"VICES V VERSES" lyrics

"VICES V VERSES"

Vices are getting the better of me
Feel like they're bettering me
In the morning comes the guilt of every body that's betting on me
Thinking they stood on a 20
Thinking I'm breading for free
Not knowing I have to walk delicately
I eat lower-hanging fruit as the delicacy
I think a step at a time is the only step I can see
They think it's heart on my sleeve
I think it's head in the heat
The real gamble in my life's "Will I get any sleep?"

I'm too busy dreaming or doubting the dream
If you call me, I'm on stage or I'm out with the team
If I'm in my own head, I'll sabotage what I believe
Therapy is too fucking intrusive for me
I'd rather tell a million souls on a beat
'Cause they don't ask me questions
They're tapping their feet
Saying "Make some more of this"
Like it's something I need

Maybe I'm an addict or maybe I'm lucky
Maybe I'll press "Self-destruct" with unlimited money
Self-deprecating jokes give 'em something that's funny

But maybe they're the same but don't tell anybody
Maybe I should shut the fuck up and go where ti's sunny
Maybe I should hang the boots up and run with the money

Verses can make my identity seen
Attack an identity thief
My smile and my gratitude arrives with a second to breathe
Nothing makes me happier than family repping for me
When they play my music, feels like they're checking on me

They never asked about the degeneracy
They understand the market and they trust me indefinitely
But they ask about songs, when I scribble my thoughts
Think I made my mum upset, but I'd rather you cheat
And that's hard, but I like to put my thoughts in a million ears
I enjoy it 'cause it's like I'm high-jacking my fears
So, I'm proud to say I live in the land of ideas
Writing feels like I'm in control of my years
But being vulnerable prevents it all ending in tears
I'm happy I just write. So, I know what it is
If I was gonna fake smile, I'd just get the veneers

I'm grateful and I'm blessed, and eternally fine
I couldn't write a life that's been better written than mine
If I shout about a watch, I'm just cautious of time
Performing to a crowd is the core of my life
Doing laps behind the stage when it's quarter to 9
My fan base had my back for a third of my life
When I'm on a stage, I'm just watching 'em live
