Nature Of The Beast - Black Thought, Portugal. The Man, The Last Artful, Dodgr

Like sheep to the slaughter

Everybody’s caught up tryin' to find

Something to be a part of

Livin' with our guards up all the time

Forever with a wall up

And breaking through it all never crossed the mind

The world seems smaller

And greatness is withering on the vine

Won’t anybody take the lead?

It’s ourselves we love the least

Everyone seems make believe

That’s the nature of the beast

Couple dollars and a dream

What did mama say, kid?

Everything ain’t what it seem

Life is what you make it

We are, we are, going through the same thing

Going through the same shit

We are, we are, going through the same thing

Going through the same shit

Ay, all I wanted was to be more poppin' and to see more profit

What’s the detour options, ayy?

I feel like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, less Denzel Washington

When people are watching me

If the right amount of likes and follows can make me less hollow

I’d somehow be more complete

But people tend to be more toxic so we see more gossip

And there’s tension on the streets

Won’t anybody take the lead?

It’s ourselves we love the least

Everyone seems make believe

That’s the nature of the beast

Couple dollars and a dream

What did mama say, kid?

Everything ain’t what it seem

Life is what you make it

We are, we are, going through the same thing

Going through the same shit

We are, we are, going through the same thing

Going through the same shit

Everybody’s caught up trying to find

Living with our guards up all the time

And breaking through it all never crossed our minds

And greatness is withering on the vine

Couple dollars and a dream

What did mama say, kid?

Everything ain’t what it seem

Life is what you make it

We are, we are, going through the same thing

Going through the same shit

We are, we are, going through the same thing

Going through the same shit
