YRN - Look Me In The Eyes Lyrics

Our expectations started out much smaller, but you just kept upping the ante
What if I don't want to be president
It's too late for that. You're going to do it
Oh, really
Have you decided my position on capital gains tax cuts
What are my foreign policy objectives
That doesn't matter
What does matter is you'll be the only person in that position
Who will ever give a crap about people like us
We've been getting the short end of the stick for thousands of years
And I, for one, am sick of it
Now you are going to be president, mister, and that's the end of it
Did it ever occur to you that I could have taken this job
Gotten really rich, and then bought my way into being president
Of course it did. We decided against it
What!
Because then you wouldn't be a good president
You wouldn't have suffered enough
I've been suffering all my life
I'm sorry. It's not enough
You know what it's like to be poor, and you know what it's like to work hard
Now you're going to learn what it's like to sweep floors and bust your ass
And accomplish twice as much as all the kids around you
And it won't mean anything because they will still look down on you
Gone have to
I told you once shit you don't even know
I shared my heart with you but it would never really grow
I held so much shit in but you would never really know
I held so much shit back so you could maybe find some hope
I keep it to my chest and hold it, never let em close
I often feel this way cause no one ever sees his soul
If you know you know, f*ck maybe that's just the life I chose
I took some dubs in life, I always keep a heavy load
Heaven knows you're on my mind, know I'm here like every time
I got no one else to call, I can't talk just like a mime
It's okay just never mind, guess I'll just internalize
Cut em down to size with seven knives, never pick a side
Doing double time, I'm feeling good, you'll never get em now
Someone come and kill em, push em down, now his feelings out
It's okay for you to make a play, is it really now
No parade for anyone until we save Priscilla's son
It's okay for anyone to act the way that they want
When it comes to me I always feel I gotta put fronts up
I'm not no chump dumb f*ck, y'all gotta do something
I gotta chase someone, y'all niggas ain't on shit
I hear the same old shit, just say my name know I'm lit
They wanna train like this, it takes a day long list
I got no weight on my chest
I had to tell you that I'm going for this shit, I'm the best
I got a quarter in the corner of the coroner's desk
I'll lift a city when I'm sore, Lord I'm sort of the best
That's word to my kents, got foot on they heads, got foot on they necks
Nobody else is coming up next, except for YRN
That's why they can't pretend to be the biggest one
To ever step on the fence and push it down to it's ends
Cause listen, I'm at my wits end, I'm feeling Christian
I just be talking to god, sometimes ask why I don't fit in
I got nobody in my corner that can fill a wish list
But I got some nobody got and I've been saving this shit
I'm the shit, you had to come and hear this shit right from me
It's a mix, can't get no help from a wish
This brother's dead don't miss, it's not no regular trips
I didn't hear what he said, but I was sensing a diss
No one's touching him, quit
And you will want so much for them to like you, and they just won't
And it'll break your heart, and that'll make your heart bigger
And open your eyes, and finally you will realize
That there's more to life than proving you're the smartest person in the world
I'm sorry Malcolm, but you don't get the easy path
You don't get to just have fun and be rich and live the life of luxury
This is unbelievable, you actually expect me to be president
No, no, I'm sorry, you expect me to be one of the greatest presidents
In the history of the United States
You look me in the eye, and you tell me you can't do it
