Stare straight ahead Don't pay no mind to the dead Don't pay no mind, they're just waiting for you to pass Stare straight ahead Said, let's play a game of pretend Let's play a game And just say that life moves too fast I've been hustling And I'm still suffering now I need more than two bags and big submarines Will you be there when it's been two weeks And the crowd's gone home and it's cool to leave? Or stay in your house while they clean the streets Cleaning up people like me New is the best Let's all forget those who left We ran out of time And we couldn't afford the rent Street is my bed You treat me like I'm all that's bad I might feel ashamed But you try living inside a bag Ah ah, ah ah Ah no, ah no Stare straight ahead Don't pay no mind to the sad People with problems I'm on the ledge Well, maybe it's all in my head Please, act like you're not afraid of me when you land Let's play opposite You paid a lot for it now A high-rise apartment, a job in New Markets Might last you the year Now, it's your neighborhood, ain't it You wanna make it good, paint it, hmm Make it plain, you changed the name Now you saved it Stare straight ahead Let's play a game of pretend Said, let's play a game And just say that life moves too fast
