you been through enough/ you been through a lot
you been getting by on being cute and getting off
you had better not try to play or placate me
i'm not a player but i'll crush you if you crush on me
conversation, impression, affectation mistaken for affection
i been waiting, waiting for a while now and
i'm impatient maybe fake a smile now and
i'm a little bit political, i'm partying
independent, popular, and liberal, in charge of things
targeted for ridicule, addicted to the arguing
and ending up an object of debate in any bar i'm in
my boy said "who" with a bottle in his left hand
"get a clue, get a mirror, get a hot friend"
i'm a little more political, i'm partying
targeted for ridicule, addicted to the arguing

control? i never had it, if i had i would have flown
i'm prone to having habits, had an old one grab a hold
no, i'm not an addict, no one know me as a drone
ay, wake the dragon, make that happen, take me home
and i'm a take my castle back and i'm a take my throne
and fly, fuck yeah, i'll rap or die in the game of microphones
i'm goin, i'm going, homie i'm in my zone
but i'm on my own, blowing smoke, it is known

i been through a lot, i been through enough
i been getting by on being high and goofing off
i had better not try to lay or look for blame
i'm not a player, no i'm lying, i'm a fucking game
medication, imperfection, hesitation mistaken for rejection
i been waiting, waiting for a while now and
i'm impatient, maybe fake a smile now and
i'm an idiot savant, so me i'm gifted
trouble when i'm drunk, doubled up if i'm lifted
biffle said "what" with a spliff in her right hand
"give it up, right your name on the nightstand"
and i might land at last in the limelight
you can be my right now or you can be my not quite
and she give a fuck, so me i'm gifted
trouble when i'm drunk doubled up if i'm lifted

control? i never had it, if i had i would have flown
i'm prone to having habits, had an old one grab a hold
no, i'm not an addict, no one know me as a drone
ay, wake the dragon, make that happen, take me home
and i'm a take my castle back and i'm a take my throne
and fly, fuck yeah, i'll rap or die in the game of microphones
i'm goin, i'm going, homie i'm in my zone
but i'm on my own, blowing smoke, it is known

time passes, then it pauses
and the fact is i'm lost as the cause is
would have called but i thought i ought not to
you been through enough, i been though a lot too
time pauses, then it lingers
fuck all this, middle fingers
i been through enough, i been through a lot
i been through with you longer than i knew or thought

control, i never, i never had control
and if i had ever, man whatever, i'd have flown
i'm prone to having habits, had an old one grab a hold
fuck this fucking rap shit fuck this track
just take me home

control? i never had it, if i had i would have flown
i'm prone to having habits, had an old one grab a hold
no, i'm not an addict, no one know me as a drone
ay, wake the dragon, make that happen, take me home
and i'm a take my castle back and i'm a take my throne
and fly, fuck yeah, i'll rap or die in the game of microphones
i'm goin, i'm going, homie i'm in my zone
