Look Around

Lyrics

[Intro: Oddisee] Yesterday I stayed up when the sun set Started readin' somethin' and I wasn't done yet (wasn't done yet) (Down, lookin' down, look around Lookin' down, look around) Yesterday I stayed up when the sun set Started readin' somethin' and I wasn't done yet (wasn't done yet) (Down, lookin' down, look around Lookin' down, look around) [Verse 1: Oddisee] I think I'm running out of things that anybody can tell me Ain't too many dreams left to try to come sell me Empty promises, no longer wasting my time Concrete the answer, I don't mess with a frail thing I read between the lines before the signature's signed 'Cause what you say and how you say can mean the shot or the shelvin' Window shopping, no the topic ain't a retail thing I'm talking about the spot between release and withheld things Liberty is freedom with a slimmer design Therefore a slave without a master is a victimless crime Nobody ever told me not to leave my block As long as I don't see the lock, I think I'm living outside Your picket fences' fine until you pivot the line And your indifference is stopped, by your existence confined That moment of shock is what y'all call 'woke', well "Hello" [Chorus: Oddiseee] Yesterday I stayed up when the sun set Started reading something and I wasn't done yet (wasn't done yet) Couldn't put it down (down), took a look around ('round) And noticed time was moving faster when I'm lookin' down (Lookin' down, look around) Yesterday I stayed up when the sun set Started reading something and I wasn't done yet (wasn't done yet) Couldn't put it down (down), took a look around ('round) And noticed time was moving faster when I'm lookin' down (Lookin' down, look around) [Samples] Love you more, love you more, love you more (more, more, more) Love you more, love you more, love you more (more, more, more) [Verse 2: Oddisee] It's highly, unlikely anybody despite me could ever walk in my Nikes Sort of more like hiking, fjord to fjord like a Viking I set afoot the shore that take accord to my liking I made a path for others to follow, they want a leader Instead of the way to be the, master of their tomorrow They got me on the job like immigrants I do the jobs that they won't, not the ones that they didn't get Been tourin' for four months, barely an off day My show is calisthenics, gainin' pounds as I lost weight I ain't seen Brooklyn since the trees ain't had leaves I ain't seen Maryland since a bushel was mad steep I ain't seen worry since I found how the man eats I adopted the plan, let my friends think I'm mad cheap And that wasn't last week, and this wasn't overnight Ashamed when rapper's famous but don't know how to hold a mic (explain this) [Chorus: Oddisee] Yesterday I stayed up when the sun set Started readin' somethin' and I wasn't done yet (wasn't done yet) Couldn't put it down (down), took a look around ('round) And noticed time was moving faster when I'm looking down (lookin' down, look around) Yesterday I stayed up when the sun set Started readin' somethin' and I wasn't done yet (wasn't done yet) Couldn't put it down (down), took a look around ('round) And noticed time was moving faster when I'm looking down (lookin' down, look around) [Sample] Only flesh and blood
