Embarrassed

Lyrics

[Intro: Slug (spoken)] Look at me for a second No, seriously, look at me Honestly, ask yourself Lookin' at me, do you really think that there is any way possible for you to embarrass me? Look at me! Do you really think I care what you think? Do you really think I care what you say? Look at me! [Hook: Eyedea, Sage Francis] I'm embarrassed by my past actions and even more ashamed By my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name I'm embarrassed by my past actions and even more ashamed By my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name I'm embarrassed (why?) I'm embarrassing (what?) I'm an embarrassment (why?) And it's all adding up [x2] [Verse 1: Sage Francis] I'm so preoccupied with self-indulgency to see What you provided me, I fully appreciate your offerings The awful things in life are lessened By lessons of self-acceptance I want blessings I regret keeping a distance For future reference over ridges are preventable, I know the traps Humanity as a whole or we'll collapse, now close the gaps We dwell on what we share, what separates us We're all different, but what makes us a unit? Music is a universal language, so is anguish, pain, and torment Balance of emotions, it shows a happiness have upon us No more pickin' sides, one without the other is impossible (Uh, forgot what I was supposed to say) They call it bipolar, unstable conditions, they got me lookin' over my shoulder The book that I wrote ya was meant to move the time slower But it was spent cookin' my mind's motor, now I'm older [Hook: Sage Francis, Eyedea] I'm embarrassed by my past actions and even more ashamed By my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name Embarrassed by my past actions and even more ashamed By my present thoughts and future endeavors to future [?] I'm embarrassed (why?) I'm embarrassing (what?) I'm an embarrassment (why?) And it's all addin' up [x2] [Verse 2: Eyedea] It was in the cards that I'm to be forever haunted Hip hop is slowly but surely becoming the Big Brother I never wanted homie to hurt me, purely to mic Still my head is astonished with sonics, aesthetics Poetics and knowledge, some polished rhetoric Everything has its negative Conscience consciously at it Constantly get rid of the rigorous repetitive movements Been better than you since It's easier to talk to you about it than to do it Here I am, center of the spotlight They all drunk and smilin', waiting for their cockfight "Time to entertain," says the clock of life So I became the freaky kid I'm starin' at Even though you know it's not right Embarrassment, it's in between insecurity and arrogance I'm a machine with a clarity I can barely grip So if I seem red in the face, it's not 'cause I feel out of place It's just that [Hook: Eyedea] I'm embarrassed by my past actions and even more ashamed By my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name Embarrassed by my past actions and even more ashamed By my present thoughts and future endeavors to kill the breakdown [Breakdown: Slug] And I can yell all day, all night, all day I still doubt that you would hear a word I say And I can drive all night, all day, all night But if you stay with me, you'll never get it right [x2] [Verse 3: Slug] I was never much for the self-driven skepticism I was that cat that let distraction affect my vision You were the kitten that was screaming Cover up the sound of landing or crashing, however it was going down But it's goin' down, it's goin' fast And I have no doubts about whether or not it's gonna last Fill the glass, tilt your head back Let it trickle through the throat to where you hide your giggles and your laughs I'll wait (I'm waitin') to find the correct departure time (departure time) Shine my eyes (shine my eyes) to keep the lies from climbin' up inside the mind (inside the mind) Some belong to you and some belong to me But none of them escape the contemplation necessary You can't scare me (uh-uh) but you can keep it buried Put your hands on the circle, try to steer me And now that I sing (sing) all of my songs for singing (singing) I'm guessing that it's just a test to see how strong I can bring it
