Exodious - Intro Lyrics

I've been driving on auto pilot
Sky diving without a pilot
I've been surviving through all the mileage
Hoping to be arriving on the scene
With new knowledge on how to make it
Struggling to write these rhymes
Cause I can't fake it
I feel like I'm on my own island
Just whilin
But I just can't gauge it
Missing the old days of hatchbacks
And drive ins
I'm in no position to be advising
Anybodys career
Steering somebody in the wrong direction
Is one of the worst things I fear
Between that
And knowing the end is near
I shed tears many times
I feel so trapped in a sphere
It's been a hell of a year
I feel like I'm on the frontier
Battling these other fools
Just to make success of my career
Sometimes I have the urge to disapppear
And reappear in the clear
Because I'm lacking all the cheer
Not the team just the gear
I've got the armor
Not the spear
But sooner or later
All you're gonna see is our rear

We've been strugglin and striving
I've been hurt but I'm not dying
We've been done but now we're thriving
We've been traveling but now we're arriving
We've been tryna cruise
Now I'm giving y'all the blues
I've been bruised too many times
I've felt robbed of my shoes

I've been snoozed
Hurt, broken, and abused
I don't mean to confuse
But I'll show y'all who is who
Screw the rules
Were on the lose
Soon you'll see us on the news
I'm the proof
I tell the truth
Success?
Man I just ooze
The haters lit the fuse
I'm amused
At how these people
Acting crazy off the booze
Despite the plays and the views
I ball on these fools
Like I went to syracuse
Get rid of the residue
We here for the culture
Not just for the revenue
We business men
Man my suit is chartreuse
I stay afloat like canoes
I'm nuts like cashews

I get done
I can't bother with the excuse
Only option is to exceed
Screw the money
I'm with my team
I need the love
Not the greed
Once my people are fed
Only then can I eat
You wanna join the operation
Take a seat
