Like Fluid

Let’s get down to brass tacks and rap about the facts of life
It’s like the whole world is delirious
Mysterious isn’t it man how we all cheer for weariness
I’m serious. It’s eerie how weird it is. I’m fearing this.
It’s like the end is near and I pretend it’s not
And there’s a shot in this atmosphere drinking beer, smoking pot
Just a means to dodge the hang-ups that I got
But I refuse to let ‘em slide in the lyrics that I jot
I’m caught in a web of surreal material
And force-fed fear by governments of imperialists
The gist of this is not to twist your wrist
Or get you pissed enough to resist the abyss amiss that exists
Between our eyes and our minds
Cuz a zodiac sign can only lead the blind
Only the blind can be defined by Calvin Kline designs.
Make kindness intertwine with chat lines
Combat these bad times with fair rhymes.

Life’s like fluid, flow right thru it man
Take what you get, get what you put into it
And Life’s like fluid, flow like fluid man
Take what you get, get what you put into it

Maybe the song’s wrong
Maybe the strong only survive within the confines of corporate goldmines
Maybe the divine lies within wearing a tie
Following the guidelines and getting dollar signs in your eyes
Maybe it’s about being corrupt, blowing yourself up
Taking thirty people with you like you don’t give a fuck
Life’s a hard pill to swallow when you wallow in your sarrows
Hollow, like the bottle of liquor bottles when you’re blottow
Hollow, like the popular models we try to follow
Hollow, like putting our plans for tomorrow
But tomorrow never knows, yesterday is history
It gets to me when all that I can Scope is fucking Listerine
Persistency seems to come to me without consistency
Resisting the rhyme and reason of existence
Be all that I can be without enlisting in the infantry
I’d rather shoot the gift, light it up like a Christmas tree.

Life’s like fluid, flow right thru it man
Take what you get, get what you put into it
And Life’s like fluid, flow like fluid man
Take what you get, get what you put into it

While I’m waiting for my day to come, numb from the opium
Equilibrium’s fucked up from drinking rum
In the slum, dumbing myself down to make a buck
What the fuck, it’s like slumming for crowns back to a ruck
When I bust this shit, I’m gonna cus and spit
Until you just admit, this is the rush I get
When I flash that raw flesh in your face
And get ill when I spray these lyrics like mace
Vanish up in the air without a trace
Like damn! Who was that kid? He just fell from grace
I’m bound to be a mental case if I don’t get my cards in place
I got the jack, the ten, the king, the queen – now all I need’s the ace
I try to keep the pace with this rat race across the nation
Time’s a-wasting, way to patient
In the way I tend to face realization
Everyday it’s like vacation that he’s spacing in
In a way I’m way to patient when I hit my destination cuz

Life’s like fluid, flow right thru it man
Take what you get, get what you put into it
And Life’s like fluid, flow like fluid man
Take what you get, get what you put into it
