Oh, wash my dream away as an anthropologist
They said I spend my time in vain seven years of schooling
I said, "Yes, I hit the walls, my head as the bumper
I ran in full clothes
But I left my right foot bare and naked"
I couldn't seem to gather all my hidden talents
All the friendly faces came when I looked back at them hence
I always love the knowledge I just told Marx, Geertz, and Mauss
Like spirits I keep it all alive
None was wasted after all
Some men came and asked me
"Oscar, are you a left?"
I gave them look instead
Figure the questions are a trap
Or maybe that could be their newest trick to race along
With me on the same track
Now the questions have changed
"Oscar, did I heard you rap?"
You see I started with Eastern Man three years ago
Last year I took a lesson about the fear of letting go
There came a Jester who spoke words
Many are forgetting than the micros came in
They said, "Hey, bung! Let's drink!"
Never it is a time to open up
I'm a schizophrenic man
Though I hate the pills
I acted like I don't need them to understand
My family is my victim
I ripped the ragged rag
When I'm out there, I'm a lantern that beams without light
One day 'ma approached me and asked, "What's troubling you, son?"
'Pa said, "Don't worry, bung, whatever done is done"
A man with a little skill versus the world of start-ups
Stomping on converse dreaming on Cinemax
I paved my way to the oceans with my friends on every corner
You drown but that's okay
"I'll pull you up", said my brother
I feel it and I know it
I made peace with the cronus
If I find wealth in the end, yes, it will be my bonus
Where's your voice, Oscar?
I don't know, I sing for those who dig
I sing for all the horses, the whores and their wigs
The statues speak the truth about embraces on thrones
Oscar swims through the Babylon sings for his heart and bones
Don't stop the melodies (don't stop the melodies)
I said don't stop the melodies (don't stop the melodies)
I said don't stop the melodies (don't stop the melodies)
I said don't stop the melodies (don't stop the melodies)
Don't stop the melodies
I said don't stop the melodies (don't stop the melodies)
I said don't stop the melodies (don't stop the melodies)
Don't stop the melodies
Don't stop the melodies
I said don't stop the melodies (don't stop the melodies)
(Don't stop) Don't stop the melodies
Don't stop the melodies (don't stop, don't stop)
