"Parallax" lyrics

Uh, uh
Yeah
I'm still lost in this parallax

The streetlights are blinding
And the street signs are guiding
Constantly reminding me
I can't look back, I gotta move forward
The man on the big, big, big billboard
Telling me to buy things that he knows I can't afford, and
I gotta make this count
Before somebody goes and counts me out
Gotta get my way through the darkness to the heartless
Never looking back, I was born ready, regardless
With the fatherless, hardness, like impostors
Never was the smartest, just worked the hardest
I'm an artist ready to start this
I'm the firestarter when I'm ready to start this
An [?] with a hook, ready to cut this
Gonna catch me I gotta [?]

I take one step forward, two steps back
I wanna free my mind, but I can't extract
I've been walking this road for a thousand years
But I'm still lost in this parallax

Uh, uh
Yeah
I'm still lost in this parallax
Uh, uh
Yeah
I'm still lost in this parallax

It's a twisted, cryptic world we're living in
Shaped by somebody else's opinions
We all been forgiven
But the government still needs to fill its prisons
Uh, so go get your cruller
Go lock 'em up until they older
Uh, you can brush it off your shoulders
While the kids run around with guns like soldiers
Uh, what a mess we've made of this
Looks like somebody hand-grenaded this
Looks like there'll be no escaping this
I thank God that God is saving this
Uh, got a little bit twisted
Writing's on the wall, it's right here as lipstick
I'm a misfit, but I must admit this
Excuse me while I go remix it

I take one step forward, two steps back
I wanna free my mind, but I can't extract
I've been walking this road for a thousand years
But I'm still lost in this parallax

Uh, uh
Yeah
I'm still lost in this parallax
Uh, uh
Yeah
I'm still lost in this parallax

(Parallax, parallax, I'm lost in this parallax
Parallax, parallax, I don't need you to tell me to relax)
Uh, I'm a prisoner, visitor, underground
The walls can't hold me, homie, only slow me down
I'm gonna say something oh so profound
And by the end of the night, I'll be world-renowned
I'm gonna take this mic like a foreign ambassador
Reshape time like a flux capacitor
Wanna talk money, holler my manager
And keep your opinions, 'cause I ain't asking ya
Uh, two worlds collide
Parallel universe in my mind
A million years on the edge of time
I missed my spaceship and got left behind
So, where do I go now?
I got lost and I don't even know how
Still spinning and I need to slow down
Can I get home, I need to know now

Uh, uh
Yeah
I'm still lost in this parallax

Uh, uh
Yeah
I'm still lost in this parallax
I'm still lost in this parallax
