[ti:Contradiction's Maze] [ar:Oddisee/Maimouna Youseff] [al:The Good Fight] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Contradiction's Maze (Instrumental) - Oddisee [00:15.76]I think I'm in a maze [00:17.22] [00:18.73]I feel I'm conflicting within my brain [00:21.33] [00:22.21]All these contradictions got me feeling strange [00:25.35] [00:26.31]Is this the phase [00:27.42] [00:28.32]Or is this the way [00:29.44] [00:33.48]I wanna make nonstop profit [00:34.68] [00:35.71]I wanna make it non-profit [00:37.14]Close down a store when I go shopping [00:39.27]Open up the floor for a closed topic [00:41.14]And relax on a beach in remote tropics [00:43.04]But grind like I'm broke and I'm so jobless [00:45.29]Feeling like it's me against the world [00:46.62]It's the other way around [00:47.47]We polluting and we won't stop it [00:49.41]I wanna stay at home and play Xbox [00:51.18]But my homies keep on hitting up my inbox [00:53.12]Say it's been a long time since they seen me [00:54.94]So I'm cutting off the T V [00:55.87]And I meet 'em at the next spot [00:57.44]I think I want a job in an office [00:59.35]I am the epitome of what a boss is [01:01.62]A paycheck every two weeks [01:02.85]Over losing out on sleep [01:03.89]For the fear that I go starving [01:05.27] [01:05.94]And yet I wanna take more risk [01:07.31] [01:07.93]I don't wanna take more losses [01:09.20] [01:10.08]Wanna be a better spender [01:10.92]But I like the idea of not caring what the cost is [01:13.60]I wanna tell the truth even when it hurts [01:15.40]But when I get it back [01:16.42]I'd rather have the blow softened [01:17.76]Wanna pray 5 times a day [01:19.06]Am I heading to the mosque [01:20.15]Prolly not I don't go often [01:21.65]In the kitchen cooking dinner yeah I made that [01:23.73]Feelin' lazy so I'll prolly order takeout [01:25.22] [01:25.81]Better yet I'm really fiending for some Shake Shack [01:27.59]Lookin' at the plate like I gotta keep my weight down [01:29.72]In a circle of self worth and judgment [01:31.52]How you match it up gets puzzling [01:33.00]How to know enough is enough when your lust [01:34.69]For a much of enough it feels [01:36.23]Just as real as a something [01:37.37]I think I'm in a maze [01:38.67] [01:40.10]I feel I'm conflicting within my brain [01:42.46] [01:43.55]All these contradictions got me feeling strange [01:46.64] [01:47.61]Is this the phase [01:48.78] [01:49.67]Or is this the way [01:50.69] [01:53.31]I think I'm in a maze [01:54.70] [01:56.34]I feel I'm conflicting within my brain [01:58.68] [01:59.81]All these contradictions got me feeling strange [02:02.88] [02:03.89]Is this the phase [02:05.08] [02:05.96]Or is this the way [02:07.00] [02:10.11]I pretend that I listen a lot when people say things [02:13.06]I don't really care about [02:14.27]In one ear and it goes out [02:15.58] [02:16.13]And you wouldn't even notice [02:17.09]That my head was in the cloud [02:18.30]But my inner voice really wanna shout [02:19.67] [02:20.78]Quit crying you ain't dying [02:22.22]But I reply with legitimate advice like [02:23.80] [02:24.86]Keep trying they hiring [02:25.68] [02:26.36]But I really wanna tell them that they wasting time [02:28.17] [02:28.91]More importantly they wasting mine [02:30.39] [02:30.98]That's harsh and I'm not cold [02:32.75]Yeah I'm from the Capitol but I'm not bold [02:34.45] [02:35.39]I guess I really am a nice guy [02:37.08]Keep handled that they don't win races [02:38.48] [02:39.51]So I wanna be a track star [02:40.65]Laughing at the people tripping on they own laces [02:42.55] [02:43.08]That's tasteless and I got style [02:44.72]And I ain't got wings but I got house [02:46.74]And that's why folks wanna pick my brain [02:48.70]I saw the big picture when I picked my frame [02:51.08]But I think most y'all's pretentious [02:53.08]Prolly just surrounded by the egocentric [02:54.41] [02:54.96]And that rubbed off so [02:55.99]I say things that go along with the grain like [02:57.91]Yeah I meant it [02:58.61]I think I'm in a maze [02:59.89] [03:01.49]I feel I'm conflicting within my brain [03:03.89] [03:04.93]All these contradictions got me
