Alive Lyrics - Artist : Mike Posner
Sexism shrouded in chivalry
Little men with big egos try to belittle me They got me in a pickle But I've been freeing minds with riddles Ever since little league Literally People sit behind their little screens and doubt me Meanwhile life in my hometown goes on just fine without me Every time I go back, with a little more money, and a little less time Promises made to be fulfilled next time People don't have no patience so they try to test mine That's ok I got my notebook, I got my voice I gotta be free, I got no choice That's an interesting sentence: I gotta be free, I've got no choice You know, I still go in the dressing room before the show every night Put a little gel in my hair I'm still tryna be cool But the funny thing about that is Everyone knows when you're trying, so you never actually do And the even funnier thing about that is, Everyone else is trying too So I wonder: if I drop the guard, if I cut the shit for just this one moment Would you? Would you? People we never met made all our rules And we feel strong when we bend them Men in suits start wars Kids in camouflage end them I'm supposed to entertain people but I'm not supposed to offend them Fuck it There are more valuable things in this world than attention [?] attention, when a cheer ends You don't know what to do, so you cheer again See I could say, "cheer." Or I could say, "DON'T CHEER!" Isn't that weird? You don't hear words You hear inflection, and intention Which means somebody saying "I hate you" Might really be saying "I love you, I need affection" A change in perspective Brought to you by yours truly An outlook on life Brought to you by parents they didn't pick in war movies Tour groupies I was born goofy And America tried to straighten me out Towards Porsches, fortresses, porches, bowls full of porridge Who'd've thunk a crooked line could be so damn gorgeous? The eyes of the beloved- that's you Met a little girl the other day she asked where I wanna be, What I wanna be in a year? I said, "Alive." |
