Nature of the Beast (feat. Portugal. The Man & The Last Artful, Dodgr)

Yeah, yeah We're like sheep to the slaughter Everybody's caught up tryna find Something to be a part of Livin' with our guards up all the time Forever with a wall up And breaking through it all never crossed the mind The world seems smaller And greatness is withering on the vine Won't anybody take the lead? It's ourselves we love the least Everyone seems make believe That's the nature of the beast Couple dollars and a dream What did mama say, kid? Everything ain't what it seem Life is what you make it We are, we are Going through the same thing Going through the same shit We are, we are Going through the same thing Going through the same shit Yeah, all I wanted was to be more poppin' and to see more profit What's the detour options? Aye I feel like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, less Denzel Washington When people are watching me If the right amount of likes and follows can make me less hollow I'd somehow be more complete But people tend to be more toxic so we see more gossip And there's tension on the streets Won't anybody take the lead? It's ourselves we love the least Everyone seems make believe That's the nature of the beast Couple dollars and a dream What did mama say, kid? Everything ain't what it seem Life is what you make it We are, we are Going through the same thing Going through the same shit We are, we are Going through the same thing Going through the same shit Everybody's caught up tryna find Living with our guards up all the time And breaking through it all never crossed our mind And greatness is withering on the vine Couple dollars and a dream What did mama say, kid? Everything ain't what it seem Life is what you make it We are, we are Going through the same thing Going through the same shit We are, we are Going through the same thing Going through the same shit
