Property Lyrics

And I don't do well

With people in the world

Out here trying to control me

Unless you're my girl

I don't really see a reason

For you trying to console me

Some people fail

Living isn't property

If I plant the seed

Does it mean that I own the tree?

You got that

You got that

You got that look in your eye

You're holding space

For what's different

But leaning less

Towards compromise

And these powerful notions

They form

A less potent disguise

If nothing else

I reveal my pride

If not for love

I will live for mine

And if I'm living in the dark

Maybe you can bring the rays

When the sun is making waves

You can help me in the shade

I

Need to practice self-restraint

While

I'm meditating

On my dreams

And what think bout

And for a minute

Thought a lot about you

A monument

To my all substance abuse

But lately

I've been absolved of your use

I used to be in thought

More than action

I need that satisfaction

A means to an end

For the questions

You've been asking

And my gift is in the past-tense

The present doesn't last

When your future is a has been

I'm a relative being

With relative needs

Live by relative means

Relating to me

I don't do well

With people in the world

Out here trying to control me

Unless you're my girl

I don't really see a reason

For you trying to console me

Some people fail

Living isn't property

If I plant the seed

Does it mean that I own the tree?

(Well, well, well, well)

If I dismember all my passiveness

What does that mean?

When aggressive doesn't ask for less

It's too obscene

I forge a reason

My solar plexus is the region

In the pit of my stomach

Reside the spoils of conscience

I'm awkward

Not flawless

But everybody is

Don't waste time

Trying to figure out

Where everybody fits

I'll be a square

But don't cut corners

In my circle of friends

Cause at the end of the day

They are shaping this kid

If you believe in everything

Then why do you keep questioning

The power in the way you make things right

(Alright, alright)

Your fortune is told

By the way that you think

If your mind isn't free

Then your heart will never be

What you seek are ideas of the mind

(And so are mine)

I used to be in thought

More than action

I need that satisfaction

A means to an end

For the questions

You've been asking

And my gift is in the past-tense

The present doesn't last

When your future is a has been

I'm a relative being

With relative needs

Live by relative means

Relating to me

And I don't do well

With people in the world

Out here trying to control me

Unless you're my girl

I don't really see a reason

For you trying to console me

Some people fail

Living isn't property

If I plant the seed

Does it mean that I own the tree?
