Two of Me Lyrics

It's like there's two of me

One that is now and the other one who will be

The latter's mad at the former for acting stupidly, so

Why the fuck don't I ever think about Future Me

That guy's future is bright

Like the end of a tunnel or Brussels festival nights

An excellent life full of success and exceptional luck

But Present-Me just keeps messing it up

Present-Me's watching videos on my phone

And Future-Me wants to be left alone

So he can watch more videos and binge more shitty shows

Until he goes and looks at Past-Me like, really bro

But we're the same damn person

A dude who was made to create grand verses

A dude who hates trying to stave off his urges

And makes something great go to bad than to worse (Shit)

There's a person within me that

Wants to go beyond infinity, Buzz Lightyear

But definitely there's another guy that just

Wants to drink gin fizzies and Bud Light beer

Watch me take hits and sip more than a little wine

Watch while I consume this french fries and fried chicken pile

A single night without one of those it's been a while

I might as well be chugging vodka-mayo Homer Simpson-style

It's gotten pretty bad

I didn't expect this type of shit as a little lad

It's making me more than a little mad

To think that I might regret the things that didn't happen

The only magic we have from the past is our memory

It's rabbits in hats for a bit then it's misery

They say it's either stoppin, coffin, or penitentiary

So why is blasted out of my brain the state I tend to be… in

It zaps all my energy, and

Rapping becomes half as fun as it generally

… is. I probably should quit

And get Future Me a hottie wife and some kids

And get Future Me a nice car and a crib

I don't wanna come off as far too intense, but

If that Future Me offs himself it makes sense

I really hate to say it but that's just the way it is

I'd rather be drunk for a lifetime

Than to use a fucking 9 to 5 as a lifeline

Wait, you too? High five

The American Dream's more overhyped than Twilight

I'd love to see the limelight shine bright

On the right side of my face through a skylight

But I'd rather bring a fork to a knife fight than

End up somewhere at the bottom of the pipeline

I don't want to watch my life fly by on the

Sidelines and end up needing glasses for my hindsight

But for that to happen to Future Me

Present Me's gotta start being more of a nice guy

I'm my own best frenemy

They say all the best things in life you can get for free

So why I squander Future-Me's money's a mystery

Why do I keep acting like that guy isn't me

Sometimes it feels like improving's an illusion

And Present Me doesn't want to ever see Future blooming

Almost didn't finish this song to prove it to him

And said "Fuck you" to Future Me and his stupid music

But this song came straight from the ether

Which almost gives me hope and makes me a believer

That I was meant for this, I just need to let my soul flow

But will I ever get my shit together? I don't know
