Who Detached Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Look, somehow I escaped the fate of this life I lead Divorced the street, she tried to kill me and my wife to be Black widow, silk sheets and a satin pillow This California king loved you like a sack of indo Empty patron bottles and a pack of Mentos Master suite 'frigerator full of incidentals Every day we have a ball like a blond bimbo Talk to her like a shrink and fuck her like a nympho And it can be as simple as it seems If you never doubt yourself and learn from everything you see Know, wishing on a star can turn your life into a dream You could walk on water just don't look down at your feet Look Told this world I was a star I'm gon' need a stage Cause life is short and talk is cheap so fuck what people say When I was 12 a crazy lady told me lead the way I shed a tear cause it was real and swore to never stray [Chorus] Now every second is a classic, when nothing last Gotta take a moment and appreciate the fact that This world is turning faster and faster And once you found the real it's hard to tolerate the plastic I ain't no Christian, ain't no Catholic but I believe God gon' shine his light on everyone that never had shit I need some answers to these questions that I'm asking We used to be connected, who detached us? We used to be respected, now they laughin' We've turned into possessions with no passion How we go from the best to less than average We used to be connected, who detached us? [Post Chorus] Who? Who? Who? Who? (With no collective identity) You. You. You. You (It's every man for himself) Me. Me. Me. Me (We need a black mafia) Us. We. We (Look) [Verse 2] Ruthless Crip on some stupid shit To valeting at Ruth Chris in some roofless shit I think too much TV is what ruins kids When homosexual actors is their influences We need community centers that teach the music biz That way we learn to retain ownership on some Jewish shit Don't take no hand outs, you build it it's more lucrative And now everything that I spoke is the truest shit You get abused long enough, you start abusing shit She flipped the script and now your woman calling you a bitch You got some problems in the house that only you can fix And if you was a kid that grew up with it even you would split He told the world he was a star and he gonna need a stage Cause life is short and talk is cheap so fuck what people say When he was 12 a crazy lady told him lead the way He shed a tear cause it was real and swore to never stray [Chorus] Now every second is a classic, when nothing last Gotta take a moment and appreciate the fact that This world is turning faster and faster And once you found the real it's hard to tolerate the plastic I ain't no Christian, ain't no Catholic but I believe God gon' shine his light on everyone that never had shit I need some answers to these questions that I'm asking We used to be connected, who detached us? [Post Chorus] Who? Who? Who? Who? (No separation) Who? Who? Who? Who? You. You. You. You (Divide and conquer) Me. Me. Me. Me (It's the Art of War) Us. We. We Who detached us? (Look) [Interlude: Steve Jobs] Death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish It was their farewell message as they signed off And now, I wish that for you Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish
