Anderson Paak - Origin Stories Lyrics

[Verse 1: CJ Cruz]
These people think that their rules will save them
These people think their sanity is a safehaven
Hating and reviling what they don't understand
They thought I was a period, I'm an ampersand
They tortured me, they burned me, they dragged me through hell and the worst part is I can't even trust myself
I can't tell the versions of myself apart anymore and these shattered funhouse mirrors, it's distorted
I swore I would never hurt her!
I never could've hurt her!
They're lying to me, they're all screaming bloody murder
When I get out of this cage they'll feel my wrath, they'll beg for their lives, and I'll just laugh and laugh

Because reality is so very arbitrary, full of woes
You cling so tightly, just let go
True and false have been mixed together in a drink, sit back, have a sip and watch the world sink

(uh, uh, uh, uh) x 2

[Verse 2: Mick]
(Look, yeah look)

Look me in the eyes and you see the water flowin'. (Creek)
Keep a fucker rowin even if they boat ain't floatin. (Sinking)
Never been a person, never been a human being. (Never)
Everything's so crazy, man I feel like I been dreamin'. (*Yawn*)
Hold up
Wait. (What?)
Lemme breath
Pressure on my shoulders and I gotta [?] (Please)
Living is a burden so a burka's what I need. (Yeah)
Feel like I'm a lover and the one that's guarding me is me
[Bridge: Tony Madera]
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
I know I'm not perfect
I live a life of sin
I don't want to stay
From this, I wish I could stray
Cause I spend all my nights laying wide awake


[Verse 3: Nico Raimont]
(Yo, yo, yo)
Hear the smash of the automobile as it crashes
Sendin people flying, turning rubber to ashes
Bystanders ask "why"
But hey that's life
Look through my eyes, man it's ride or die

Get rich or try
Stay on that grind
Stay true or lie on the ground
No sound of his heartbeat
Down the street, hear the rev of his Harley
A quintet of people gather around the scene of the crime
"All's fine" a voice assures them, as it takes out a 9
10 11 12
Bodies hit the floor
"To hell is where youre gonna go!" the crowd then roars
"Oh is that so?
Well,you must be mistaken
Cause,like you, in a few seconds
Heaven's where I'll be taken
Heaven's where I'll be taken
Heaven's where we'll be taken"

Organize all your lies
In pain, let them writhe
Mustn't leave witnesses
Make them all blind
Sleep with eyes open wide

Bat one or cry
Bat one or cry
Bat one or-

[Joker Tape Audio #1: Joker & Hugo Strange]
Joker: "Hello! Anyone in there? No sense of humor. Oh, the strong and silent type, eh? Think you're safe? Give me 20 minutes and a can opener and I'll have you whimpering like a schoolgirl. You might like it."

Hugo Strange: That's enough, patient. Guard, leave us. (yes sir!) Good afternoon, my name is professor Hugo Strange and you are?"
Joker: "Two face...Catwoman...Batman!"

Hugo Strange: "We can play these games as long as you like."

Joker: "Great! I love games."

Hugo Strange: "Not in my facility, you won't."

(Hit Me!)

[Verse 4: Anderson .Paak]
Jokers and Cinderellas at the ball of confusion
The tension is high but niggas is still fly
Sophisticated puppets with political ties
Organized crime, paperback shrine
Pussy with a price tag, money all the time
Pills and a nightcap runnin' through your spine
Niggas sippin' lean what a fiend for the high
Addiction is a bitch but we thuggin' 'til the end
And these bitches love the glitz so I'm turnin' up the lights
I'm rollin' out the whips, throwing the dice
You can roll if you like, do what you feel
You wanted a show? Just open your eyes
This is life as you know it
A few make it through, most won't survive
A penny with a hole with no hope inside
It's survival of the finesse
And my nigga's went to dinners
So we taking a bite
And I made up my mind
The whole world loves you when you're top of the line
The hoes gon' want you when you're thuggin' it right
But the feds gon' bust you if your money too husky man
Trust me, devils want you livin' in fright
Ain't that right?
