Silverslums - After the Party Lyrics

Space is the place where I wanna be
I dipped out early cause I didn't wanna showcase every single part of me
Three decades in, and here I am still trying to adjust
Who the hell do I reach out to?
Who the f*ck do I trust?
They say all you need is love
But it don't take much to see your bluff
It's a social game to get through those speakers to show what you're made of
Product of a kid watching Beat Street and Dark Crystal in the same night
Put on Pops records, turn on the Nintendo
We having a game night
A DJ who wanted his son to make jams for a living
A nerdy brown kid from a desert town was down for that vision
It's been a drawn out mission
But I still got rhythm and ambition
Put in work for some listens
Now tell me how you really feeling?

I wanted to be part of the party
Then I realized that aint a part of me
Im a brown recluse, sometimes blue
A well reserved oddity
And thats ok with my with me
Eventually I'll find my scene
I got my fam, I got my queen
Aiming to make music and get cheese
So I can finally roll in an 81 Beamer
Smoking weed and turning keys
To a dope house just a 20 minute cruise from the city
But if I sold my soul I could never forgive me
A dreamer dreaming big but still filled with pride and envy
They want you to be a big shot, but really you pinching pennies
The party is international but the room be feeling empty
Promoting yourself like some kind of brand
I can't really comprehend
All I know music is my religion
I only wanna make the room dance

I guess Im just a dreamer
Yea I guess I'm just a dreamer
Im no different than the rest of the people
On the ongoing hunt for rhyme and reason

My head roams with nowhere to go
At least I got my girl and my goals when I get home
I've got so much to show
But I feel better when I put down my phone
My head roams with nowhere to go
At least I got my girl and my goals when I get home
I've got so much to show
But I feel better when I put down my phone
