Poets and the Beast
Lyrics
Fell in love with nothing cuz nothing could last forever.
I’m doing good yeah but we could all be doing better.
If the rain don’t kill me I’ll remain the man I should be.
Follow me when I’m climbing but no one be standing with me.
The poet took me, got me thinking bout who I could be.
How’d you think you understand me if you just misunderstood me?
Falling before you push me I’m walkin right out the bottom.
Either be the man I should be or embrace the fuckin problem.
Fuck appeal to the public I’m dirt broke and rugged.
If you hate it learn to love it nothing fittin in my budget.
I kicked it before the bucket.
Hold more pain than you could stomach.
There’s the gutter, the basement, and then there’s me right above it.
What’s the matter you notice the difference in your attitude?
Whatever happened to not caring bout our different altitudes?
Walk the same damn path just on two separate avenues.
Work the same damn task but one man just has to lose.
Fell in love with nothing cuz nothing could last forever.
I’m doing good yeah but we could all be doing better.
If the rain don’t kill me I’ll remain the man I should be.
Follow me when I’m climbing but no one be standing with me.
The poet took me, got me thinking bout who I could be.
How’d you think you understand me if you just misunderstood me?
Falling before you push me I’m walkin right out the bottom.
Either be the man I should be or embrace the fuckin problem.
You wish it until you live it, love it until you break it.
Is she here to stay or visit? You love her but you won’t say it.
Cuz love, aín’t gonna make it probably lost it in the ashes.
Caught up in the basics, wasting time that passes.
Toast to all the bastards here’s a verse for every poet
whoever held the hand of opportunity just to blow it.
Got god, claiming he wrote it, it’s hard thinking you know him.
It’s dark, just for the moment, where’s the light so I showed him.
Fell in love with nothing cuz nothing could last forever.
I’m doing good yeah but we could all be doing better.
If the rain don’t kill me I’ll remain the man I should be.
Follow me when I’m climbing but no one be standing with me.
The poet took me, got me thinking bout who I could be.
How’d you think you understand me if you just misunderstood me?
Falling before you push me I’m walkin right out the bottom.
Either be the man I should be or embrace the fuckin problem.
