Lovin' The Obstacles

It ain't alwayls all good     in hollywood

I think you got the lights and cameras     misunderstood

 

Your either rich and famous or your broke and nameless

 

If you find treasure there, make sure and claim it

 

I would if I could    but I'm sinking on a ship just off shore

All from doin no good     and takin' a sniff of somethin' too pure

 

Everything in between is just ways to the mean

And every other thing just might seem, like a golden light beam

Givin' me the light thats green,    but it's the red light I shoulda seen

Now I'm at a crime scene    lookin' at a body as its soul leaves

watch them clasp for that last breath then I feel deaths cold breeze

I realize I should've stayed at the party

At Corey's

maybe even had someone hide my car keys

 

Now the police

Are gonna check    My blood alcohol content

There gonna search my car next,  

find the pills,powders and forged checks

What can I do now      except.....

Run! ....  Run! Run!

3 min later I'm hidin' in a   tree fort

K -9 scratchin at the   tree bark

Cop lights shining through the two   by fours

Head for the hills head for the forest

 

Its all the bad decisions that brought me here

The thoughts in my head and words in my ear

Escaping capture doesnt mean I'm in the clear

I'm probably gonna spend the entire next year

 

Trying to shoulder the bolder

That already ran me over

Shouldn't have let those ashes smolder

cause the heat just made things colder

Keepin up the run just to be run over

Theres no beat or instrumental to be sung over

 

Clearly you've run into you .... Into you, into yourself

Oh **** Me runnin' in to me my own worst enemy

How shall I now procede, I cant move I can't speak , what the **** is wrong with my two feet?

 

Who knows....

 

I still Would   Never, never, never

 

I would never change a thing! I could never change a thing!

I wont rearrange extract or change a god **** thing

I will never change a thing! I could never change a thing!

Not one thing in my life

I'll still die laughing

Even if I die tonight

 

I will continue

To misuse

Abuse the excuse

Just to refuse

The fact that I even tried to make an excuse

 

I called it a reason cause I was reaching

Fell to short to excede my own region

Vultures in the sky watchin' me lie half alive still bleedin'

 

I don't know if I'm gonna make it past this one

Either shes about to sing or the fat lady already sung

Everything I had tied together has come undone

Under one thunder proof roof in a thunderstorm

 

But I can't complain, I love the drama, I love the rain

I love the electricity of the lightning makin' this blood pump through my veins

 

That's why

I...

I would never change a thing! I could never change a thing!

I wont rearrange extract or change a god **** thing

I will never change a thing! I could never change a thing!

Not one thing in my life

I'll still die laughing

Even if I die tonight

 

 

Ok, okay

Next test, the next step, the best relief of stress

Except this is not a passable test

But the only way to move on is to accept

The fact that I might be a devil's reject

I take a moment let myself level and reflect

 

Ok, Got it....

 

I have....

 

No jack,no bean stalk, no golden eggs

Just me, my talk, my walk on both my legs

No tricks, no gimmicks, no magician with cards already positioned

I will attempt to fix but not relinquish the hand I've been given

Cause no matter what this mother fuckin' world keeps spinnin'

 

And I'll say it again...

 

I would never change a thing! I could never change a thing!

I wont rearrange extract or change a god **** thing

I will never change a thing! I could never change a thing!

Not one thing in my life

I'll still die laughing

Even if I die tonight
