"you're tryin to cover up the holes in your sneakers.." x 2
3
[The Grouch]
4
When you first get it it's shining and sparkling
5
you hold it high like a trophy and start targeting
6
what you goin to use it on
7
where does it belong and for how long
8
you can barely sleep and when you wake you hope it isn't gone
9
(gone..gone..gone..)
10
for it's still livin
11
at the very least you're given energy and a lot of it, you're drivin
12
you wrap it in a ribbon
13
and you look at it all day
14
you hook it up in a way
15
that with it you can play
16
regardless of anything else it isn't yourself
17
seen in a reflection it's a super-clean ressurection of you're better half
18
measure that and multiply it
19
hope to buy it and treat it as good as how much you think you need it
20
I bet later you won't feed it like my puppy
21
and leave it in the gutter for some other to think he's lucky
22
but of course you broke it
23
cause you had no patience with it
24
probably didn't deserve it in this life time but you lift it
25
now what do you know now?
26
can you recall and recognize how it goes down when it does?
27
(does..does..does..)
28
Chorus: [The Grouch]
29
How many times have you had a pair of clean nikes?
30
and scuffed 'em up hella bad, kinda like these?
31
on my feet, man, I used to fucking clean 'em
32
toothbrush and everything
33
now I'm just mean to 'em
34
How many times have you had a pair of clean nikes?
35
and scuffed 'em up hella bad, kinda like these?
36
on my feet, man, I used to fucking clean 'em
37
toothbrush and everything
38
now I'm just mean to 'em
39
now I'm just mean to 'em
40
now I'm just mean to 'em
41
now I'm just mean to 'em
42
[The Grouch]
43
Seen so many waste away what they had, it makes me mad
44
but they never know 'till it's too late to appreciate and be glad
45
seems like the ones with nothing are the ones who put in work
46
and use what they have to get where they're going and showing the jerks
47
leaving them wishin they would have thought of that or just said it
48
had it embedded in their minds now they regret it
49
let it sink in and get to thinking 'bout what you got
50
how you can freak it or treat it right so you don't experience a loss later
51
whether it's a cross-fader, girlfriend or a thought
52
when you're mind is in a whirl-wind you better remember to stop
53
and smell the roses between dosing
54
cause for every breath you take upon this planet you're one of the chosen
55
Chorus: [The Grouch]
56
How many times have you had a pair of clean nikes?
57
and scuffed 'em up hella bad, kinda like these?
58
on my feet, man, I used to fucking clean 'em
59
toothbrush and everything
60
but now I'm just mean to 'em
61
[The Grouch]
62
At what point was this ok?
63
I gotta ask myself (self)
64
let me retrace my steps
65
will I surpass myself?
66
or am I destined to be lazy?
67
because honestly, lately, I really just don't amaze me
68
it drives me crazy 'cause I'm searchin
69
constantly getting shit then throwing it away thinking I'm workin
70
really I know the answers but they hurtin
71
covering curtains over my problems so they worsen
72
drinkin and cursin invades my person it becomes urgent
73
sometimes I can't live it but I can word it
74
and that's my therapy so dear to me and I know this
75
but often it's too hard to keep my focus
76
Chorus: [The Grouch]

(The Grouch)
84
Fuck 'em..
85
up in this.. creek..
86
scratched in background
87
(and I talkin 'bout sneakers neither..)
