[Verse 1]
God, I look so good I could get arrested
God, I look so good should be giving lessons
Got a flock a girls, say it's so impressive
Shit's so boring, I could fall asleep
Butter in my ear but nobody lick it
Tell me not to fear but the lights are clicking
Throw me against the wall, I don't feel it sticking
Got a concussion, I can't fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I appreciate
All the blogs and the props and the daps and the shouts and the claps
And the pics and the tags in the press and the times we made out
But just to make it to
All the fights and the doubts and the debt and the shame and the cold
And the work that won't break me from my cage
[Chorus]
All the things we dream of, so insane
It's for the birds
It's for the birds
Faster so the masters know our name
It's for the birds
It's for the birds
[Verse 2]
So crowded in my head, I don't know how to hush it
Crew tryna get fed, you gon' have to trust it
Tripping on my legs, don't know what the fuss is
They love to show a fire on TV
Singing every song all without intention
Checking if they saw, I got zero mentions
Filling up my lungs, can't get out a sentence
Go 'head and light the fire, I won't scream
[Pre-Chorus]
But I appreciate
That it's tough and there's nowhere to run when you lose, when you win
It's enough for a turn, all the rules say now push and burn out
And that there's never proof
That it's worth all the nights that you miss with your friends who don't call
To remind you your childhood-self would be sick
[Chorus]
All the things we dream of, so insane
It's for the birds
It's for the birds
Faster so the masters know our name
It's for the birds
It's for the birds
[Bridge]
Like all the vultures whispering who make it hard to know what's real (It's for the birds)
(It's for the birds)
They circle around me every day
Could give a fuck 'bout how I feel
All the blogs and the props and the daps and the shouts and the claps
And the pics and the tags in the press and the times
All the fights and the doubts and the debt and the shame and the cold and the work—
[Outro]
I'm just a wild-eyed ruin, babe
I'm just a wild-eyed ruin, babe
I'm just a wild-eyed ruin, babe
Stop asking why I ruin things
