Verse 1:
2013, we change careers like underwear
dodge commitment like that puddle there
weâre unaware
act like being unprepared is just another double dare
we have to follow through or else be another square
how do we settle down acting like weâll never drown?
taking pictures with our lovers rub it in for those who never found
what it was to be in a committed relationship
it just makes em sick everytime we post our pics
but maybe they have reason to be pessimisstic
when weâre narcasstic & focus hard on hearts & kisses
plus when most flings only last a couple weeks
we point & call that couple week & celebrate their buckled knees
home is more than just the forth plate
but weâre rounding third & see the court case & divorce rate blocking home plate
so I slide up under the glove
& bet it all... in the name of my love
Itâs ironic everything nowadays is touch
touch screens, iTouch but still man weâve lost touch
you may now instagram the bride
& plan your life through the cameraâs eyes
fantasize, if only there was a filter that helped you stand beside
your lady like your Gramps even after Grandma died
the book of love is a book we never canonized
weâd rather light the wick and watch the canon fly
my father is my hero a real admirable man
always kept composure when heâd handle the fam
cook us up some eggs, maybe scramble the ham
& despite all that I still battle the man, itâs crazy man
none of us are really tres bien
so how do we create a home that we can raise babies in
how do we flip a wife from a lady friend
when it seems weâre degressing as a race of homosapiens
part of me wants to be George Clooney
never settle down every night different groupies
trying to feed a family with a microphone
it goes two turntables and a wife at home
Verse 2:
it goes two turn tables and a microphone
a swollen ego that believes all the hype ya on
boobs out black sharpie write it on
while tryna be faithful to ya wife at home
my phone rings on the way out
tellin me my boyâs fightin in the playground
wish that I could say now that Iâm on my way now
but Iâm in another city sittin on a greyhound everyday now
high anxiety, low sobriety, what is piety? whereâs your light in me?
cuz I canât find and iâm tryna do some soul searchinâ
but itâs black inside from all the smoke lurkin
religious say gays are ruining marriage right
meanwhile these parasites infiltrate our parentâs eyes
lost love no return ticket from paradise
itâs ok nowadays you get married twice
nowadays you get married twice
part of me wants to be George Clooney
never settle down every night different groupies
trying to feed a family with a microphone
it goes two turntables and a wife at home
religious say gays are ruining marriage right
meanwhile these parasites infiltrate our parentâs eyes
lost love no return ticket from paradise
itâs ok nowadays you get married twice
nowadays you get married twice
the first time imma do it right
