Like the Rest of Us

See I've been here for thirty-some years

Lookin' at myself in the same dirty mirror

So it ain't like I don't comprehend

Open that bottle, swallow that friend

No crime to take a little too much

Got time to drink away a few months

Got a little cocaine habit

But he says he only does it if somebody else has it

Go do that shit, do that shit, lady

She went vegetarian for the baby

Third trimester, I see the kid kick

She showed me outside when she gave me a cigarette

Shit, there's no way to measure it

Not every pony grows up to be a pegasus

Ya gotta let people be hypocrites

Count your blessin's and mind yo business

Stuck with yourself like the rest of us

Dirt gets done and then we back to dust

Runnin' in place

Sun in my face

Let me fly 'way

Heaven won't wait

Heaven won't wait

Let me fly 'way

Get in my way

Everyday

Heaven won't wait

Let me fly 'way

Get in my way

Everyday

Just tryna keep my mind on work

It's like that's the only way to love this life on Earth

It's like everyone takes number one in the race

'Cause we all keep runnin' in place

Here kitty kitty, can't train that fox

Must be drinkin' that name brand scotch

All of us cut from the same damn clothe

Some of us never cut the price tags off

She ended up on the pole

With her heels pointin' at her Jesus she used to know

Stripped her down to her naked body

We made her drown in a lake full of patriarchy

In between the pride and the misery

With the infinite supply of sympathy

Are these invisible walls that hold me

Like this goldfish bowl is the whole sea

Stuck with yourself like the rest of us

Dirt gets done and then we back to dust

Runnin' in place

Sun in my face

Let me fly 'way

Heaven won't wait

Heaven won't wait

Let me fly 'way

Get in my way

Everyday

Heaven won't wait

Let me fly 'way

Get in my way

Everyday
