Derrik Ment@l - Stale Lyrics

Lookin' at myself in the mirror
When I wake up in the mornin', I don't hear her
Anymore, tellin' me, good morning
And how did you sleep babe? do you want to sleep late?
Stop thinkin' 'bout it, got to hit the freeway
Got to make money with no delay
Life ain't prepaid, you don't get a rebate
Move with the sway of the tide, like a stingray
Keep the composure, never be a poser
Hold it all together during the overexposure
Maybe one day, we just might find closure
Maybe we'll destroy it all with a bull dozer
I been a loner, with a few pals
My circle seems smaller now
Things go stale, feet don't fail
If so don't put names in your mouth
Shit'll go south, if you want to get loud
When I f*ckin' see you, better be what you're about
Don't be talkin' dumb shit, on a website
From a smart phone, if you can't box, bring a car load
No sorrow, go borrow
Some sense, better think about tomorrow
Better ask somebody, they all know
What happens when you meet a desperado
Doin' what I can, you don't understand
I know the demand, but I'm lookin' in my hands
I'm not frail, but I can't derail
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I keep tryin' to get help, but it's all gone stale
Doin' what I can, you don't understand
I know the demand, but I'm lookin' in my hands
I'm not frail, but I can't derail
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I keep tryin' to get help, but it's all gone stale
Things fall apart, it's part of the art
Start to accept it, 'cause it's hard when it's dark
Harsh antiseptic, and it's gonna leave a mark
I got a lot of fuel, and I'm 'bout to through a spark
Hit the ground runnin', mean machine gunnin'
Better look both ways, when you see me comin'
Headed to the studio, already hummin'
Gonna use every bit of power that I summon
Prosperity seems like a rarity
Anymore, all I really want is some clarity
Not charity, merely, just some sincerity
This ain't a parody, this is my therapy
Give me my medicine, for the state that my head is in
Don't go mistakin' it for no other kind of settlement
I crave coalition, and demolition
I been feelin' like I'm on a mission, since days of my detention
I ain't about to end it, they can not suspend it
I am the only one who can recognize my limit
You could be sorry, 'cause that don't even take a minute
No need to worry, if you gon' always be a cynic
Take 'em to the clinic, it would be a privilege
This is how you handle all the people that are frivolous
Why all the talkin', when you just need to f*ckin' live this
Get back, some day, what you put in it, with interest
Doin' what I can, you don't understand
I know the demand, but I'm lookin' in my hands
I'm not frail, but I can't derail
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I keep tryin' to get help, but it's all gone stale
Doin' what I can, you don't understand
I know the demand, but I'm lookin' in my hands
I'm not frail, but I can't derail
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I keep tryin' to get help, but it's all gone stale
Like the smoke in the air
Like the time that we share
Like reasons to care
Might not be there
And those folks don't know
But I don't need them to
In the past I thought, that the battles I fought
And the love that I brought, was breathin' room
Now I'm up to speed, sick of what they see
Rather die on my feet, than live on my knees
Like a man once said, we are not yet dead
If you're thinkin' of runnin', you're gonna be runnin' out of tread
Runnin' out of thread, sewin' your wounds up
Wrap it 'round your head, without throwin' a noose up
Take in what they said, and let it push you the right way
And then it doesn't matter what these idiots might say
We don't need nobody knockin' the nice day
All I ever wanted besides change, was life saved
We can be the logical reason to hope
So we can climb up from the end of our rope
Inside this climate, it's outrageous to cope
I can't just act like everything is a joke
You don't want to devour yourself either
You need a vacation, but you can't awaken the sleeper
Dig deeper, 'fore you need to meet the reaper
Their attitude is contagious, don't want to catch a fever
All of them will just continue to sleep
And I don't want to be a part of the sheep, I keep
Doin' what I can, you don't understand
I know the demand, but I'm lookin' in my hands
I'm not frail, but I can't derail
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I keep tryin' to get help, but it's all gone stale
Doin' what I can, you don't understand
I know the demand, but I'm lookin' in my hands
I'm not frail, but I can't derail
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I'd ask for some help, but it's all gone stale
I keep tryin' to get help, but it's all gone stale
