Khem Boi & Dr. Hollyhock - Be a Cloud Lyrics

I don't know why but, my whole life I've been surrounded by
Worms telling caterpillars how to be butterflies
Self hating individuals, that can't see past themselves
So full of themselves they gotta tip other people over
Not realizing every time they move they lose a part of themselves

Yo Everyone was happy when I was homeless
Just like they were all happy when they saw you in the hospital bed
It happens
Then again who knew the obstacles you left unfinished would leave their sons dead
But did they put it on themselves
I wonder about that, life's kinda funny
War, blood, and money its all the same to me
Nowadays
I've been avoiding confrontations finding out I really like enjoying isolation
Tell me why
In the books and movies they always give an explanation for why people come out to hurt you
The ones in my life didn't have anything to say they just took everything away from me
Some people make you say stupid things for a minute
Just so they can sound smarter to your peers for a lifetime
And if you think different or articulate
You really should shut up
We don't care how you got in it, we don't like your artwork

I understand like they couldn't stand my friend
The only difference was they couldn't stand until he was dead
But then again I try to get in their heads
A lot of people don't understand when you do things from the heart
Who's really critical who's just entertainment
Who's really listening who just wants a part
Who actually has something to say and who just wants to sound good
I sound like a f*cking owl with all these questions but I digress
Everyone gets criticism just for some people its hard to digest
You shouldn't distress, the more you eat it, the stronger you get
Don't get upset let yourself grow believe in yourself you're the one

A lot of people are gonna put down your dreams
There's not many people here to make your talent better
Don't lose feathers trying to use your talons
A falcon doesn't go out of its way to show a fox it's strong it just flies
Stay above it
A lot of people are trying to get a rise out you you should get used to that
Just stay grounded my brother you wont get shocked
The best things in life got cooked in high heat and pressure
Sometimes the coldest conditions are the best for you
Like the world around you
Snowflakes can even grow in the desert, I know this world does hurt but
Just like we all got a storm you can become one
Make it rain

Yeah, not many people are going to understand what you are
Like clouds they just see shapes they recognize they don't see the purpose
But really though do you think clouds like stop in the middle of the sky
Every time someone stops and is like yo that looks like this triangle I used to see
Nah man it just keeps going
That's how you gotta be
