Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Can't do it, can't do it) Huh
And there it is, my wit's end, they brought me out my mind
You know I'm caught beside myself, pissed off and shit out of luck
Hey, I thought 'bout puttin' up
I don't have the time, oh, not today
(You know that's impossible)
If somebody got some shit to say
You know what, fuck it
Like yada yada
[Verse 2]
Oh, you know everything (Can't do it)
But not today (Can't do it)
But not today
[Verse 3]
My one and only, closest homie, we've carried on for days
I wanna burn another one down, but I'll go off in a blaze, yeah
I need to put it out, but I don't have the time, oh, not today
(You know that's impossible)
Has somebody got some shit to say?
[Verse 4]
Darker days were bound to come (It's what it seems)
Through eyes of Brenda's only son (Oh, I can see)
When your dreams become reality (How could it be?)
It's hard to keep a smile off the mug (Oh, look at me)
Casually talkin' that global warmth
As if that temperature didn't blow out your perm
[Verse 5]
Our days are numbered, I'd rather count what I earned
My greatest summer was spent on festival runs in Europe
Chicken wings and sushi, I've gotten used to the perks
Narrowly escapin' the holy war on the turf
[Verse 6]
Turf, yes, Lord
[Verse 7]
Came a long way from them open mics at Leimert
Forgive me if I walk like I got a chip on my shoulder
Label tried to play me like I didn't do all the work
I found another way through the open gate of my purpose
Now I'm goin' crazy like (Right?)
If they forget to die, I'm charging double for the purchase
Lo and behold, my little one, I've been gone for far too long
If I ever take this life for granted, you show me just how dumb
But the longer I stay, the less I'm paid (I don't have the time)
Oh, not today (You know that's impossible)
