just for the sake of free meals or other basic necessities

But I can't get a job, I ain't finish my school
I am currently unemployed and did not complete my education, despite its clear importance for job prospects

Still I'm a queen, even though I look like a fiend
I feel and act as though I am royalty, even though I might look like a drug user or addicted person

Can't recall the last time that I followed a dream
I cannot remember a time in recent history when I actually pursued my true passions or desires

Can't recall the last time I maximized my bean
I cannot remember the last time I used my intellect or brainpower to solve a problem or make an important choice

Can't recall anything cause my minds full of steam
I cannot remember anything because my mind is hazy from drug use and other factors

Shorty ya tripped, forty to side of my lips
You are acting crazy or foolish, and I have a forty-ounce beer to my lips

Can't stand a righteous woman, she a stuck up chick
I dislike and disrespect females who seem to hold higher moral or ethical standards than myself and others like me

Yeah I'm jealous cause her minds right, she got up out the grime life
I am envious of the woman's level-headedness and clearer perspective, as she has moved beyond the dangerous and difficult life that I am still living

But yo, I want the limelight, so I bend my spine right
Despite my jealousy and desire for a better life, I still crave attention and will do whatever it takes to get it

Cause a man is my love he cover insecurity
I feel that having a boyfriend or partner somehow validates me and makes me feel more secure, although this is not necessarily true

But I want a weak dude who won't take his authority
I actually desire a man who is weak and does not assert his authority over me, as I want to maintain control in the relationship

Dazed and confused like you Dave Chappelle
I am confused and disoriented, like the comedian Dave Chappelle used to portray in his skits

The same way you blaze that bunt you'll blaze in hell
If you continue to use drugs and engage in immoral behaviors, you will suffer in the afterlife

Father forgive 'em
I ask for God's forgiveness, and for forgiveness from anyone who has been negatively affected by my actions or words
