Artificial Dye
[Verse 1]
One of a kind, ain't nobody out there like me, tryin' real hard to vibe like me, I can see what makes you just like the rest
Beatin' on your chest like your Mikey so pass the Nike's so we can throw 'em on the wire, kicks hangin' in the air is part of the psyche
Only choice left is to fight or flee so you gotta see which one is most likely
And I might be sly or I might just be another guy but I'll never lie, I'm on another vibe, you're still on a diatribe and barely findin' words to describe what it's like in the studio too caught up in a fine booty hoe to encourage your listeners to grow so they go somewhere else
You lost but the slyest fox always looks up to the tree for the bow
[Chorus]
Another day in paradise and I'm currently a mile above the world and it is nice
Yeah, I may be sly but I'm shy and it's why I'll never die
My humble pie's all filling, no artificial dye
[Verse 2]
And I would've been here sooner but I let my heart have the final say, steady treatin' my gut like it was in the way
But that behavior's been done away with and now I'm someone the universe actually wanna play with
I made an amendment to my thinkin' now I don't look at the past with resentment and now I'm strictly focusin' on betterment and what I really meant is that you need stop treatin' your creativity like a proclivity because you're too busy worryin' bout how other people see
Until one day you learn to do the things that truly make you happy
And you'll bleed and you'll bleed, but you'll do what you love, it'll bring you the peace that you need, I'm a lead by example
Open your eye and start lookin' for the clues I'm hidin' on the mantle
[Chorus]
Another day in paradise and I'm currently a mile above the world and it is nice
Yeah, I may be sly but I'm shy and it's why I'll never die
My humble pie's all filling, no artificial dye
[Verse 3]
Do you ever take the time to wonder what you're doin' wrong or only what you're doin' right?
Do you ever wonder why your fellow man are all sufferin' like you from the same kind of blight?
And I might add, if you're sly then you might have at least an idea on why we're all so divided
And lookin' from the outside in wonderin' why a fair shot was not even close to provided
[Chorus]
Another day in paradise and I'm currently a mile above the world and it is nice
Yeah, I may be sly but I'm shy and it's why I'll never die
My humble pie's all filling, no artificial dye
Yeah, yeah no artificial dye
No no no no, artificial dye
