Oddisee - Invisible Walls

Woke up with an attitude this morning
Fuck plates, I got a buffet
You work last night, I was up late
And I thank God for my lady
Tryna ease me up from a rough day
With some good love, I couldn't fuck straight
But I, she think it's her, I said, “Girl, it's me”
I gotta work the word, give me the word to me
I know you're hurt, you're not always first
But I work to please
Don't you ever think about deserting me
‘Cause we work together so perfectly
Minus you ‘cause like minus me
You see, all my stress is self-inflicted
Coming from the fact that I'm tryna get shit
Got no regrets, so the kid was limping
But what I got left, man, I gotta protect it
One hand reach while the other hand holding
Got a silver line that I'm tryna make golden
I'm the alchemist, I'm just bouncing shit
Steady tryna breach what's already been broken
Live your life, it's insatiable, sensational, inspirational
Moments to reflect, I can take a few
I don't break through, just blaze through
Headline, man, making news as I go along with the story, too
Not sure what I gotta do for invincible is the obstacle and that's true

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by
INVISIBLE WALLS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by
INVISIBLE WALLS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by
INVISIBLE WALLS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by
INVISIBLE WALLS

And I tell myself that I have to
Need to, got to, must do, will do, trust
I got a to do list with a “still” in front
Yet I'm still in front, guess I'm fake behind
Like nick his ass then strip the cash
Keep finding stuff to keep me intact
‘Cause I race for time
Ain't nothing telling me to wait behind
Acting like people tryna take what's mine
And I'm making mine but ain't pretty there
‘Cause I really care what people say
‘Cause I've seen you stare like
I'm the only colored brother up in here
As I ask to sit it interrupts your flares
Heaven up, seen them once prepared
See myself as a nigga bumping tares
And the café people don't want me there
Yeah, the past ain't here but I'm stick in there
Climbing over a wall, they wasn't there to witness the falling
So I prop it up like I'm not enough in what matter I'm involved in
Grabble, lacking in cause, or the cause lacking a lil' ripple
Perplex my complex and my nerve is deceitful
So I take the sea ‘cause I take what's mine and transform the day to a place to lay
But I pick to sign that reason, I shall overcome what I climb

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by
INVISIBLE WALLS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by
INVISIBLE WALLS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by
INVISIBLE WALLS
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain't nothing round me, I'm surrounded by
INVISIBLE WALLS
