P.O.S. - Optimist (We Are Not For Them) Lyrics

I pick a lot of locks
rock a lot of shows
Build with the moms
hang with a broken crow
Been hurting the same heart
since I was like 2
Use sarcasm freely
bark at the greedy
bite what feeds
Shy from the seedy
Im bold in approach
so rely on the
Hope that average
MCs cant fuck with or sound like me
Ive never down with The King
its never something I wanted to be
Never better than the work
the toil and reap
But the work for the wants
not to suffer for the needs
Nothings tougher than the
dreams
and good sleep
Teaching my son how to reach
damn right
Cause it get a little darker every night
And the rent goes up and they cutting out the
Dead ends to chase
feelings to fake
new hearts to break
amends to make
They all so
afraid and safe
in need of space
but hugging that crowd
Only shake with the quake
an a times like this are up

We break their stride cause we break our mirrors
They hugging that pride like its all there is
We make our own and if they dont feel it
Then we are not for them (and thats cool)
I made this beat for Alegra Oxborough
She showed me how to do the thing with the cups
I wrote the verse
on a triple-double-Tuesday
Writing in the
in the back lot
I never made it in
never really can tell the friends these days
Telephone dont sleep some days
Someday Ima be peaceful again
til then keep speak to a min
Shed a little skin
Ima beat it all and win
Ima set it off and run
Ima kill it til its dead
Ima do it til it
aint fun and the words dont come
Then Im gonna find another hobby
Probably find love
probably find trust
81 young with a little bit of rust
Clean interior
Minnesota plates
Money in the bank
with a lot of you to thank
Relate to the
Dead ends to chase
feelings to fake
new hearts to break
amends to make
They all so
afraid and safe
in need of space
but hugging that crowd
Only shake with the quake
an a times like this are up
(up for whatever, how are you?)
We break their stride cause we break our mirrors
They hugging that pride like its all there is
We make our own and if they dont feel it
Then we are not for them (we cut our own)
Dead ends to chase
feelings to fake
new hearts to break
amends to make
They all so
afraid and safe
in need of space
but hugging that crowd
Only shake with the quake
an a times like this are up
Dead ends to chase
feelings to fake
new hearts to break
amends to make
They all so
afraid and safe
in need of space
but hugging that crowd
Only shake with the quake
an a times like this are up
